After months of sitting on the sidelines while seemingly every other team fought for the Stanley Cup, Pierre Dorion has made up for lost time in the past month. Ottawa has made numerous signings and trades, bringing in higher-end talents such as Matt Murray and Evgenii Dadonov, and plenty more of depth additions, including Alex Galchenyuk, Austin Watson, and Erik Gudbranson.
It’s the latter group I want to focus on today, as Murray and Dadonov are the types of players that should immediately make the team better and were acquired at a reasonable cost.
