Wow. What a week it has been.
I’ve been one of Pierre Dorion’s biggest critics, yet even I am extremely happy with what he has done thus far by acquiring Alex DeBrincat, Claude Giroux, and Cam Talbot, while also shedding salaries that weren’t necessary (plus signing Josh Norris to 8 years). He has surpassed all of our expectations, and the crazy thing is he’s not done yet. Every local and national reporter keeps mentioning that the Senators are looking at defensemen like John Marino, Mackenzie Weegar, Jacob Chychrun, and John Klingberg. Any of those defensemen will be a massive upgrade, especially since they’ll have to dump Nikita Zaitsev to get that done.
