Jonas Mahonas 1,872 Report post Posted June 30, 2023 33 minutes ago, Axl Foley said: So apparently, Ottawa is not allowing any teams to discuss a contract before he is traded. This is most likely the sticking point preventing a deal. Nobody wants to make the same mistake as Dorion and give up valuable assets for a guy they may not be able to re-sign. Pride wont do him any good at this point. He shpuld just take what's available and move on. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bIueadams 776 Report post Posted June 30, 2023 Why trade for him when we can have him for free next year. Dorion has been very clear about Dcat - Dcat has NOT asked for a trade - he's merely expressed he won't re-sign. Yzerman is no rush to obtain costly talent. If Dcat wants to be here he'll get here next year. 2 Rick D and marcaractac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then he'll still be a Wing next summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whole family worked for GM, and i'll never buy American again. Last two GMs i bought had so many problems. Only decent car they make is the Silverado now. And still Id rather have an F150 or a Dodge.

Would by German, not named VW, or Japanese brands now (Not Korean). Trucks are another story.

I think its a combo of all 3 and especially C. But also, D - Yzerman wasnt planning on giving up picks/prospects for NOW players at this stage of the rebuild. So if Dcat is coming here the price is going to have to knock his socks off. Unless the Isles step up for Dcat, SY has Dorion by the balls. Hopefully he feels the pressure to get Tarasenko b4 Carolina does, and takes a cheap return from SY to get that done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
