Overall, Ottawa Senators GM Pierre Dorion has done a sensational job in the off-season, but also in the current campaign. He added two top forwards with the acquisitions of Alex DeBrincat and Claude Giroux, and did not touch any of the regular players in his lineup. Also, just before the trade deadline, he made another big move by adding undeniable depth to his blue line with the acquisition of Jakob Chychrun, for a surprisingly good price for the Sens. In short, despite all these great moves by Dorion, the team was frankly disappointing for a good part of the campaign. Despite the fact that the GM felt it was time for his team to make the playoffs this year, it will be another early exit for Ottawa. On the other hand, among the good trades made by the Sens GM, there is one that was a disaster for the organization, and will be very costly in the long run for the Sens. While he was convinced that he needed to add a number one goalie to make the playoffs, Dorion traded a promising 24 year old goalie in Filip Gustavsson for a 35 year old veteran and future free agent in Cam Talbot. Now almost a full season later, it's clear that this was a disastrous move by Dorion, and may have even cost them a playoff spot. In addition to not paying the dividends hoped for in net, Talbot has been plagued by injuries that have limited him to just under 35 games. He has a 2.89 GAA and a .900 save percentage. Even worse, Gustavsson has been a revelation in Minnesota. He has blossomed this year, playing the same number of games as Talbot, and his stats are phenomenal. He has a 2.03 GAA and a .932 SV%. So, in addition to trading a goalie of the future in Gustavsson, the Senators won't end up with anything from that trade this summer, as Talbot has already expressed interest in testing the free agent market. This leaves the Senators without a playoff spot, and soon without a number one goalie. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/MimmoD7/status/1641438581595189249?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1641438581595189249%7Ctwgr%5Ea71202394fca55155dcbd6ddc739ee369a74ed74%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fembed.attr.dev%2Fapi%2Fiiffrraammee%3Furl%3Dhttps3A2F2Ftwitter.com2FMimmoD72Fstatus2F1641438581595189249key%3D8cf2f0e21f24a80b733beb826dbad781v%3D1app%3D1'> </a></blockquote></div> Credit: <a href='https://www.habsolumentfan.com/ailleurs-dans-la-lnh/les-sens-rateront-les-series-eliminatoires-en-raison-d-une-mauvaise-transaction?ref=marco&fbclid=IwAR35eB5iU_7BAVo4rFeljzGDgJZX4cnqVbWzjHz0Yki86TsvmvzPtPlYgyU' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>HabsolumentFan</a>
