“Today’s trade showcases our determination to strengthen the future of the team by improving chemistry, leadership and character in the locker room and on the ice. We are confident it is a step in the right direction for the long-term success of this organization,” said Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said in a statement.

“Mikkel Boedker is a competitive, versatile, two-way forward who can play both wings,” added Dorion. “He has a track record of playing his best hockey in the most important games, including the playoffs and internationally. His skill set – in particular his speed – along with his veteran leadership fits with our vision for the team.”


Boedkker is the centrepiece of the deal for the Senators. He has 109 goals, 179 assists and 288 points in 618 games.


Először azt akartam írni, hogy nem kaptunk semmit érte, de átmehet egy Grabner féle átalakulásba akár. Persze, mivel a cápáktól jött, lehet Cheechoo, vagy Michalek is. Egy Michalek-kel kiegyeznék.

Összességében olyan rossz ez a csere, hogyha Karlsson nem ír alá, akkor nagy szégyen.
