How I think theyll start the year without more trades

I've wanted to know whether its Stutzle or Stuetzle?

Sens just today confirmed he'll be using Stuetzle, and wearing 18. I think the NHL should just allow umlauts and such, but that's probably not happening for whatever reason.

I really struggle to see how Norris doesn't make this team. I kind of see L.Brown being a potential fit at LW more than C. The organization clearly isn't fully comfortable with trusting him with all the responsibilities of being a C, and playing him at LW makes room for him and Norris.

Also I'm pretty confident Brannstrom will be on this team. There's no reason for Mike Reilly to be playing ahead of Wolanin or Brannstrom imo.

I see. thx

This is just what I think the team itself will actually do come opening day. Norris had a breakout year in the AHL last year and Brannstrom is great but the Sens have been pretty (almost overly) cautious about rushing their prospects. Admittedly I think L. Brown starting in Ottawa is a bit of a stretch because you're right that the team hasn't shown much confidence in him. I feel he has to be given a chance to find a spot in the NHL roster for the health of his career and to maintain his value as a first round pick, there's much less pressure on Norris this year. My hope is that Norris and Brannstrom are both called up as the season progresses if they don't make the Ottawa team out of camp.
