Description

I feel for all the blues fans out there. The Sens went through the exact same thing last year:

- Not living up to big expectations;
- Big trade (ROR - Duchene);
- A disconnect in the Dressing room;
- Their Captain / Best Defence is on the bloc (Pietrangelo - Karlsson);
- Questions in Net;
- They don't have their 1st round pick either this year or next;
- Ect...

If we look at what happened to the Sens, this is what you should expect:

1) Trading a veteran top 6 forward for a goalie prospect and picks;
2) Trading away Pietrangelo;
3) Keeping this year's pick;
4) Playing the rooks;
5) Getting rid of bad contracts;
6) Trading away their best scorer????? Would Tarensko be on the block!?!?! BEfore his NMC kicks in on July 1st. (I doubt it )

Look at all that Cap Space!
