I’d say it looks good. I’d assume the 1C spot gets filled by one of Berniers or Kent Johnson (or ig Raty but I don’t rly see 1C offensive upside on him.) the RW spot ig could be filled in FA or a trade *cough* Laine *cough.* Also, I feel like the top 4 would be better suited as Chabot-JBD Sanderson-Brannstrom so there is one offensive minded and one defensive minded dman on each line. Anyway, if everyone pans out, this could be a real dangerous team for years to come.

I think the highest priority for a 2021 draft pick, beyond the best player available, should be a right shot scoring winger.

Logan Brown has had a steady climb since being drafted, and there's no reason to think his ceiling has changed, and remains the anticipated 1C. Josh Norris had a great season in the AHL, but he still has a 2C ceiling. Mentioning Josh Norris's age can be countered with Logan Brown's size, and that it takes longer for big guys to develop, and Browns pretty big at 6'6". We'll know in the next season or two how this all pans out, but on paper, Brown still has the edge here.

Logan Brown has developed consistently (D+ years since he was drafted)

D+0 1.14 ppg OHL
D+1 1.50 ppg OHL

D+2 0.75 ppg AHL
D+3 1.12 ppg AHL

D+1 4 NHL games, 1 point (as a 19 yo)
D+2 2 NHL games, 0 points (as a 20 yo)
D+3 0.35 ppg NHL (23 games, 8 points as a 21 yo)

Many of these guys won't even end up as full time NHL players ... that's just life my man.

And referencing them as "The Cup Winning Sens Team" implies that they've already won a cup or will 100% win a cup.

I don't think any of those things are true bruv.

Good for you man. Our prospect pool is stacked and we will sign 1 more good UFA , draft 1 more top 5 pick and pull off a blockbuster trade for a top player. But keep hating

There was zero hate in my comment.

Ottawa is not a lock to win an upcoming Stanley cup.

Some of Ottawa's 20 best prospects won't make the NHL.

These are just facts man.
