A lot of offensive skill, should be fun to watch but still a bit like last year, really lacking in terms of 2-way play. And the current coaching staff are not the ones who can instill strong hockey systems

Hopefully we don’t get injuries because I don’t want anyone from the line of violence in the top 9. That’s what happened last year and it destroyed 2 scoring lines
Well last year, losing Norris and Formenton for the whole season is what destroyed the forward group. Dorion didn't see it coming which weird since we have known about the Team Canada scandal for a while. He tried to replace Formenton with Motte but the guy is a 4th liner. And you can't just replace Norris, and it was too much to ask to Pinto.
Because of that, we finished 25th in GF% at ES which is almost an automatic no playoffs
If we kept Paul, Brown and cap space (for another 2-way forward) instead of DeBrincat, Joseph and Gambrell but we had already decided to go another route

I wonder who will replace Tarasenko & Kubalik when Sanderson needs a new contract soon

Will be tough to have good depth when there is no Cap space.
I made an AGM (that I didn't post) with Pinto with a 4.0 AAV and Sanderson with a 7.0 AAV and the Sens had close to 7 M$ in cap space with a Top-9 spot and a 4th line spot to fill (I kept Joseph and traded Kubalik to get cap compliant in 2023-24). And I also traded Brannstrom for a young top-9 forward
