He will be staying in the NHL. Just not with the Sens.

Yes but he showed 0 signs of improvement . He’s a defensive Dman who can’t do anything offensively but also has been getting lost and can’t defend properly

He was, but evidently he's been surpassed by Maxence Guennette. JBD is a smart defensive D, but his physical tools are all mediocre. Compared to the NCAA level his strength and skating just don't carry him as far as they did in college, he's a relied upon defender in Belleville but he gets lost in the NHL.

Guennette is also a smart stick defender, but he's got a bigger frame, a smooth stride and way more puck talent. I don't want to lose Bernard-Docker for nothing, but he's 23, if he's not able to beat out a former 7th round pick, I don't think Ottawa's losing some huge part of the future.

Just unfortunate he couldn’t put it all together at the NHL level

This is what I found on JBD yesterday :

From 2020-21 to 2021-22, JBD only played 32 NHL games but among the 22 Sens D-men who played on the team, he ranks 4th best xGA/60 (only Kleven, Heatherington and Reilly were higher, also small sample sizes) and the 2nd best GA/60 (only Larsson had a better one but only 8 games). There's literally 1 more goal allowed per 60 when Hamonic is on the ice (2.13 vs 3.13). And you have to note that JBD was 20 to 22 y/o during that time, not even fully NHL ready

So this is the only stat that matters for JBD, GA and xGA

That doesn't mean that he is great or anything but a boring "safe" kind of guy could be useful to have as a 6th/7th, instead of a continuous adventure like Hamonic or a totally unproven guy like Guenette. Poor Brannstrom that will have to carry Hamonic all year. It's the 3rd pair but he's not as good as Sanderson. It will bring down Brannstrom's game and trade value. So likely another asset pissed away

I think Sokolov will be picked up by tomorrow , that was another stupid waiver by OTT, wow what is wrong with your GM, has he lost it?

he has always been chiarelli lvl of bad, but he has had way m ore luck than chiarelli

Making the Staios/Andlauer decision very easy. Imagine DJ Smith will do the same in short order. Team is going nowhere with those two. In a years time my money is on Mathieu Darche and Patrick Roy in those roles.

Never had it.


Mathieu Darche is very smart so I'd be all for it. Patrick Roy is a winner, just hope he'd bring the right assistants
