Team: 2024-25 Ottawa Senators

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 20, 2024

Published: Mar. 20, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

First, sign a coach ASAP that demands accountability from the players. I bet it would be Gruden, because if it's going to be Berube, that would already been done for an extended training camp.

Also, Ottawa will win the lottery. Bettman took us a 1st round and Pinto for half a season. Andlauer didn't even complain because he was promised if the Sens ended in the bottom 6, they would have granted the 1st overall

It explains the poor playing lately. We know that the team isnt great but especially after Pinto's return, they showed that they are better than this.

Tanev or DeMelo signing. If DeMelo 4.6 x 4 years

Oh, please. The NHL would never do anything to help Ottawa. A bottom ten that includes Chicago, Pittsburgh, and New Jersey means one of those three will walk away with Celebrini, guaranteed.

Dream on think Chychrun is worth that. Sens might be the least appealing team in the East Conference (maybe Columbus). They have to overpay to attract UFAs.

Of course he does. He simply didn't became a liability. If he were paired with Zub, his game would be enhanced. The thing is that between Chabot and Chych, the Sens can only have one.

About the overpay, I have 1,8M in cap space. So no problem. Tanev at 5M, Blueger at 3M and Brossoit at 2,5M, all of them massive overpays, and still under the cap

Doubt Chychrun would return that much with or without retention.

the sens has been playing this bad because they are bad, they play without any structure and they give up a ridiculous amount of prime scoring chances, they will end up most likely with a pick between 4th and 6th. But without some major changes to that team's core its not gonna matter.

All owners are on the Board of Governors. The "NHL" is non profit entity. The owners create a the NHL. Bettman and all the admin people of the NHL are just actually employees of the owners.
