Thread: All division winners are out

As someone with no real horse in this race, I'm glad we're getting some fresh blood in the later rounds. Much rather watch Carolina and New York than Washington and Pittsburgh for the millionth time.

Also from a Sens perspective, these outcomes could have implications for Ottawa getting picks.

Thread: Kadri

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>People need to fuuck off with this "dirty" ****. Connor McDavid got suspended for a hit to the head. Guess he's dirty too. Yes Kadri cross checked someone in the head, not saying it's acceptable. But if he drops the gloves and suckers the guy he's still called dirty. There's no way to please people when sticking up for teammates. & if we're gonna talk about suckering people, look what Chara to to Tavares at the end of the second period in game 7.. guess Chaya's dirty too.

**** off with that excuse.</div></div>

There is a third option between cross checking a guy in the head and sucker-punching him where you don't do any thuggish garbage.

I doubt they will want to risk blowing up the left side of their D as well. Subban has wrecked another team. There's a pattern here. He comes in and takes the team to great heights in his first season with his skills and then destroys the team with his "personality." He's Paul Coffey redux. Don't be surprised if he plays on 4 more teams in the next 8 years.

Somewhere this morning, Marc Bergevin is chortling over his coffee.</div></div>

PK is not the reason they haven't won anything. Pekke Rinne has had one good playoff performance in the last half decade. That one good performance? They went to the cup final. Most inconsistent goalie of the last decade.

If you're trying to build the worst possible defense, Cody Ceci is available for way too much money this offseason.

Thread: Senators Top 10 Prospects

Don't sleep on Parker Kelly. He's probably got a lower ceiling than some of these guys, but he's a gamer, and I think he might surprise people next year. He's my pick for the opening roster upset of 2019-20. There's at least one every year for the last couple of years. (Lajoie, Formenton, Chabot)

Thread: CAR BUF OTT Fans

There's a good argument for Ottawa helping TO with that Marleau Contract. It's high in cap hit, but low in actual Salary, it adds a much needed veteran presence to what is a largely young inexperienced team, and they can add picks to keep aiding the rebuild.

That said, I'm not doing this deal. Paul is an ideal depth piece for Ottawa's future. Big, fast, Strong, and a strong defensive player to boot. He's by no means a star, but he's a solid Depth player who Ottawa should hold onto.

Sens also shouldn't be giving an offsetting pick. Drop both prospects as well as Gaborik, and leave just the 2nd going to Ottawa, or maybe something like A 3rd and a middling prospect like engvall.

Forum: Armchair-GMSat at 2:21 pm

Thread: Is it 2020 yet

Ottawa has no reason to take that. Sens should be looking to trade away expensive bottom six players, not add them. They have a bunch of young forwards looking for roster spots in the next couple of years, and they need to clear out space. They should look to move Boedker, Smith, Pageau etc in the next year or two.

Thread: Statements must be made

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Username_Bot</b></div><div>Yeah right. He played fantastically for the Bruins. Probably because how bad Ottawa is and playing on their 4th line makes his talent decay.</div></div>

It's a cop out to say its Ottawa's fault. Sens had plenty of AHL call ups this year who looked like they belonged. Carey didn't.

Maybe he's been better since coming to Boston, but he was not good in Ottawa.

Thread: Statements must be made

Paul Carey is an AHL stud, but he's not an NHL player. He's maybe the worst player to suit up for Ottawa this season. Don't know what it is, but his skillset does not translate at all.

Incredible draft for Ottawa. Half of our current NHL Defense, our top centre, a potential starting goalie.

I would think if that happened, Nylander would have been developed into a full time centre.

He was the same way though right? Big guy, just didn't have the strength for his size yet.

Thread: Brady at Center

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMac66</b></div><div>I don't mind the idea at all. The only condition is I would want to see his skating improve come training camp. He's not the smoothest, in fact sometimes he looks awkward. If he can get quicker with his transitions and acceleration I think him at C could be good.</div></div>

I think his skating will right itself once he fills out a bit more. He looked like Bambi at times. He would stop up or make a sharp turn, and he'd lose his legs from under him. When he did get up to speed I thought his skating was fine, it's just the balance/ co-ordination that needs work.

Thread: Ottawa value for johnny

Gaudreau is a phenomenal player, but Brady is special In Ottawa. He's the heartbeat of the team, and he's probably going to be the Captain eventually.

Also there is a strong chance Ottawa will be even worse than this year, so there's a good chance that pick could end up being Lafreniere. Sens dodged a huge bullet with the lottery this year, it could be a decade before we trade away our 1st again.

Thread: Just announced USA

Another great opportunity for Colin White. Playing center for Kane and Cat last year was important for him in terms of developing as a Centre. Had a shaky first pro season, and he never looked confident in his abilities down the middle, and played mostly on the wing during his stints in the NHL. Had a good showing last year and came to camp with a whole new swagger.
