Thread: maple leafs the future

Lol Ottawa takes that and runs

Forum: Armchair-GMThu at 9:05 pm

Thread: We could take him for a price

If you're not able to send Zaitsev the other way, I'm not interested in taking cap dumps at this stage. Especially with Boychuk, locking in two of three RD spots for two years on two of the worst Dmen in the league is an absolute non option for Ottawa. I can deal with Zaitsev, or I could deal with Boychuk, but I'm not doing both.

Thread: Making Progress

I wish Arty was gone, because it'd clear room for my boy Chlappie, but this is a horrible deal for Ottawa. Arty is a good player and he'll get you a pick at the deadline. Plus he and Dadonov are supposedly buds, so you probably should hang on to him.

Thread: SENS FANS- Read Desc

I don't see a deal for Brannstrom ever really making sense for both sides. If it's a prospect for prospect swap, I think Ottawa is pretty much always losing, because I don't think any team is giving up a Brannstrom level prospect to get a different prospect. Prospect swaps usually only happen with struggling prospects, and I would still classify Brannstrom as a blue chip D prospect.

As far as trading Brannstrom for NHL players, the only NHL players it would make sense to part ways with Brannstrom for, are players who would cost way more than just Erik Brannstrom.

Thread: Carolina Hurricanes signed Max McCormick (1 Year / $700,000 AAV)

I was pulling for him for such a long time in Ottawa. He's a little dude but he's a legitimate psychopath, and it's so much fun to watch.

Thread: Where does this team finish

There are some good players here, but that C depth is atrocious. They're going nowhere without a real 2C

Thread: Ottawa is a darkhorse for the playoffs

No they extremely are not. And that's fine, because they aren't building to be a playoff team this year.

Also none of those UFA signings make any sense, and they're all being used horribly.

Forum: Armchair-GMWed at 6:17 pm

Thread: what is holding them back

What an unbelievably stupid idea. Doing this would basically leave this entire year as a complete write off in terms of development progress for so many of Ottawa's prospects who need chances at the NHL level.

Thread: A lot of bottom pair dmen on this roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>If DeMelo is in your top 4 you have one of the worst top 4 D's in the league.</div></div>

If he's your number 1 or 2, I'd agree with you, but he's a very effective 3/4. He's not sexy, but you can play him 18-20 minutes all situations and be confident that he will produce good results.

He's a guy who makes other players better. In Chabot's entire career, the only D partner who has truly elevated Chabot's play, not dragged him down was Dylan DeMelo. He doesn't even need to be the best player on his D pair to be a very effective top 4 option.

Thread: A lot of bottom pair dmen on this roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wpgman</b></div><div>If DeMelo was a Top4 then why did he only sign for $3 mil? DeMelo can fill in for injuries but should not be a permanent Top4.</div></div>

That is top 4 money? You don't give four years at 3mil to a guy you see as a 5/6. It's too easy to find bottom pair guys, there's no need to commit to them like that.

"Top 4" defenseman doesn't mean "superstar defenseman". He's a simple, no frills defender who can eat minutes all situations and generates good results.

Thread: A lot of bottom pair dmen on this roster

Melo is a top 4 dman, and a better option than Hamonic at this point. He's not sexy but he drives play at both sides of the ice.

Forum: Armchair-GMTue at 11:49 pm

Thread: My take on what their starting lineup should look like

Tkachuk takes the odd faceoff, but he's not a C, and he's never going to be one. Also Arty Party has absolutely no business in the top six. He's a 4th liner at most.

Forum: NHL SigningsTue at 3:03 pm

Thread: Ottawa Senators signed Filip Chlapik (1 Year / $735,000 AAV)

Prove it deal for a guy who is, in my opinion, ready to cement himself as an everyday 4C. I think he both benefited from and was hurt by Scoty Sabourin being a full time NHL player last season. I think once he started playing with Sabourin, he really found that extra gear in his physical game, especially on the forecheck. The flip side was that when Sabbie was in the lineup, DJ did not trust his 4th line for more than 7-8 min a night.

For Chlapik to be successful this year, when he gets into the lineup, he needs to push his way onto the Penalty kill. He's been a great AHL PK guy for a while, and he was a pretty incredible defensive forward at the NHL level last year. If he can combine those things and become an important PK centre this year, it makes it much harder to pull him out of the lineup.

I don't think there are many Sens players I'm pulling for harder this year. He's very close to where Nick Paul was last year, where he's so close to being a player, he just needs that chance.

I love Brady, but it's still WAY too early for him to be here. Marty Havlat in for sure.

Thread: Ottawa Senators signed Chris Tierney (2 Years / $3,500,000 AAV)

Two years is right about where you want him. He's a good leader this year and part of next year, but he's not part of the future.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kaljakori</b></div><div>Good player, but I would've tried to get more term. He's entering his prime. Better give him the 5- or 6-year term now rather than when he's 28.</div></div>

Tierney won't be here beyond the length of this deal. Look at the Cs coming through.

Thread: Is this a top 5 team

I'd be very surprised if Perfetti was ready to play as a 2C in just one year. His skating still needs work imo, and he needs to add muscle. It honestly wouldn't be the worst thing to let him stay in Junior til he's 20.

Thread: Is Justin Williams a future hall of famer

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Breadmanhawks</b></div><div>What about Eric Staal, Rick Nash, Jeff Carter, Mike Richards, Simon Gagne, Gaborik, Koivu, Gionta, Claude Lemieux (he has a smythe), Turgeon, Mogilny, Tkachuk, Naslund, Hejduk, Bertuzzi, Prospal, Satan, Sharp, B. Richards, Tanguay, Voracek</div></div>

I'm sure a bunch of those guys will end up in the HOF? I think fans hold the HOF to a way higher standard than is actually there. It isn't just the Crosbys and McDavids who make it in.

Thread: Is Justin Williams a future hall of famer

I've had this debate so many times, and I just can't convince myself not to put him there. Over 1200 games, 300 goals, nearly 800 points, and he was otherworldly in the playoffs. I think he's probably a fringe case, but I think the legend of Justin Williams the playoff performer gets him in. 3 cups, 160 games, 100 points, and a Conn Smythe.

He's probably going to wait around for a long time, but he should be in the HOF in my opinion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Wow. Yeah, never mind the comprehensive, overwhelming statistical evidence, never mind the signifcant role in team successes that dwarf Suzuki/Montreal this season.

So where is this comprehensive, overwhelming statistical evidence? Because as far as I can see they're pretty similar.
