Thread: Stronger in Goal RD Top and Bottom 6
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Green4D4</b></div><div>Logging in to tell you that that is simply not the case. Korpi and Forsy have been so bad that they have legitimately cost the Sens a shot at the playoffs. Had they had a league average of .900%, Ottawa would be where Detroit and Washington are... and that is after the defensive implementations JM and CO. have instituted. 21 out of the 76 games Ottawa has played, they have let in the first or second shot on goal... that is awful.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt early when DJ Smith was still apart of the team. But, after the entire team (OFF and DEF) increased their advanced defensive stats, the goalies took the biggest step back in terms of play that made me lose my mind...</div></div>

Been there! Jones last few years in SJ drove me nuts and I feel with a better goalie we would have had a chance at the cup in 18/19! Instead of getting tossed in the WCF.
But goaltending is Vodoo one year you get all world and the next they guy fails to break 900% it’s the most frustrating position in sports

Thread: 5 acceptable ways in which the Stars can pay for Tarasenko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>1. Dadonov is out long-term.

2. Because Tanev and Hanifin might cost more.</div></div>

If it were Duchene, or Robertson, or Johnston, etc. then I'd be more inclined to try and add a forward. I like Dadonov, but he was not a major offensive contributor in Dallas' top-9. Shoot, Sam Steel is almost producing at the same rate as Dadonov. It just doesn't seem worth it for Dallas to use a 1st Round Pick (or equal value) to replace a 3rd line forward when they can either slot in someone like Steel to that role or simply just use Stankoven/Bourque to fill that role.

Tanev should not cost MORE than Tarasenko either. Hanifin, very likely would (and should), but it would also be more worth it for Dallas in the long run. Shoot, if I'm making a deal with Ottawa, Chychrun is probably at the top of my list, given my needs. If I'm Dallas and I'm okay moving some of the assets you have listed here then I'm not going for a middle-6 winger. I want a true top-4 defenseman like Chychrun.

Thread: 10 reasons why Jarmo Kekalainen should be hired as GM of the Ottawa Senators
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JacketsComrade</b></div><div>the jarmo kekalainen - ville siren combo is hard to beat. if there were banners to raise for mid-late round value they'd be raising them. edit to add: if you have a russian you need to get over to north america, jarmo has a very good track record at getting prospects out of russia.</div></div>

He drafted a huge chunk of the heart of the Blues Cup team, despite having left the organization nearly a decade earlier. Perron, Petro, Tarasenko and Schwartz were all his picks. And he kinda set the standard and the structure and the methods of the Blues scouting department that has continued to largely kill it at the draft since he left. And before Jarmo, the Blues were one of the worst drafting teams in the league. A tire fire in a dumpster floating down a flooded street.
