Thread: Tkachuk Brothers Lafreniere and Stutzle
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>For the sake of my mental wellbeing I can't handle the thought of three years of Milan Lucic in Ottawa.

I'm not a fan of adding any more bad contracts beyond next season. You're hoping for Development next year, but you still expecting them to be bad. Beyond that, I want the sens to be icing a competitive roster.</div></div>

I don't expect them to be bad. I think they will be icing a competitive roster, but they also need to leave cap space for their younger players, and Lucic will fill that space until Ottawa's younger players will need contract extensions. He'll also provide physicality, experience...etc for 3 years. His contract sucks but Ottawa can take advantage of their cap space for now.

Thread: Stutzle and Lafreniere
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Green4D4Again</b></div><div>I am for this if Ottawa lands Byfield and say Rossi/Drysdale. Nothing wrong with letting them marinate in the minors. Give them 9-game trials and send them down to dominate their own leagues respectively. Laf and Stutzle are both NHL ready, though. I'd hope that Ottawa stays in lottery territory for another couple of years to land someone like Raty or Wright.</div></div>

I think Ottawa, though not great yet, is too good to be competing for the 1st overall pick again next year. With a growing core of young players, what will now be the second year under DJ Smith, and the additions of Lafrenière and/or Stützle, Ottawa will definitely be better next season. Even without adding players from this year's draft, Ottawa will improve. And honestly, I don't think Sens fans have enough patience to endure another year of being in lottery territory. Ottawa, after this draft, should have all the right pieces to be a contender soon.

Thread: Stutzle and Lafreniere
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>I think they will as well, but the inner Sens fan in me is deeply concerned about how much the loss of revenue will impact the Sens willingness to give out expensive contracts in the recent future.</div></div>

That is a really valid concern, but I think the Sens have been saving a lot of money the last few years by staying near the cap floor and having little office staff. And they've barely filled half the building this season so it's not like this will have that big of an impact on the team, they've been kind of used to not selling tickets. If anything, Melnyk will have to get a loan or sell a part of the team to someone who can help give out those expensive contracts. I don't know, I'm optimistic. I feel like the Sens have hit rock bottom and they can only rise from here.

Thread: Trade deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMhockey99</b></div><div>It's amazing how people like you troll and if I report it I get a infraction. And if I troll I get a infraction. This site is just full of trolls. Do I comment on your stuff? No I don't so stop commenting and trolling mine. Its just a fun thing and everyone takes it as literal trades, it's funny. Most trades on here won't happen.</div></div>

It's amazing how people like you can't take any simple criticism. The comments section is here for people to voice their thoughts on whatever others do. This time, your trades are not good, so expect to get heavy criticism. Yes the trades aren't real but people can get offended at how other people see the value of players on their teams. Both Brassard and Pacioretty have underachieved. So a one for one trade is enough, no need for the draft pick from Ottawa. Also, Saad for Karlsson would start riots on Parliament hill. Maybe try adding draft picks and a prospect or something to make the trade more reasonable. Same thing, White isn't getting traded anywhere. Him and Chabot are untouchables. That's why Ottawa had to include Nashville as a trading partner to get Duchene from the Avs while not giving up Chabot who the Avs really wanted.

Sorry if you're not enjoying the criticism, but expect to get comments, whether good or bad based off the posts you make, it's why the comments section is brought here in the first place.
