Thread: Sens might not be the worst North team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>grodziQ</b></div><div>this didn't age well, did it?</div></div>

Sure. The Sens finished the season remarkably well from the trade deadline on. They were also an entirely different team from the team the Sens had to start the year, which absolutely was the worst team in the division. They basically replaced half a roster's worth of ****ty do nothing Vets with young talented players. There was one Dman who was in the lineup opening night that was in the lineup to finish the season.

I don't think anyone said anything that wasn't true about the team as it sat on opening night. You can give a lot of credit to the young talent for really elevating the team once they got the reigns, you can even give credit to Dorion for doing an excellent job of cleaning up his messes and bringing in some quality talent mid season (Mete, Forsberg, Bishop, Amadio), but I don't think that makes anyone wrong for saying the ****ty team they opened the season with was ****ty.

Really excited to see where they go from here. There's a LOT to be excited about here, but they definitely need to learn from this season. If they just keep looking for the next Stepan/Gudbranson to fill out "vet leadership" instead of trusting in the young talent they won't take the meaningful step that they could. If they play the offseason right they could easily be a wildcard team next year.
