Confirmed with Link: Anderson will be signed to retire a Sen

[NyQuil]

I think Pageau should get into the ring of honor for his playoff magic alone

Then you might be looking at someone like Turris.

I'm not really sure myself where the line is for the Ring of Honor.

 

[Stylizer1]

i think he just wants the free chicken dinner.
And job.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Ring of Honor for sure for Anderson.

Could see guys like Stone, Hossa, Chara joining it some day if they are interested.

It's tempting to retire Karlsson's number. He was such a big deal here.

That shouldn't even be a question should it?

Best player in franchise history. Captain. Hardware to match including the only 3 time Norris winner since Lidstrom. Decent tenure with the team. An "almost was" run like Alfie, Phillips and Neil.

I agree. That's too far.

Every other guy who has a retired number played (essentially) his entire tenure with the team.

Is Karlsson the only medium-tenured guy worth retiring? Probably.

His number also isn't very common.

If you have a chant you should be a shoo-in imo

Zub is happy.

For sure, but I think most would agree that Phillips and Neil were players with no business getting their numbers retired IF they didn't have that tenure. That was basically their ticket in. Good, beloved players no doubt, but not the kind that would ever be retired by an organization without that. And they were compensated extremely well to stay that last while in contrast to performance, whereas we got off Karlsson cuz of the price tag and term.

I think Karlsson's peak, hardware, and role are enough to make up for the tenure.

And good point, it's not like retiring 65 is gonna matter much lol, it's just more history for the team to lean in to.

Granted, that was also the most affected by Melnyk period this team had, so maybe we just want to forget the Karlsson period altogether lol.

Or, when he's ready to retire, they sign him to a one day contract, then retire his number (like they did with Alfie).

Less of a chant. More of a drone?

The “Woo!” yells we heard are for Sens prospect Ken Wu.

Looking at that is like the opposite of seeing your dad without a mustache for the first time as a kid. Weird.

 

[ATdaisuki]

You love to see this. Most iconic Senators goaltender. He had some amazing highs with us. Hasek will always be the best goalie to play for the Senators, but for the foreseeable future Anderson will be the greatest. Andy! Andy! Andy! Andy! Andy!

So weird. I couldn't even imagine Andy with hair.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Weird how he's going right back to the Sabres as a player "liaison" whatever that means.

 

[chipsens]

Sens will present him with a solid silver carving knife

It’s not like an escort is it?

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Perhaps

According to the Sabres, Anderson will be "a trusted voice in the Sabres' locker room, providing insight, guidance, and support" to the players and coaching staff.

 

[playasRus]

I hope they make reference to the chicken breast finger slicing incident.

He should get on the ring of honour for being the subject of the greatest Sens chant of all time.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Playing during his wife's cancer situation was pretty special too. Memory is fuzzy, but I recall some big energy and him playing well. Talbot came down to applaud for the 3 star announcement in the Edmonton game.

Question for Dorion



Well maybe Dorion isn't the right guy to ask this to.
