Brian Murray won't let us become a soft team, he loves the gritty players. We can't sacrifice skill for fighting ability, I'd rather guys like Pageau than fighters. I don't want someone who goes out looking for a fight, I want someone who will say "I don't care if you're bigger and an actual fighter, we don't get pushed around because we are a team." I don't care of we lose every fight, we just need the feistyness.

When? Like two years ago? He got suspended on Val'dor at the start of last season, but I thought Trey was playing in Mirimichi at the time (brother played with him)
I never heard anything about his suspension this year, even being around a few rinks

Did I just read that Derek Grant's abilities as a pugilist could replace Chris Neil?
Sorry I totally thought the article was about the Sens needing to make cap space to sign some key RFAs. I must have missed the point. Not sure how well Grant can or cannot fight but my money would be on Neil if it came to that.
They probably need to clear about 4-5 million bucks to sign Stone, Zib, Pageau, Hoffman, Chiasson no matter how well Grant can fight.
Quite the goal by Lindberg last night. Guy is going to make Binghamton better next year.
Wonder if Paul is a centre or wing prospect in Senators minds. Paul could end up as his centre.

Paul and Lindberg together would be amazballs. Now picture them developing to eventually play with Lazar
(that would be a great/perfect 3rd line)

Paul-Lazar-Lindberg 1st line for Bingo to start next year?
Btw, Derek Grant is anything but Neil. Imagine a subtle 2 way defensive minded puck possession 4th line C who can finish his checks... uh Brian Boyle?

Jeez, listening to Lindberg on TSN1200, he does not have much of an accent considering he's been here for less than a year.
IMHO Cowen is a significantly better fighter than Gryba. He's fought much tougher opponents, more often and had much more success than Gryba has with the gloves off.
Borowiecki is very game, will take on all comers and has a very aggressive style but his lack of balance and defense in fights expose him to the risk of getting smoked by pretty much any opponent he faces. He's had some success against scrappy guys but tends to end up on the losing end against experienced guys. He also had some success this year catching guys by surprise with the flurries of lefts which is an advantage he won't have next season. As boring as it sometimes is, he could really use some grappling lessons from Neil before he gets KO'ed. Neil is one of the best at protecting himself in a fight. It sure is fun to watch him go but you don't want him to end up with concussion issues.
I agree on Dunn. Looks like a bit of a loose cannon but he has potential to be useful if he keeps his head on straight. Hopefully he takes being released as a wake up call and like you suggested comes to camp with a major chip on his shoulder. Does anyone know if he'll be invited to camp?
I also agree on McCarron and Tinordi, they're ok but not intimidating guys like Lucic.
I do think Tinordi is better than McCarron. McCarron hasn't shown much unless he's had massive size advantage on his opponent.
I see a lot of Habs fan excited to see McCarron come up and neutralize Lucic, I think they'll be dissapointed.
Don't worry, I agree that given the cap situation and his declining abilities, it might be time for Neil to move on, but saying Grant could replace the fighting part of what Neil brings is just a terrible argument to support it.
Think he's lying about this whole 'Swedish' thing just to win favour with the fans?
Well his name doesn't end with "son" so he obviously doesn't want us to know who his father is...

Wouldn't it be vice versa the way swedes have been shipped out or are being shipped out....

I've posted this before, but I was very impressed by how Dunn looked in the rookie tourney of Sept 2013. I think it was shortly after that the Sens signed him to his ELC? Or maybe it was tail end of that season.
He clearly did not look as good in the games I watched in last years rookie tourney.

Still not blown away by these Lindberg goals that are being hilighted.
I mean, I like Lindberg as a prospect, but none of this is translateable at the pro level.
Trying not to be a Debbie Downer here on Lindberg, but I see a guy who still has a lot of work to do, and is far from a sure thing.
For a late pick there's lots to be excited about... But lets not bet the farm or anything...

Oh yeah, for sure. I think he's a great example of getting value with a later pick.
All I'm trying to say is that I'm looking at these "hilight" goals over the past two weeks (this one, the one where he has an entire weekend to score in front of the net), and I don't see them as "pro" goals. Good for the CHL, but not the kind of goals you can expect to score with any regularity once you're out of Major Junior.
Yeah, it will definitely be interesting to see how he does in the AHL, can he go next year?

No ones calling him a saviour or anything. If you look closer people are pencilling him into their third lines. Guy has the tools to be a good NHL player that can play on your third line and substitue into your power play or penalty kill when someone goes down.

Stone, Hoffman and Lazar also scored goals like this. I think its more that he has a scorers mentality and projects well physically.
Lots of what happens in junior doesnt look transferable.
