GDT: Senators Vs Leafs 1/10/2018 7:30PM ET

Hopefully Smith has a big night a dupes some scouts.

Is that Don Maloney, former Phoenix GM, working for Calgary as a scout?

His track record at the draft was not good. Only had 6 players not drafted in the first round to play over 100 games.

Boooo unfair.

If the Sens were playing well enough to have two representatives, Stone wold likely be there.
But this is a show for fans and after last years playoffs, Karlsson got a lot of media play and is a star and most fans would likely want to see him..
Stones time will come.

Not sure his position but he did get hired by the Flames.

Edit: He’s their VP of hockey operations.

Ah okay, I don't know why I was surprised since Treliving worked under Maloney in Phoenix. Funny how often that happens.

lmao the thumbnail for this thread is hilarious

 

[Philadelphia Collins]

Excited to see what White can do in the top 6. El Chlapo centring Burrows and Dumont...good luck bud lol

I recall during Dorion's infamous "Pierre Dorion makes hockey decisions" press conference, that he stated something to the effect of once the team is completely out, they will have to consider using the rest of the season to further the development of young players.

Chabot stapled to Karlsson, White now on Ryan's wing. Are these Boucher's choices, or is this part of a greater direction?

Either way, I am selfishly happy about it. At least it gives us something to look forward to when watching the games, seeing how our top prospects play in bigger roles.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

You'd get my vote for at least one 2017 HFSens award Burrows

Oh no

 

[Burrowsaurus]

You get an A+ for being Ceci's biggest supporter

Toughest job on the board.

Mostly influenced by injuries and pressure

Isn't it mostly due to injuries?

Sure, Chabot's gotten more time with EK, but White wouldn't be playing in the top-6 if Bobby's hand hadn't gotten shattered once again, and with Oduya, Wideman and Boro out, I'm sure that's a big reason why Thomas has gotten a real chance to stick with Karlsson.

Just not sure we should be seeing a major trend here when these moves are mostly made out of necessity, with a bit of the GM pushing things along. I also can't feel all that happy about it when we're throwing rookies into a dumpster fire of a defense.

don't drop the puck!

It's good he is giving White a chance on the top 6... I hope he does not get subbed out based on the score and situation, and he is allowed a mistake or two to feel his oats. IMO they need that ... he does not have many games to grow into it which I think they need..

 

[Sensung]

Signal freezing for anyone else?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

That pass from white was lazar-esque

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I think if there’s one golden rule that I think people over think all the times. It’s that good players are better than bad players

 

[kenempa]

Jeez, I sense a Matthews hatty coming

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

How are 2 and 5 still a thing after all this time?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Yo Hoffman just turns a 3-1 against to a sens possession

Classic millennial, complaining about the rigors of a part-time job.

If you had a soul you'd want 4 goals minimum!
