Pre-Game Talk: SENS Phaneuf eats Chicken WINGS edition- Wed 7:00pm on SportsNet

I know it's been a long time, but I always thought Phaneuf looked better in red than he did blue.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Wiercioch's value is practically zero right now. Can't imagine him getting moved unless part of a package.

Well, he's in the final year of his contract. Maybe he would be a decent (injury) insurance policy for a team looking to go on a long playoff run? Sounds like a good fit for a Chicago or LA.

I always thought he looked at his best like this

I don't think Wiercioch fits the style of either team since he isn't mobile and he doesn't have the physical attributes to play in a Western playoff series. A vet with more experience in the West would be more valuable to the teams you mentioned.

PW has been okay lately - not great, but not bad. He's been decent. Better than Wideman, who's just not very good. Too bad Boro or PW couldn't effectively play the RD role. That's our best 6.

[BonkTastic]

Oh my god, even in a 30-second clip of a pre-game practice he looks a hundred thousand billion times better than anyone else we've lined up in the #2 LD spot this year.


... Uh, do we actually have two competent, NHL-caliber defensive pairings? WHAT IS THIS?!?

 

[Icelevel]

Didn't even get a shot off. Bust

His skating looks coffeyisk in practice compared to the slugs we have lined up on that side

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

He definitely has confidence moving the puck, and does it with authority. That's definitely something we need.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Greening and Cowen playing against the Oilers, definitely going to watch for the lulz.

 

[Fandlauer]

Greening can barely play in the AHL

Leafs are really committed to this tank eh.

The way the Oilers are going I expect a Greening hat trick.

I mean they just got whooped, but after we got whooped to them we started to do some whoppin as well

I wouldn't say to competent d pairings YET. Cecilia had been bad for 2 years now. If he responds well to having phaneuf then yes. 2 competent d pairing

 

[Six Assets]

I want to see a Phaneuf-Karlsson pairing at one point

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Looks weird watching him in Sens uni! Mind you, the colors do look better on him

 

[OttawaSenators11]

I am sure we'll see it at one point.

Really? Didn't take long to find our new whipping boy, complete with a cheesy play on his name.

Hoping that was an autocorrect...

I think BM still has some assets that could be put together along with Wiercioch into a decent package, however, I'm just not sure what kind of a return we would get for it but I'm hoping for Ladd.

Methot & Karlsson are a competent pairing although most I think want two guys who can equally put up pts. We could have that with Phaneuf & Kalrsson but then very little behind that. I like the idea of spreading out the scoring & I think the Phaneuf & Ceci pairing will certainly help Ottawa have two decent pairings. I disagree with you on Ceci in that he has been better than the other three while at the same time still learning at a very young age. I think this yr has been his best yr yet & seems to be getting better. I really hope with Phaneuf on the other side that these two make a very good tandem & Phaneuf helps to bring out the best in Ceci.

And Boro & Wideman won't be bad either, let's not forget that this is Wideman's first yr in the NHL & he has been in & out of the lineup as was expected. I think he will get better with time as he did in Bingo as he becomes more comfortable in the lineup & used to what the coach is demanding of him. Obviously it can always be improved but I think we have a decent group of defencemen now that everyone has fallen into their appropriate place & will get better.

Is Dzingle still up? With Milan gone it will be interesting to see who wins that permanent LW spot between Prince, Puempel, Dzingle, and McCormick.

Uhhh... so what style of team would Wiercioch fit in with?

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Wiercioch appears to be the scratch.

Today keeps getting better and better.

I guess he might be interesting for a team looking to clear cap space for the off season. Other than that we're likely stuck with the bum.

Edler just fractured his fibula. He'll be out for a long time.

With the Nucks trying to also trade Hamhuis, you have to wonder if they'd be interested in a guy like Wiercioch.

I think Wiercioch has more value than we might think. Dmen go for good price and Wiercicoch has good advanced stats and has shown to be a guy hat can play top 4 minutes given the right circumstances.

I could see a team taking a flyer, he's also a RFA. I think we can get a 2nd.
