Pre-Game Talk: SNES in the Buff, Thurs.

[Alex1234]

I don't care about the line numbers... I just think those 3 would be good together. If Kelly is moving up .. I think he compliments Greig and Tkachuk better.
I am not saying he's a 1st line winger. I have also been calling for a bigger shake up in the lines which we are seeing. Its too bad we couldn't have Norris centering the 3rd line.

Someone will replace Norris on January 21st

The PP is going to look lost tonight when they try to find Norris in his spot and see that he's not there.

Or it might force us to try something new

Two extremes haha

 

[helloconga]

they really need to find some positives tonight. Tim Stuckzle needs to do something. Go Sens.

I'd have replaced Norris with Chychrun there a few games ago. He needs it perfect and he isn't helping on recoveries or possession

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Is this a shot fired at Stü or a carrot for Kelly's recent play, geez... From 4th line to playing on the top centers wing

We need a lot more jam in the top 6 and Stü just isn't giving us any right meow so give him a winger who jams and who is a bit hot.

Stü is trying to finesse his way through this and it isn't going to work at the NHL.

Maybe the PP starts clicking without Norris
Did pretty well last season

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I think Joseph playing C is going to be the interesting. Not ideal. Faceoffs is a small part of that.. Its a big change with the reads and to think that position vs being an energy winger. No Norris . No Chartier. No cap space options are limited. At least we know he can get up and down the ice.

Who's going to fill DeBrincat's role as a left shot goal scorer from last year? Kubalik?

Someone mentioned Chychrun but I don't know

Right shot, you mean.

Chyc would be a good left-shot, but that was as a Norris replacement.

Don't remind me. Another great PD over a barrel deal!

 

[Micklebot]

Ya my bad, maybe when Pinto returns?

 

[Flamingo]

Ya my bad, maybe when Pinto returns?

Oh yeah, and he had a lethal wrister for a while. Like, a scoring rate above 10%.

 

[scout20]

I can't wait to watch the Tkachuk-Greig-Giroux line tonight!

 

[chipsens]

I would go Tkachuk Greig Kelly ; Giroux - Stu- Bath

Throw Brann up on forward again

Zero cap space

It happened. Greig #1 Centre

 

[Back in Black]

3 Hours to gO

 

[Cosmix]

Ya, me too. Its weird watching games now hoping they win on one hand, yet knowing the draft pick is the best thing for them long term.

Unfortunately, I have gotten used to this dual personality.

Stutzle is trying very hard to get things done. Unfortunately he is trying to do it by himself. He needs some guidance from his coaches. There is no way I would trade him; it would be a desperate and foolish move to do so at this time. He just needs more experience and guidance during his youth.

Many expect 'someone' (aka Pinto) to sign an NHL minimum pay contract (750K?) on his return. He may well do that to avoid confrontation and earn his way back into peoples' good books. Then again, he may not figuring he served his 'sentence'. I'm guessing he will sign for minimum but he and his agent are going to make it crystal clear this is a one-time discount and he fully expects full market value and term going forward.

Couple related questions...
(1) Would the Sens only be hit with half the league minimum ($375K) given the player is only under contract for half season?
(2) Do the Sens not have to move somebody else out/down to make room? They are right up against the CAP at present.

I hope it works out well, similar to the way Stutzle performed so well at center when he was shifted there.

[OmniSens]

Is that even possible at this point?

And then, it was.
