The team this year could win the cup.
Outside of that moving forward we are one elite player from being serious cup contenders and 2 elite players from becoming cup favourites.
I know that seems harder said than done but in my mind we already have one coming.
Chabot is going to be special. He is also slotted in the best possible situation where he can thrive under Karlssons wing. Gonchar for EK was a great thing. Hes going to be even better for Chabot. What a better player to learn under than by seeint Karlsson out there night in and night out setting the example. Chabot is going to have soo much less pressure too. I know, don't count your chickens but yeah pretty much count your chickens. Chabot is going to become the 2nd best defenceman this team has ever had. Unless he is traded for an elite Centre.
If we can just get either Colin White or Logan Brown or someone else in a trade to really pan out things really going to be looking ridiculous. Honestly the Chabot factor may be enough without any additinal forwards.
Also,
This comming out Party in the Media and across the league as absurd as it is that people are calling a coming out party because Karlsson has been this good for years, is really going to make Ottawa and attractive place for players to come. While stupid, its only going to help.
I would not be shocked if an elite player or two came to Ottawa just because they want to play with Erik Karlsson.
In the hockey world Karlsson is Crosby, Karlsson is McDavid.
Oh and forget all the haters about the attendance. Yes, its embarrasing but shame on the media sscrutanizing things just to drive site visits. The real story is less sexy but very few broadcasters and Networks have the gumption to tell the truth. This city has AMAZING fans. Our crew may not be the biggest and we may have some challenges with the Arena location and virtually no public transportation but this city cares about the team.
A word for advice to Melnyk. Replace the seat covers man. Those seats make the arena look so dated. Make the place atleast look nice and put some effort. People have to make so much of a bigger effort in Ottawa just to get to a game..more so than 28 other arenas in the league
Things have been hard the last couple of years yet we have still made the playoffs more than not. Guy Boucher is amazing. He's the Jacques Martin of our dreams where Jacques is cool and has the character, passion and poise behind the bench to win.
Alfie and Spezza were so crucial to Karlsson. He got to play and learn from clutch legends who never cracked under pressure.
Good things are going to happen.
