[Joeyjoejoe]

Good depth forward, looked decent in training camp.

Weird, I expected him to get 1.2M as this leaves us about 250k below the cap

I believe that's with 8 d and 12f. Add another forward at league minimum and we're over by a bit.

FYOUS starts this year right? Lol

 

[Liver King]

Under Cap Floor Strong

Never give up Dorion and Melnyk

Fight the good fight

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Good for him. And a good price for us.

 

[HSF]

Seems like a waste of a roster spot

I guess it helps us reach the cap floor

 

[OgieO]

So now we can reach the floor just by calling an AHL guy up and be F13... right?

We'll likely keep 23 on the roster, possibly Brannstrom if they want to keep 8 D.

Though with the guys we have in the bottom 6, may need to recycle through forwards throughout the start of the year

 

[slamigo]

I don't mind this at all. You know exactly what you get with Ennis. He'll be a good influence on the younger players as well.

 

[Carrie Underwood]

Maybe a late round pick to a playoff team if he plays well.

TSN confirmed we aren’t below so no pressure for them to sign Brady to reach the floor.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

At some point, we gotta do better than Ennis, MDZ and Holden etc we are going to be terrible again and I’m getting a little sick of it not saying break the bank but the veteran depth players need to be able to contribute more.

With all the injuries we can put guys on IR, have their cap hits still count and add a replacement player to the roster adding their cap hit. There's little fear we come short of the cap at this point

I think they will do better as they did in the past when it's clear they are in the playoffs & they become buyers at the TDL rathrer than sellers.

Right now or leading up to this point has been all about stocking the cupboards with young players & trying to see who fits where & they are still in that phase IMO. Once that is settled & the team begins to challenge for a playoff spot I think they look to add the missing pieces.

We'll just need to carry one more dead corpse AHLer

A 23/23 roster will allow us to reach the cap floor. I was getting nervous that we wouldn't achieve it in time but we did, fantastic job from everybody involved!

Edit : also thank you Colin for sacrificing your body for Eugene!

 

[DrEasy]

Yay, more opportunities for T.Ennis jokes from me!

[Ice-Tray]

Always liked this player so good. Love the hustle, and he’s making more plays this time around.

Another guy that wants to play for DJ.

 

[Matsens15]

We did it!!!!!!

Does Crookshank being injured in training camp count against the cap?

Not sure how long Bishop is out for.. both those guys could possibly be on the IR to start the year.

 

[Xspyrit]

We did it!!!!!!

Yes and we seriously take things for granted. I mean, 900 000$ is a lot of money. I'd never spend basically all I have and then some to watch Tyler Ennis don the Sens jersey for 82 games (not even guaranteed!)

Thank you Mr. Melnyk, we are too spoiled.

Luck has definitely been on our side

Even Bobby's buyout still helps

Should of just kept Balcers or Duke or both

Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Stutzle-Pinto-Duclair
Formenton-Paul-Brown
Balcers-White-Watson

Tkachuk, Duclair, Balcers IN
Tierney, Sanford, Ennis OUT

 

[BoardsofCanada]

The only nit pick I have with your line up is I prefer Ennis to Balcers. But otherwise that's a pretty good looking forward group.

For 900 K$, easy to afford and fit. There's always an injury or two anyway, so you need 13 forwards

Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Stutzle-Pinto-Duclair
Formenton-Paul-Brown
Balcers-White-Ennis
Watson

All these lines are pretty good 2-way lines except the Pinto line but you manage their shifts, shelter them if you want. You can match up the 1st and 3rd line against almost anybody
