Speculation: 2013 Offseason: UFAs, Trades, What's Next? | Part VI

wings closing in on weiss according to steve loyd.

The wings pretty much sign a second line.

 

[Fandlauer]

I'm pretty sure Murray is done. if anything he would pick up another 3rd or 4th liner or 5-6 Dman. Sorry to say it, pains me too, but we know that's the truth.

I agree. While other teams are loading up in our division. I don't like how next year is looking.

pretty sure Ottawa is done for the day, I wouldn't mind getting Penner and/or Brunner but only is they are cheap. Gonna be another year of letting the kids play.

 

[YNWA14]

Will post this again here.

Getting Mac is better than getting Clarkson for sure...and on a much better contract.

Also even if this is our only move this year we should be a better team than last year.

Additions: Spezza, MacArthur, Cowen, Karlsson and a healthy Michalek
Subtractions: Alfredsson, Latendresse, Gonchar, Benoit

We should be better. If we make any more signings it's gravy. Also MacArthur has produced at pretty much the same clip as Alfredsson over the last 3 years with less ice-time and worse line-mates.

Just some food for thought.

Letting the kids play will not work next season like it did last season. With alfie gone, who is going to lead them, Philips? We are in trouble next season if this is the only signing. I am also hoping that alfie leaving does not send a message to the team that they are incapable of winning.

Filppula?

I have a hard time believing the Sens aren't going to lose a ton of season ticket holders if MacArthur is the only signing the do this offseason.

That will lose the team even more money.

Apparently there already is a lot of season ticket holders cancelling.

i agree, I mentioned in previous posts that this year will finally be the year the Sens take a step back. Our division just got a whole lot tougher.

I don't understand cancelling your season tickets because Alfie left. Would you have done that if he retired?

 

[Fandlauer]

Well I know of at least 1.

Disgusted the way this went down.

They're angry he bailed on the franchise... or that the franchise bailed on him.

Retiring is nowhere near as contentious as a player abandoning 'your' team or management abandoning 'your' favorite player.

sign Iggy help replace Aflies leadership..

Understandable but I still don't agree with it. I'm a fan of both Alfie and the Sens. Will continue to support both.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

It's not that he left, but how he left.

Instead of making intentions clear and leaving with dignity, we were all left at the altar with no explanation.

 

[SixthSens]

5.25/yr for Clarkson.

Thank you Murray for missing that boat.

 

[Senateurs]

sign Iggy help replace Aflies leadership..

Geez, I forgot about him.

That would probably be the best move Ottawa could do.

 

[HSF]

Time to trade. Please no old guys like iggy

Get me a Ryan Kane or perron

 

[Emerica]

NHL on TSN just pouring salt on the wound now.

You're disgusted because Alfie chose to leave??

 

[18Hossa]

Lmao clarkson gets a limited ntc and nmc

 

[Flip_4]

It's not that he left, but how he left.

Instead of making intentions clear and leaving with dignity, we were all left at the altar with no explanation.

But why cancel your season tickets because of the way Alfie left? I'm not cancelling mine and it would take a LOT more than this to make me cancel.

 

[Proust*]

As bad as the signing is, the Leafs will have a significantly better forward corps than us next season.

 

[Benjamin]

That Clarkson contract makes me a feel a little better.

SNET no better.
