If we get Dahlin and keep EK I can see Dahlin having a monstrous year(relative to a rookie) under the insulation of the best D in the game.

With that being said, I truly want one of Svech or Dahlin.

Game breaking top line forward or franchise defender

But probabilities are against getting either one. Right now, in third last place, the Senators are guaranteed to get a top 6 pick with a good chance to pick 5th. Getting a higher pick in the 1st to 4th position is a dream.

Nah what they torpedoed was a playoff spot long ago. We should have expected something like this given some of the talent on the roster. Still a piss off though. We're the Kessel era Leafs.
Ya, most have said that there is too much talent on this team to truly be the worst, so it isn't unexpected. Just a little annoying as the prophecy fulfills itself.

I've posted this in some of the bottom 5 Canadian team thread. Mainly trying to grasp what each fanbase is looking toward in the upcoming draft if their team doesn't get the top OA selection.

Let's assume OTT receives the #5/6 pick and the following are gone.

Dahlin
Svech
Zadina
Boqvist

#5 OTT selects:

Dahlin
Svech
Zadina
Boqvist
Wahlstrom

#6 OTT selects:

There is no way we can out tank a Boeserless nucks. Saw most of the Kings game and just wow that is an awful team. Haven't seen them look this bad since the Sedin era started. A few injuries has turned them into a horror show.

Let’s just hope we don’t catch the Habs.

They should make Marion Gaborik the Goalie and Anderson a forward. That would help the tank. Or they could even make Cody Ceci our number one centre and put Burrows as number one D man.

How about getting Justin Bieber to buy the Senators?

Melnyk keeps saying he's not selling, and until that changes, I'm going with that.
At what point does this franchise start becoming a poisoned chalice ,for him...The fans no longer trust him and it seems to be unwilling to buy into what he is selling.Him selling the team, may become an option he will have no choice but to look into...The league has already stated the team wont be moved period....
