Let's Win It All
Unless they are absolutely unreal in camp, I don't think Brown and Brannstrom start the year in Ottawa.
Music to my ears. Let them get in at least 30-50 games in the Ahl.

Dont you think, that Jaros could be used also on PP?

Christian Jaros might be some things, but an offensive defenceman is not one of them.

I think the Brown will have to be very good but not “unreal”. He is D+4, was drafted about 5 min behind PoolParty, and if he shows he is ready to learn/develop in the NHL I think he sticks.
Injuries aside, I can’t think of a top prospect the Senators have been more cautious with. Every player taken ahead of Brown has close to a full season in the NHL already.
I think that the team that starts the season will be much different than the team that ends the season, I expect that Ottawa could trade as many as 10 players over the course of the season & leading up to the trade deadline. I have bolded those players I think should get traded next season & in italic those players who are also possible trade candidates.
2019 - 2020 Ottawa Senators Opening Season Roster:
Duclair - Anisimov - Ryan
Tkachuk - White - Batherson
Ennis - Tierny - Brown
Paul - Pageau - Rodewald/Boedker
Chabot - Zaitsev
Wolanin - DeMello
Boroweicki - Hainsey/Jaros
Anderson - Nilsson/Hogberg
2019 - 2020 Belleville Senators Opening Season Roster:
Balcers - Brown - Veronneau
Abramov - Chlapik - Davidsson
Formenton - Norris - Szarz (UFA)
Kelly - Kastellic - Sturtz
Klimchuk - Beaudin - Carcone/Labate
Bransstrom - Goloubef (UFA)
Lajoie - Ebert
Englund - Dougherty
Murray - Gendron
Hogberg - Gustavsson
Daccord - Dubeau
The list of ufas puta a smile on my face. Outside of Pageau and demelo. But those two can be traded or kept around without much to complain about.Leading into 20/21 is going to be an interesting year for the Sens. Not much chance Dorion/Melnyk screw the pooch on this.

Should start by signing White (and Chabot if they can) this year
I like this lineup. I could stand to see Logan Brown in to start and Balcers out.

He's NHL ready and better than Boedker. Play him. I think we can isolate each rookie pretty well with some vets (7/36 are basicaly vets on this team at this point) at least for the first couple months. 4 lines should all get similar ice time, with that 1st line hopefully playing the most.Put Boedker in Balcers spot and send Balcers to the AHL. Don't want him rushed.
He's 22 years old, can you really call that rushed?Put Boedker in Balcers spot and send Balcers to the AHL. Don't want him rushed.
