Do you guys see Colin White as a center or a winger going forward? It looks like DJ is trying him and Logan out on the wing and I don't know how I feel about it.
I guess if Norris keeps developing he could ideally play 2C, but I thought White was supposed to develop into a defensively responsible center that can chip in 40-50pts

Both Colin White and Logan Brown will have to improve their performance to become long term NHL players at any position. Neither has proven they will be at this time but I hope they will. Both seem to lack high end speed which might indicate “wing” being more likely but it is early days.
Chabot left practice early. Hopefully nothing too serious... He's been playing a lot of hockey
Definite MaybeHe got hit in the foot blocking a shot the other night, didn't he? Maybe something to do with that?
I'm been musing in other threads about the Sens being able to ship out the FA's, while still leaving the core kids in Belleville for a playoff run. This is more of an exercise for myself than anything else, but is interesting enough that it's worth sharing, imo.
OUT: Pageau, Namestnikov, Ennis, Hainsey, Demelo, Anderson?

It's stretched pretty thin, and doesn't really leave enough depth to cover for injuries, but I figure we'd be taking back a few bodies if we manage to deal those six guys out, which can cover off for the lack of depth. Essentially, if I were PD, my goal would be to leave the top-nine/top-four/top-two in Belleville untouched. Those are the future core players, and the ones that stand to gain the most from an extended Calder Cup run. The NHL roster is ugly, but that's by design in this case. Allows the team to play high intensity games without running the risk of racking up too many wins.
I might let Wolanin finish in Belleville , and bring one of the other guys up (like Murray)
