I am growing awfully tired of how this team is being allowed to skate on the main issue that has gotten it into trouble.
Get on Hockeydb.com. Review the Sens draft from as far back as 2004. Focus primarily on first and second rounds. Those are typically where your elite players come from...Yes, I know...Mark Stone...yes, terrific talent, but one guy. You have 6 forwards and 4 defense-men and a starting goalie to worry about. Where do the other 10 guys come from.. So, take a look at the Sens and see the misses. Way more than the hits.. So the team starts trying the trade route, giving up futures for short term relief. That buys them some time..Well, the bill came due..That is why a 30th and 31st finishes and the prediction of another 31st finish.
Go back and do a look, 2004 to 2014, 11 years. Erik Karleson and no one else. One guy....11 years...that should have meant 22 picks..Not only did they trade a ton of picks, but of the nearly 15 they had, 14 ended up complete failures or marginal players.
Now the team wants you to pay for their poor management. Has anyone with the Sens ever explained the Mat Pumpel, the Shane Prince, the stefan Noesen. All we get is, those players simply get included as throw in in trades, or late Friday Waivers and no one is called to explain. Those 3 were all part of the rebuild when the team jettisoned Fisher, et-all. Where are they? They should today be ~ 26 years old and at the core of this team.
