I bet the Avs are pretty happy with the ongoing ****show in Ottawa. Welcome to Colorado, Jack Hughes...
dammmAchilles’ tendon. Out for 6 months. Looking good for the Avs.
Lemieux, lodge, green and holmCannot wait to see what Stone goes for.
Still don't understand why the Sens didn't give up the 4th pick this past draft. They had to know EK was out the door. Embrace the rebuild, move EK, MD, even MS and get Hughes and Lafrenierre (I know there are no guarantees).
Hughes or whomever the Avs get with the high pick is going to suck for us.
So Wheeler is ticked off and distracted this season, and then you have to fend off some crazy competition to sign Stone, maybe landing him for around $9.5-10M. Or, you don't land him, and you have Vesalainen or Dano as your #2RW.This is why I think the Jets should not have re-signed Wheeler on that long term deal and instead made a run at Stone.
Waivers offers much less value than the expansion draft...Could sens follow a Las Vegas rebuild? Look for under appreciated assets for cheap. Petan types.
No one is making it through waivers
I love the part where EK was almost tearful and then the onion rolls out of his Kleenex.Holy smokes this EK press conference is nuts. This is Ballard-level incompetence from Sens management.
Sorry I meant trade for assets and Perhaps nick one or two through waivers.Waivers offers much less value than the expansion draft...
The thing is that if Ottawa clears out all their veterans, then they follow the Edmonton strategy of pinning it all on kids for a decade.This is why I think the Jets should not have re-signed Wheeler on that long term deal and instead made a run at Stone.
Shades of Gretz promising Mess he wouldn't "cry".I love the part where EK was almost tearful and then the onion rolls out of his Kleenex.
Still this have been the worst rebuilds I've seen of the recent ones. Even the Habs are rebuilding better right now. There is some bad luck in there as well but they are going to lose Stone, Ceci and Duchene in due time. Their GM should be fired for taking the 4th alone over this years 1st.
They have some great pieces to build around Chlapik, Tkachuk, Brown, White, Chabot, Batherson and Norris aren't bad. They lack some real high end talent though. Can't see them pacing ahead of many in their division in the future and without that 2019 pick. They are in a hole.
