B-Sens Belleville 2017-2018 Season

[Xspyrit]

I still find it odd that we give up a 3rd to take a relatively inexpensive player like Hammond .. who has been up at least a couple times with Colorado and that remains taking up space on the original teams AHL affiliate and we can't get more than a 3rd for Cole who is a serviceable defenceman that can slide into most teams bottom pair immediately.

It’s unfortunately the mantra of the current Ottawa Senators. We sacrifice assets or better returns on trades just to save money... The Zibanejad trade, the Hemsky trade, both Phaneuf trades, Hammond in this trade, the Brassard trade (having Vegas retaining for us), etc. It sucks but according to the owner and the way we operate, we are supposedly « poor »

Note : Hammond has been called up to the Avs a few times in case they had another injury.

That still makes him have value .. if he's called up in case of injury or as a backup .. that has a value.. vs paying someone to take him. IMO Dorion is too free with his picks and its hard to get picks from the other GMs when we are trading to them

Money has more value in this world though. 1.25 M$ is still a lot of money

Maybe a 4th or 5th should have been enough but looking at Dorion trades, I just don’t know anymore

IIRC, we saved the same kind of money on Hemsky and gave up a 5th a few years ago

The 2 cellar dwellers of the entire league in a mid week game...... Both teams have been out of playoff contention for a long time......

Far from an important game, with little meaning in the league.......

I follow 3 teams Ottawa, Belleville, and Binghamton, has been a long season..... I will watch the game tonite, because it is what I do.....

As KK would say it is what it is......

Let's Go Sens

They have had the line Paul-White-Sexton together for a couple of games and it is producing. Hope that stays. With O'B up.. White and Chlapik are going to get leaned on even more. They should have sent Burrows down ( I think the message would be louder)

It must be very difficult for PD being handcuffed by the owner & I'm no fan of the GM. I'm quite sure that every other GM knows he has to shed salary & doesn't have the option to bury it & they take advantage of it. What can he do if the owner insists he operate this way, he has no choice but to give up some assets to make these deals. It's a sad state of affairs in the nation's capital with this guy as owner at this time & I think the owner cares a lot more about actual salaries/money than about late rd draft picks.

Back to the "Hell on earth" farm team.

You know what would make sense to me would be if Ottawa builds the arena downtown & the Sens move into it, than the Belleville Sens should move into the vacated Kanata arena. Than Melnyk should put a ECHL affiliate into the Belleville arena & all three would be much closer to Ottawa & reduce costs. Or put a ECHL team in the East end so every part of the city gets a little piece of the Sens. haha

Probably a multi year commitment in Belleville but I do not know for sure... the concept is good

"Sens Of Anarchy":

I think it is an eight (8) yr deal, but that comes from my memory so could be wrong.....

Not sure if they make a big enough tarp to black out all those seats that would otherwise be empty.

The Sens have an 8 year commitment to Belleville, but with all things I am sure there is a way out of it if needed. The Rumours around here are that if the B-Sens relocate to Kanata as you suggest the doors on the Yardmen wouldn't even click shut before an OHL team was backing the trucks up to them. Some even suggest it would be the 67's, but I would think it would be Hamilton coming back as the bulls again with Crawford and the Subbans paying the tab. wishful thinking maybe

Coach KK should get the sack in the summer.

1st Period-1, Binghamton, Lappin 19 (MacDonald), 13:34. Penalties-Baddock Bng (hooking), 15:45.

Blunden can't contain MacDonald and the puck at the point, he gets it to Lappin who finishes.......

Binghamton had the better of the play, Sens would come on a bit, but could not sustain anything, sounds like a team I know~~~!!!!!!

 

[starling]

Belleville is now officially the worst team in the league.

In 2011 when the Sens bottomed out, at least there was a ray of light in Bingo winning the Calder Cup...
Now it's a race to the bottom.
Good job Lee, Dorion and company

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Our pro scouts are garbage, at least our amateur scouts are doing a fairly decent good job despite a lot of shortcomings for them.

The pro scouts can't identify any pro players in the AHL or NHL level in a consistent basis, we are always overpaying for garbage players in both leagues, and that's on the pro scouts, the GM and definitely the gym team teacher that we call our Assistant GM.

Everyone deserves a 2 year contract extension! Because rewarding futility is the Ottawa Senators way under Dorion.

Seems like most of the AHL deals are made by the gym teacher. Having a gym teacher oversee everything in Belleville is one of the major reasons its a disaster.
