B-Sens Belleville 2018-2019 Season Part III

[God Says No]

Lot of work to be done on that Belleville blueline if the team is going to be competitive at all in this upcoming season. As of now I guess it's Lajoie, Ebert and maybe Englund?

Yeah, I bet Englund is a gonner. Most likely going back to SWE.

 

[Micklebot]

good move. Addresses an area of weakness

Edit: looks like a 1 way ..(maybe lol) I'd be ok with that

Huh... I wonder if this means anything wrt Ceci this offseason? Ebert seems to me like he'll be on the bottom pair (unless he proves otherwise) but they might think Jaros and DeMelo can handle the top 4 with Chabot and Brannstrom.

I've tried to put together some kind of a lineup for next season in Belleville, it's most likely they will be adding players leading up to the season opener, but have I missed anyone? Of course, there could be changes made at the NHL level before the start of the season that could affect Belleville's lineup & Belleville usually signs some guys themselves on AHL contracts. The RD position is the weakest in the org, not sure if they will re-sign any of their UFAs RDs for Belleville, most likely will sign some new players to replace some of the UFAs. IMO Balcers, Batherson, Paul & Wolanin graduate to Ottawa for next yr.

2019 - 2020 Belleville Senators:

Norris - Brown - Davidsson
Formenton - Chlapik - Sturtz
Abramov - Luchuk - Veronneau
Klimchuk - Kelly - Rodewald/Beaudin

Brannstrom - Elliott ???
Lajoie - Goloubef ???
Englund - Burgdoerfer ???

Hogberg - Gustavsson/Daccord

The RD is bad I know. But you can call me crazy, but I really like that team if they can patch that hole up.

Its deep with some intriguing prospects at all positions.

Brannstrom was the cause of Dorion's proudest moment .. regardless of the extremely high cost... He will be in the bigs

Don't you think they will allow him to get a bit bigger, stronger & put on a little more muscle & weight? Who gets sent down if he will be in the bigs?

I think it might depend on what they want to do next season & whether they want to contend or pretend to contend while doing everything to garner the best draft spot possible.

I think he should earn a spot. I think he'll play on the right side.
I don't know who gets moved or sent down/waived or traded ... but I think Dorion will want to parade his shiny new toy asap.

Keeping him in the AHL helps the tank and helps keeps his salary a bit lower for a bit longer probably.

I know Dorion said he wants to push for the playoffs but:

- This is Canada
- Just finished in the bottom 3 two years in a row

He couldn't really not say it.

The Leafs told us there would be pain in rebuilding. If Dorion said the same thing .. I think it would have been better accepted. Yes he could really not say it. Now if he couldn't help himself from bubbling over with excitement , that's another story. Its almost like he feels he needs to BS everyone with the most positive take possible.

This town doesn't support a losing franchise the way Toronto has supported one for over 60 yrs. They have the population & corporate base & the money from that to make moves Ottawa can only dream of. The goal for every team every year is to win the cup but they also need to be somewhat realistic & this is where Dorion seems to always go over the top & over promising.

I doubt anyone in the Sens organization thinks this team will be a playoff team in the next two or 3 yrs, when they have just started this rebuild & are still transitioning from their old players to their new players. And then there is that whole thing about getting into the lottery next season & what that might take. However, with this team, with this GM & this owner who knows what goes through crazy people's minds.

I don't disagree but we aren't the target audience when he makes comments like that, he is saying that to the casuals.

AHL Free Agency 2019: Where Do All 31 AHL Teams Currently Stand? (Version 1.0)

 

[IamJust0ne]

Senators re-sign forward Morgan Klimchuk to a one-year, two-way contract

Solid re-signing, 4 goals in 8 games for us and has always produced well at the AHL level. Hope his shoulder has healed...we've had some terrible luck with shoulder injuries in Belleville the last year

 

[Icelevel]

Oh good I’m glad klimchuk is back for more evaluation. Or just Belleville help
