Not gonna lie, I lol'ed

Nillson is probably done now.

Hunh? Why?

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

You're the one who seems convinced Daccord is a much better goaltender than O'Connor, and this is based on what exactly?

Its kinda hard to compare them. D'Accord was drafted so he's always been a legit prospect.

D'Accord was by far his team's best player in college on a new Div 1 team with no other drafted players. He's the first player to sign a NHL contract from ASU.

O'Connor was playing for BU with many NHL prospects including Jack Eichel.

I think it's fair to say that D'Accord is ahead of him. D'Accord has a pretty great resume.

 

[Summer Rose]

Hope you guys like him. I think you will. He's great at handling the puck and was always a "big game" goalie for the Sun Devils. He had a slight lapse against Quinnipiac on Saturday in our (I'm an ASU alum and Coyotes fan) first ever appearance in the NCAA tournament and let in an early softie but he played lights out to keep us in the game. We got outshot 27-9 in the first two periods but he held down the fort and it was only 2-0. It was lucky that he did because we almost manged to tie the game in the third, but took a 5-minute major with 4 minutes left and lost 2-1. Joey Daccord was the only reason we were still in the game.

That's just one example I can think of about big games he's had for the Sun Devils. I'm both happy for him that he got an NHL contract and heartbroken to see him leave Arizona State early. I wish the best for him with you guys.

Maybe Joey can take Boro aside and show him some puck handling drills. #leadership

Well fortunately Daccord has never done this to my knowledge:



O'Connor was on a loaded team with Jack Eichel. In retrospect, that was probably a massive factor in his success that year.

You guys got a gem. Kid is all balls and brass. Very good positionally.

Onconnor had a habit of highlight reel saves too

[Do Make Say Think]

We signed him?!

Awesome

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Je suis d'accord. Glad we signed him.. 2 year ELC starts this season.. They must like him

 

[topshelf15]

Goalies are so hard to develop so more is better,good signing

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Wasn't he just as hyped as Daccord is before we snagged him up?

100%

O’Connor is now almost beer league level now. Poor guy

EDIT. looked up an old article

Former NHL goalie Phil Myre has been impressed with the six-foot-six O’Connor’s improved rebound control and positioning. But he still believes O’Conner he could use some seasoning in the minors because he has a history of needing some time to adjust to different levels.
"Obviously he’s more mature than a goalie coming out of junior," said Myre, the head U.S. scout for ISS Hockey. "But I think he’s going to have to test the waters in the minors and see what the pro game is all about."

Seems like that guy knew he was not a sure bet as we thought

... Uhh... having seen both of them play hockey?

What makes you convinced that Daccord is even remotely similar to O'Connor, other than the fact that they both played NCAA hockey?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I am very happy we signed this kid.

I have a really good feeling about him. I haven't seen much of any of his play so there's absolutely nothing tangible for me to go on....but there's just been something about this kid since he was drafted that felt like he was going to be a legit NHLer.

 

[Senscore]

The team is going to have to make some judgment calls regarding goaltending pretty soon. We are nearing our contract limit if not right at it. I hope they are prepared.

Daccord definitely seems like someone to hang onto at the moment, which is good news given Gustavssons struggles this year.

im pretty sure he is getting a game now to burn a year off the elc. That was the leverage he held as he could have been a free agent so we had to cave

 

[HSF]

Hogberg will be in the NHL next year probably as a backup to Andy. Then the year after get him as the starter if he plays well.

Nilsson is probably gone unless someone trades for Andy

I think he is gone by the TDL ,he has been a good player for us ...And I hope the management lets him go to a decent team

I do not think be needs a game to burn a year.

It is an 18-19 contract and be is way too old for it to be eligible for a slide. Signing the contract burns the year regardless.

Lebrun has said that if Fox signs with CAR, he burns a year regardless, and that if he plays 0 games, the year doesn't accrue toward the expansion eligibility. I'd imagine the same is true for Daccord. Meaning, the year will burn, but the Sens won't play him in any games.

I could be wrong, it's difficult to keep up with the CBA. We will find out soon enough anyways.

I'd assume they'll shelter Hogberg from the loosing as much as possible. I think, unless they can move him, it will be Condon and Andy to start then trade one and elevate Hogberg to NHL and Daccord to Belleville. Gustavsson stays in Belleville. Interesting to see where Mandeville slots in. I can not see where Nilsson fits into that group, unless Condon is moved at Draft.

Don't think they can really shelter Hogberg other than letting him be in the NHL as a backup and giving him easier matchups

Lets remember that Hogberg will be 25 this year

yeah the cba is confusing haha

i was just going based off of simmer who said this

"Sounds like the Sens will sign daccord. Give him a game, and eat a year on his two year entry level deal."

I agree. I think they let Nilsson walk at the end of the season & go with Andy & Hogberg next yr, at 25 yrs old it's Hogberg's time to shine. I think Condon stays buried in Belleville with Gustavsson next season on the last yr of his contract & they have a goalie with NHL experience to call up should they need to. IMO Daccord starts his yr in the ECHL & works his way up from there, as it should be. It must be part of the agreement to eat a yr of Daccord's contract otherwise it makes no sense from Ott's perspective.

I think it would be too difficult to move Andy's contract in the off season given his age & limited success over the last two yrs, but he could get moved at the deadline. On the other hand, if he is not moved at the deadline & depending on how Hogberg does, they could re-sign Anderson for another yr to help Hogberg if they see a possibility he could be the starter the following yr and/or to back him up. Of course, if Hogberg doesn't work out at all they could re-sign Anderson for another yr or two as a transition waiting for Gustavsson or Daccord to hopefully replace him. They may also look elsewhere for a starter but that is usually harder than it seems, teams usually keep goalies who look like starters unless they have two of them. Anyone know of a team with two starters on their team who might be available?
