For a guy that continuously trashes posters and posts on Twitter you sure seem obsessed with posting content from there..

This is the panic thread. Posting panicked Sens Twitter s not a crime.
This is the panic thread not the Make a Wish thread!

The worst thing about Twitter is that even if you don't have it in your browser history, have the app downloaded on your phone, or even an account, some people seem intent to make sure it's still in your life.
If some Sens twit person makes a funny gif, I'd rather just see the gif for a laugh. Don't care about their "commentary" otherwise.
We already know he's gonna be gift wrapped to an American team with a love note from Gary.
No need to set yourself up for disappointment!

Best one yet is still: Play like Weenies for Celebrini.
Thanks to some Texter into TSN1200 about 3 months ago.

Was there any panic this season?
Seems like we went straight from hopeful to totally dejected and skipped all that bothersome panic part.

Makes sense this knob feels that way, being Garrioch's trouser troll and all. Andlauer and Staios aren't giving Garrioch anything like he got with Melnyk and Dorion.

PHIL: "I am NOT a weenie!"
Great line from a good movie called "Fandango" from the 80s.

This is going to be a very difficult needle to thread. There's talent here for sure, but the roster isn't good enough and and there are a lot of obstacles for Staios to work through:
- almost complete lack of pick/prospect capital
- Korpisalo and Forsbeg almost 7M in wasted cap space in net
- Norris and his 8M contract completely underwater, with questions as to whether he'll ever be the place he was pre-injury
- Chabot hasn't played like an 8M player in years
- A decision needs to be made on Chychrun this offseason, and he hasn't played very well thus year
Staios has inherited a huge mess, and unless he does everything right this offseason, the team might be in a rebuild the rebuild situation

Agree . And you can add the relatively empty cupboards in the prospect pool which means draft capital has to be guarded to replenish that and we are down a 1st round pick in one of the next 3 drafts. Not much help coming to add.
He has pressure to hit on the picks he has as well.

Norris situation to me is the one that really complicates matters. Korpisalo is bad too, but more manageable. Either guy could be bought out, at a manageable cap hit, but Norris was supposed to be a big part of our future at center.
Chabot not playing like an 8 mil player, well every team has a guy that's overpaid by a mil or two. To me, that one is a non issue. Same with Chych, he's an asset we can move,
Lack of draft capital hurts though, Dorion throwing away 7oa, 12oa, 39oa, a 2024 2nd, a 2026 2nd, and a 2024 3rd for 1 year of DBC, 1 year of Chychrun, a late first, a b prospect, a 4th and whatever we get back for Chych set us back a lot.

It boggles my mind that what Pierre and company did over the years sort of went unnoticed and is now finally rearing its ugly head. This team is handcuffed by so much. We are in for a rough couple of years. Hope not, but as the posters above said, there are loads of untradeable contracts.

Well, it certainly didn't go unnoticed here. It's been called pretty much from day 1 by a lot of folks here.
General consensus here was pretty much always that PD was in over his head, while also working with an ownership situation that required perfection. A combination almost guaranteed to fail. It's actually incredible they came out of it in the shape they did 3 years ago, but now 3 years of failed attempts by PD to fast forward it has exhausted their options and added more bad money.
You can blame Dorion for the trades but the lack of funding into Pro and Amateur scouting and Players development didn't help either.
Beside Karlsson, Sanderson and Chabot who's the last defenseman that was develop by us?
Same question applies to goalies.

In the Dorion years? That Dark and Dreary period that went on forever Brannstrom, JBD, or before ? (I won't count Zub)
Before we had a few Chara ,Redden, Phillips, Volchenkov, Meszaros, Rachunek
