Confirmed with Link: Pierre Dorion Scheduled To Speak (11am, Sept. 23rd)

[Micklebot]

Really Dorion? Anderson was our MVP for the ECF run and not Karlsson who legitimately got conn smyth votes despite being eliminated in the ecf?

 

[Senscore]

Euro scouts have been attending games.

Who cares. Shows respect to Anderson which is well deserved

 

[Senscore]

Draft board "pretty much finalized."

Took advantage of time by interviewing some players for up to several hours.

Who cares. Shows respect to Anderson which is well deserved

Anderson's Ottawa career has more than enough highlights and moments worth remembering without outright making them up.

 

[Fandlauer]

Free agents: we're going to look internally.

Shocker!

 

[Taluss]

Good move not offering Anderson a contract. Appreciate all he’s done for the team though

 

[Spartachat]

Will be announcing that he has Traded the Owner.

It would be a sad day for half of the Sens board. Probably they would be so sad, they would disappear from the board forever.

 

[BondraTime]

Surprised there was so much pushback here saying that our draft board was essentially done and rewatching video for the 4th time was a fruitless act, that seems to be the case.

 

[Senscore]

Re: free agency

Will look internally to reinforce lineup but if there's a good fit it will be pursued. More meetings to come later.

Won't stray from the plan.

 

[GCK]

Confirmed we won’t be spending money in FA market.

 

[GCK]

Sogaard staying in Junior.

 

[Senscore]

Re: goalie prospects

We have depth and quality. Impressed with Daccord. Gustavsson has high upside. Mandolese has improved. Soogaard is a quality prospect.

 

[Taluss]

Not spending money? *Pretends to be absolutely shocked* Nooooo way

 

[Senscore]

We will be prepared for expansion draft

 

[Fandlauer]

Confirmed we won’t be spending money in FA market.

I commend him for saying it here actually. Gets rid of any hope, no matter how I'll placed, that we will actually do something in free agency. At least I won't have to watch this year.

 

[Micklebot]

Who cares. Shows respect to Anderson which is well deserved

He showed lots of appropriate respect, that last bit imo made the rest feel a bit less genuine imo. Not a big deal or anything, but more fodder for the "PR" Dorion nickname.

 

[Senscore]

Goal is to have a "highly competitive team next year."

 

[NyQuil]

Goal is to have a "highly competitive team next year."

 

[Micklebot]

Goal is to have a "highly competitive team next year."

Missed the context here, was in in reference to the standings, or players competing for roster spots?

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Damn I'm gonna miss Andy, he was great for us. When he was on, that guy was unbeatable. But this is the right decision.

 

[JimmySpaetzle]

I love how Bruce is asking questions as if he's not the Sens mouthpiece anyways

 

[GCK]

Goal is to have a "highly competitive team next year."

Yup. We will be competitive in all our losses.

 

[Senscore]

There will be a lot of considerations re: planning a development camp.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]
