Sens Shot Predicting the Opening Day Lineup

[Erik Alfredsson]

I'm sure he will get a chance with a team that knows how to deploy players

I'm just curious, have any Senators prospects within the past 10 years actually went on to do better things after not being able to crack the roster in Ottawa?

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Logan Brown will be a solid 4th line centre for you guys for years ... issue is you have anisimov and both are same types ... last year of anisimov contract and brown takes his spot next year ... no biggie .. don't sweat it

Sorenson, Grant, Driedger are the only guys off the top of my head in the past few years

 

[SENSational]

Typical Sens management...having some random scrubs in the taxi squad over Brown or Brannstrom? Either way, Dorion is a horrible GM for wasting so much time and resources on these players if they're not even capable of making the NHL over some goons.

Stefan Noesen? The list isn't very long

Context matters. We have a ton of prospects right now after basically Only drafting and trading our best players for for the past half decade.

 

[cudi]

Have you heard of Mika Zibanejad?

He...cracked our roster tho. Doesnt fit the question

Again lmao

Lmao well when we traded him there were a lot of “clearly not good enough to play on this team. Brassard is big game brass”

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

Silfverberg

Silfverberg played a full season with Ottawa before he was traded.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Again lmao

Really? Did this just happen?

 

[HSF]

keep Brown in the ahl and see if he gets called up later

 

[swiftwin]

Have you heard of Mika Zibanejad?

Yeah, he played 281 games for us. I'd say that counts as "cracking the roster".

I guess Dreidger and Sorenson are the best examples then. Dunno if people would consider Lehner. We obviously played him but decided to go with another goalie over him.

Thats all i can really think of myself as well. Been lots of cups of coffee ala Shane Prince, Buddy Robinson etc.

I would hope so.

Could happen as early as this season too.

All it takes is someone to falter, or get injured, and boom, Brown is on the roster.

Yeah Chlapik alone almost outscored the entire opening night lineup

Exactly. One team is far far far more motivated than the other. It's good to see that there's some fight and some competition within the roster. The main guys should know that these guys are nipping at their heels.

Good thing we brought all these veterans in to show the kids how to play and give a good effort.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I was absolutely confused why we never signed Sorensen. Everyone knew he was a project and all and we kept Culek over him. I saw him play in Sweden and his skill was realll evident; I was just confused as hell. Also, man, are goalies ever hard to freaking predict. I remember watching him play in pre-season to start off 2016 season I believe and his fundamental game was just spectacular. He was steady and I think he stole a couple pre-season games. I though this guy for SURE diamond in the rough. Then he came back and ****ed the bed, though our bingo team was terrible, and he goes else where and 3-4 years later and this guy carved out a hell of a short stint in the NHL.

Freaking goalies.

No, he’s confusing the game from a few nights ago
