Do we get a participation medal? Ooohh boyThe next step is to focus on not looking at the scoreboard or standings. Everyone is a winner.

If you just focus on the 20 guys on the ice and the coach, it’s not so grim
Considering we sold Hoffman, Dzingle, Duchene, Stone and Karlsson the returns as a whole are brutal. Three of those guys are some of the best in the world at their respective positions.

I mean great on you for being optimistic, but realistically if you focus on the 20 guys on the ice and the coaching staff, it's extremely grim actually.
I think you should give the players and coaches a chance. It’ll be an ‘Us versus the world’ mentality and that can mean a lot in hockey.
Let’s give the team a chance. I expect Chabot and Tkachuk to be All Stars this year and maybe the best D and LW in hockey. Want to see those two players in action before I write the team off.
I guess when you think Tkachuk is going to put up 100 points this optimistic view makes sense... Best LW in hockey...
Johnny Gaudreau Stats, Profile, Bio, Analysis and More | Calgary Flames | The Sports Forecaster
Brad Marchand Stats, Profile, Bio, Analysis and More | Boston Bruins | The Sports Forecaster
Alex Ovechkin Stats, Profile, Bio, Analysis and More | Washington Capitals | The Sports Forecaster
Etc
And if Chabot is going to become the best D in hockey... I hope the Sens can afford the 7/84 (45 ish in signing bonus over the next 3 years) contract he’s going to demand a year from now because it sounds like his camp has no interest in an extension at the moment... he knows a big money offer sheet is coming 11 months from now
Every GM in the NHL would take Tkachuk over Gaudreau, that’s not even a debate. Id take him over Ovechkin. He’s equal with Marchand, and this year he’ll surpass him
What in the world?
Nevermind.
Who exactly is going to feed Brady the puck? We have no top 6 centres.
Tkachuk will have had an unreal year if he hits 30/30. No chance he hits 40 let alone 50 goals.
Are you sure? I am pretty sure a large number of people, analysts included, thought he would be and that he was the most NHL ready prospect of his draft year.Okay, we’ll see. Nobody thought he should even be in the NHL last year and everybody thought he was just a plugger with no finish. I like what I see and 40 is a realistic goal for him.

I like is reply about the answer of Aimee Deziel : a lot of new and exciting things. With all the rumor about ownership change or partnership in early september this year . Melnyk not at the draft. Melnyk in the office of nhl at New-York. The helicopter at the ctc and the reply of Dorion about a extension for White just before the camp. I m pretty sure is coming.
" I think you’d agree with me, spending to the cap right now would do us no good." Or, we could you know, use the cap as a tool to take back bad contracts in exchange for assets that can be used to help the rebuild. Imagine taking one of Lucic/Neal/Eriksson and getting a first round pick and a prospect?
"The next time we talk about (insert players name here), I hope it will be to announce an extension"
(6 months later...)
[Confirmed Trade With Link] Mark Stone to VGK
[Confirmed Trade With Link] Matt Duchene to NSH
So following that pattern....
[Confirmed Trade With Link] Thomas Chabot to COL for Samuel Girard, 2020 18th overall pick, 2021 2nd, 2021 3rd
I’m a huge Tkachuk fan but he’s not as good of a scorer as the guys you mentionedOkay, we’ll see. Nobody thought he should even be in the NHL last year and everybody thought he was just a plugger with no finish. I like what I see and 40 is a realistic goal for him.
If you focus on that, you see the worst group of players in the NHL and likely the most unqualified staff off coaches. How is that better?
Really hope so... would even give my left nut for this to happen (i already have kids)...
...but I doubt he sells anytime soon.
I would like for Ottawa not to get Colorado one step closer to a dynasty if possible... we already gave them an entire foundation with the Duchene trade lol
Tkachuk > Ovechkin and Chabot as good as Karlsson?
It's good to see our current situation hasn't beaten the homer out of some fans
I think that's what a Chabot trade would like like. Colorado was just the first team that came to mind who had the main piece I think we'd get in Girard.
That is a young inferior defender who is a #4 type with some upside. More importantly, on who is cost controlled and trapped on the Sens with term.
Then 3-4 other pieces. Mostly picks.
It will be anchored to the value of a 1st/1st/2nd/3rd because that's the biggest possible offer sheet the Sens can expect. Nobody will tender a four 1sts offer sheet because just like with the Aho situation, the expectation will be that the Sens can't match bonuses, so a bigger offer sheet isn't needed.
If the Sens CAN match an Aho offer sheet, a Chabot trade won't happen. The Sens will leave Chabot open to an offer sheet, and if he gets one, they will match as CAR did.
No chance the Sens leave Chabot open to an offer sheet of they can't match though. Better to deal him for a soft return at the draft than to risk losing him for a 1st/2nd/3rd in a worst case scenario.
