They locked it down pretty good. Kept some offensive pressure going against an awful uninspired LA teamMissed the third. How did they play?

Obviously they don’t sit around and discuss it. They are professionals and are focused on the games.No player, or coach gives to flying fox farts about a draft pick that has been traded away.
They could care less who Colorado selects in the draft, it's not on their minds, or enters their mind for any reason.
If anyone thinks the players and coach sit around in pre game talks and say we have to win to decrease the odds for another teams draft lottery pick is ridiculous.
With our luck, we could go on a run, finish one point out of a playoff spot, and our pick would still win the draft lottery.
A Nilscinnamon and raisin bagel run!You mean like a hamburglur run! I’ll buckle up for that!
Obviously they don’t sit around and discuss it. They are professionals and are focused on the games.
But to say it’s not on their minds I don’t believe. The team is in the basement competing to not be dead last without their 1st round pick. The players know what’s up, they aren’t dumb.
You realize players don’t always speak their minds and give honest responses in interviews, right?Sorry, I don't agree.
I've heard enough NHLers interviewed over the years, to know that they don't even think about their own teams' draft position, never mind another teams drafting position.
The players are focus on the here and now, and their own careers above anything else.
Can anyone truly say they've heard any player on any team talk about how concerned they are about another teams draft pick position.
This obsession with where Colorado is going to select, with their lottery pick is only in the domain of the fans, and in the Media .......... which you notice they never ask the Sens players about this.
If that pick is traded to SJS or an Atlantic division team at the TdL for any reason in any way ,shape or form.I don't know so many people are fixated on Colorado's pick, they received in return for the MD trade.
That pick is not going to affect the Senators going forward, in anyway.
I equate it to obsessing over an ex girlfriend, that you could have married, but for whatever reason that opportunity did not happen.
I suppose if their pick is so much on your mind, you could just become an Avalanche fan.
Yes in hindsight the trade is not what it appeared to be when it happened, as no one in the Senators organization ever thought they's finish 30th last year, and force a huge decision as to how to proceed forward, which ended up with entering a re-build.
I guess they could have decided it was more import to not give the Avalanche better odds at this years lottery, and put the rebuild on hold, for one year, and then trade EK and whomever, at this years TDL, after getting as many points as possible as they'd not be able to keep all their impending UFAs, and doing this even though they may have been a playoff team this season........ all in order to keep the Avalanche from having a lottery pick.
sorry for the rant ....... rant over.

Agreed!I am not fixated on the pick, but I am definitely rooting for Colorado to get the first overall with our pick just to embarrass management here.
I'm the opposite. I am absolutely 100 f***ing % fixated on that pick. I can't let it go and will not let it go. We will hear about it for the next 15 years. If they pick Hughes or Kakko it would be an unmitigated disaster.I am not fixated on the pick, but I am definitely rooting for Colorado to get the first overall with our pick just to embarrass management here.
It will forever be what Dorion is remembered for if that happens.I'm the opposite. I am absolutely 100 ****ing % fixated on that pick. I can't let it go and will not let it go. We will hear about it for the next 15 years. If they pick Hughes or Kakko it would be an unmitigated disaster.

If we lose Stone, Duchene & Dzingel like it looks now, we will have lost our 5 best players in under one calendar year and none of them were even 30 years old.Hughes will still be in the NHL in 15 years. We’ll be hearing about this for all time.
To think we lost Turris, Duchene, Hughes all in less then 100 games (not to mention all the rest) - it’ll be considered one the worst asset management move in NHL history

Stone

That's an insane amount of talent sent packing, especially if we end up adding Hughes to that list.
Good call. Just didn't fit in my under one year context.Throw in Zibby to that mix
Of course he knows that. That's why he dismissed what Turris said about management.You realize players don’t always speak their minds and give honest responses in interviews, right?

Ottawa only plays Colorado twice per yr & given the fact they play out west we rarely hear about them. People worry over nothing, we should be more concerned about our own team & not what some other team may or may not do. We're on a two game win streak, who could have predicted that?I'm the opposite.
