Confirmed with Link: Sens re-sign Prince

[Sens92]

I like Prince, but don't think he'll ever be a 60+ guy. I see a ~40 point guy that is scrappy. A Clarke MaCarthur lite.

Yeah, the way the NHL is trending where we get a lot more scoring by committee I think that's a fair assessment. 40 points is realistic but the optimist in me also sees his potential to be a 50-60 pts player consistently with the NHL's increasing focus on speed.

 

[Boud]

I think he has a good chance to make Ottawa's team.

I'd have him over greening,Neil,Smith at this point.

The problem is that Greening and Neil aren't even on the roster right now and Smith is our only left handed C.

My guess is that Prince and Puempel will battle for the 4rth/3rd line LW and maybe both of them make the team if Lazar is sent down to start the season in Bingo. Robinson also deserves a shot.

Guess it depends on where he is played and who his line mates are. Give him a good centre , not named Smith, and he could get to the 40 points fairly nicely and move on from there. He's a goal scorer first, but he gets his assist as well. Wants to puck for the shot every time. A little like Hoffman in that regard I'd think.

Greening and Neil have one-way NHL contracts, so they are on the roster. I would prefer than to be traded or retire but that likely will not happen. The maximum number of roster players is 23, so spots are limited.

They are on the roster, what I meant is that they are not in the lineup. Sorry it wasn't clear enough. Both these guys are not playing on the team, atleast not regularly so even if you take Prince ahead of these guys, he still probably isn't on the lineup. Greening wasn't on the roster last season though, since he was waived and sent to Bingo.

 

[Knave]

Played well in his short appearance.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

I'm waiting for his sister to tweet something to confirm this.

I lol'ed.

Prince looked great in his short time up here. If he committed himself this off season, I think he will crack the roster.

 

[starling]

Low AHL salary means he likely wouldn't pass through waivers, so Ottawa it is I guess?

How so? If someone claims him they will have to play him in NHL and pay NHL salary.

 

[Coco the Monkey*]

He'll make it through waivers. Everybody has a Prince in their system

You might be right, but Tim Murray is the wild card. If I were him, I'd claim him no question.

 

[topshelf15]

I like it ,if he proves himself to be a nhler we resign him .If not we just let him go

If so they would trade him to Buffalo before waiving him.

You can always count on one of these comments. Neil is extra fwd Smith plays in the middle. So you rather have Price in the press box over Neil or playing center over smith ?

Exactly Jackie ... and Neil has always been in the lineup unless he has been injured as he was last yr so I'm not sure what people mean when they say he is not in the lineup, he will be or should be instead of Chiasson. At least until they move Neil at the trade deadline.

They are on the roster, what I meant is that they are not in the lineup. Sorry it wasn't clear enough. Both these guys are not playing on the team, atleast not regularly so even if you take Prince ahead of these guys, he still probably isn't on the lineup. Greening wasn't on the roster last season though, since he was waived and sent to Bingo.

Neil has been in the lineup unless he is injured as he was last yr & he may not have been 100% healthy when he came back during the playoffs. We'll see this yr if he is a healthy scratch or not, my guess is this team will need his toughness in the lineup.

IMO the only new player who has a shot at making the Sens out of training camp is Chris Wideman. Both Puempel & Prince are waiver exempt so they can be sent to Bingo without going through waivers. Wideman on the other hand is not waiver exempt & could be taken off waivers, most likely by TM, so it's reasonable to assume that he could stay in Ottawa & they carry 8 defencemen again this yr. Wideman also has a few things going for him, he is a right shot which they need, he is a PMD which they need & he is a point producer which they also need.

While every team is sending players down to the AHL during the end of training camp & Wideman has a high salary to play in Bingo this yr, the familiarity with TM & the possibility of him taking Wideman off waivers is probably the one thing that keeps him in Ottawa. I guess there is always the possibility of some back room deal where TM does his uncle a solid & let's Wideman pass this one time.

I still think that Puempel & potentially Robinson are ahead of Prince because those are the two I hear more about potentially making the team but we'll see this yr when they start calling up players. I don't think Greening will get waived at least not at the beginning of the season but maybe later on closer to Christmas.

"Aragorn":




Shane Prince is subject to waivers now as this is his 4th yr pro.....

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

He'll make it through waivers. Everybody has a Prince in their system

No, they don't. Prince would be a top 5 prospect in most teams prospect pools

If so they would trade him to Buffalo before waiving him.

Why on earth would Tim Murray do that when he has first dibs on the waiver wire?

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Greening and Neil have one-way NHL contracts, so they are on the roster. I would prefer than to be traded or retire but that likely will not happen. The maximum number of roster players is 23, so spots are limited.

Greening is a non Factor. He'll be sent to Binghamton if others out play him which is highly likely. He will probably be outplayed by 4-5 AHL forwards in camp. He's already list his spot in this roster, and there's still a chance he'll be bought out if Murray isn't able to deal him.

 

[Coco the Monkey*]

No, they don't. Prince would be a top 5 prospect in most teams prospect pools

I don't think he's even a Top 5 in the Sens prospect pool, but if you are correct, it doesn't change the fact that every team has a guy like him in their pool. That would mean he is a Top 150 prospect...

Here's the gif I'll be going with when he scores:

Oh yeah, no gif, because he won't be in the NHL

6th in AHL (second best league in the world) scoring last year in his 21-22 year old season.

Youngest player in the top 10 scorers. Good 2-way game. Heralded by Luke Richardson for his strength. Has speed that few players do.

Nooo... not every team has a Shane Prince.

It's surprising that this even needs to be said. It's pretty common knowledge at this point how well Prince has performed in Binghamton, is it not? He was one of the best players in the league last year and played well in Ottawa when he was called up. There's a reason people are penciling him into the opening night line up.
