The Sens losing is all fine and well, but at the rate we're trending we're going to be right above them in the standings when all is said and done
"Dorion should have never made the trade for Duchene without having the draft pick being lottery protected. You should always lottery protect a 1st round draft pick. Dorion is an amateur. "
^This was an actual post over there^
OK here is the move the Sens need to at least attempt to do.
Dzingel to Colorado for their 1st this year (not ours back). And if Dzingel doesn't resign with them, we give them a 2nd or 3rd in 2020.
The key to all this is Dorion announcing to Sakic that if he doesn't do the deal, the Sens will be going balls to the wall the rest of the year to play vets and pass the 4 or 5 teams within a point of them right now. However, Sakic does the deal, it is a signal to the team to go on a youth movement, try out several Belleville guys, and inevitably hand the Avs the 1st or 2nd pick that will come from finishing dead last, from the Duchene deal.
This year Dzingel guarantees them a playoff spot, and a possible run, and also wipes out our chances of much success with a 30 goal scorer gone.
But this needs to happen fast; if it doesn't, if/when Duchene and/or Stone appear to be on the verge of trade for futures, there is far less leverage with the Avs, and Sakic probably just waits until we implode regardless.
Boucher not pulling the goalie with 10 seconds to go and down 2-3 with a faceoff outside their own blue line is a bit baffling. Andy seemed to think so too, judging by his confused look.
I like how that poster thinks that just because Dzingel is a 30 goal scorer on a pretty terrible club, he would be a 30 goal scorer on our club. I still think the Sens have better depth than us, but there is a reason why they're playing Dzingel enough ice time to be able to accomplish a 30 goal pace (and still lose).This is another actual poster over there:
Ottawa vets are already doing such a great job keeping them out of the 31st spot.

Wings won too so thats ok on a night like tonight. If we start winning our own games....nevermind.
We can't have it all i guess.
Where do i have to sign?Hughes + Kakko = all?
Hughes AND Kakko!The Sens losing is all fine and well, but at the rate we're trending we're going to be right above them in the standings when all is said and done
Landeskog would be proudCoyotes doing Odin's work tonight
Lol like they aren't already trying to not finish last. Completely delusional.This is another actual poster over there:

The following information is courtesy of senspicktracker.com (Sens Pick Tracker - Tracking the draft odds for you!), which is an interesting site if you have not checked it out. Ottawa has actually fallen off their projected points total pace from a few weeks ago, which surprised me, as it seemed like they were playing better in the last few weeks. Their shooting percentage (7th overall) and save percentage (7th overall) is keeping them from really falling.

Yeah, and it also means we'd be 30th with how we're trending
Yes, that's what Ottawa finishing in last place means...
They have a high PDO and they are in last.
