Gotta give them credit I don’t know how they’re doing it but they are. Maybe Sakic can convince Dorion they’re contenders and snag the 2020 1st

Sorry folks! Was hoping the habs could pull a win for you guys but they deserved every bit of that loss.

Yeah, those f***ers play with emotion only 6 times a year, when they play the habs and the leafs. Well deserved win for them, oh well!
In the end, I could live with it if both of us are better than expected.

There is such a massive difference between a team like Ottawa who's shit on paper but have a good attitude and a team like the Wings who's also shit on paper but have a losing attitude.
Now let's see for how long it last.
As long as they finish bottom 10 and we end up drafting a good center that's about as good as the Avalanche could have hoped for.
Even if the Senators finished last, the Avalanche would only have a 35% chance at Hughes or Kakko.
Ignoring teams that are around their level talent-wise, they're clearly better than the Rangers and Red Wings. So the odds were always quite poor.

Brady Tkachuk. Character for days. Plus they’re all pretty young. We’ve seen that make a difference before.

Or when Brady Tkachuk is in the lineup. His energy is contagious and he's going to be the main driving force behind the new culture in Ottawa. Lack of jump is not something the Sens have suffered from this season.
The kids are the heartbeat of the team, and guys like Stone, Duchene, and Boedker, are feeding off it and thriving. Ryan and Smith are also contributing. The Sens when healthy are a sneaky deep team, especially with the 3 top prospects that are lighting things up in the bullpen (Belleville).
Sorry to say Avs fans, but your 18.5% chance for landing Hughes is likely getting slashed in half (or worse) if the Sens keep playing the way they are. Not talking about their record either, this isn't luck.

Our biggest need is at C (Hughes, Turcotte, Dash) then LD (Byram, Broberg). Even though wing is the least valuable position for me, there are still some very nice ones in (Kakko, Cozens, Podkolzin, Lavole). As long as the pick is "Top 9" I'm very happy because we fill a need.

I'm just going to check back on this thread in January and see where things are. Ottawa looks decent so far, can't help but be impressed by their play this year.

I agree but you can add Suzuki, Krebs,Zegras and Newhook as center ,York as LD and Kaliyev as Sniper power forward. And some others can help us for Stanley cup in 2021.

I was at the game last night. Sens got a team. I think we may have underestimated them. They've got some star power up front and I thought Anderson looked decent. I could see a similar situation developing as the Avs when we supposedly traded Yakupov for Varly but the pick ended up being at 11. They likely won't make the playoffs but I could easily see the pick being in that 10-16 range.
No way
No way , still think they are bottom feeder. It is early and their star power up front will be traded. There are about 8 teams in the same category (bad) and they are 1 of them .

Duchene and Stone will likely be traded but if they wait until the deadline to do so much of their fate will be determined by then. While I agree they are in the mix of the bottom 8 teams, it's possible they overachieve and end up outside of the bottom 10.

Nothing against Ottawa at all but I just think this is not sustainable at all and think that its closer to worst case 5-10 pick. They are playing good but when the season gets a month or 2 in is when the cream starts rising to the top imo
SENATORS ARE THE NEW VEGAS according to the fan base.
Their young defenders Lajoie and Chabot are leading the league and as of now they won the Karlsson trade especially with Dylan DeMelo.
All teams having a very hard time playing against them.
