McKenzie: 'Shocked' If Stone and Dzingel play tonight if no agreement by then

[Filthy Dangles]

I read it more as they are moving on from the Sens, but your point remains.

Well yeah it's a two way street. But I doubt Ottawa's extensions for any of those players were competitive or close to "market value".

 

[SI90]

I think they’re all scratched because they shit their pants. No trades imminent

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Woah, haven't heard of this one before! haHAHAAHAHYHAHHAHAHAH

I actually feel bad for yall. As much as I hate the Sens, good fans shouldn't go through that.

Well played

 

[Duffalufagus]

One could argue they didn't even get that for Karlsson. Watch them settle for a 2nd and a bag of pucks.

They have no leverage. None. And it’s a buyers’ market.

They need to get real. What did Kane go for last year? A conditional second? And the oilers want a second for Chiasson?!

These garbage teams need to be relegated.

 

[PelagicJoe]

Has a professional team ever dove into the abyss like the Sens before? They had a very good core and a hopeful future 2 years ago and in two years they traded away (on top of my head):

Turris, Brassard, E. Karlsson, let go of Methot, Hoffman, 1st pick, Dzingel (soon?), Duchene (soon?), Stone (soon?)

Any other names I forgot ? That's a solid core and it plummeted so fast, and sure Duchene was got by trading away Turris but it just hurts.

The Edmonton Oilers after Messier went to NYR.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

No That I agree with, I guess my comment was unclear. It was moreso the fact that 3 players of that caliber would be scratched for a game because the organizaiton is moving on from them. Only Ottawa

Can't argue with you there.

As a Sens fan it's just .... A bewildering ride lol

 

[SR]

No Stone, Duchene, Dzingel, or Johansson......... It's like a freakin pre-season game

Or the Arizona Coyotes.

Canadiens after the 1993 Cup, AINEC. Gone in three seasons or less were Roy, Desjardins, Carbonneau, Muller, Bellows, Keane, LeClair, Schneider, Odelein, Savard, Lebeau, Dionne, Daigneault, DiPietro, Haller. If you're counting that's one HoF goaltender (and arguably the best ever), all of that teams centers including the team captain, the Top 4 defensemen as well as their 6th & 7th D, and all the wingers on their top two lines except Vincent Damphousse. Absolutely ghastly mismanagement in the wake of that Cup victory.

That must be one nasty stomach virus plaguing the sens locker room

 

[End of Line]

Or the Arizona Coyotes.

At least they have Keller

 

[krutovsdonut]

The Edmonton Oilers after Messier went to NYR.

the oilers went to the conference finals the year after that trade. but yeah, after that it was game off.

 

[Hasbro]

Should be an interesting crowd tomorrow night in Kanata.

 

[Leafs87]

Weird that they kept all three until the 11th hour

 

[JLo217]

Iirc they basically said they wanted to play to keep the pick from being where it is right now. Maybe Dorion early season ... can’t recall.

It was Dorion, he also said we are going to keep together our good core, our owner recently stated we will be spending to the cap in 2 years, there is literally nothing that comes out of Dorion or Melnyk's collective mouth in the last couple years that can be believed.
