Thoughts on the rebuild?

[BonkTastic]

Bonk's pissed off because i don't agree with his view.

Not even in the slightest, but that's fine.

We could have hired Mike Yeo, and been in the same place we are today.

There were lots of bad choices for coach. We just picked the one who most resembles a bond villain. "Hiring anyone else" isn't the thing that would have fixed this team. It has to be the right guy... but the "right" guy usually costs $$$, so we're more likely than not going to hire the "wrong" guy again this summer.

How many "wrong" guys have to be hired until Melnyk realizes that he needs to pony up, or does he even care. He prob just doesn't care.

Hartsburg, MacLean, Boucher, Cameron, Clouston....may as well add another name to this pile of mediocracy.

I'm sure he cares deeply about finding the right coach that will steer this team towards multiple years of unparalleled success*


* as long as that coach is also OK with being paid one of the three lowest salaries in the league.

We are right there.. We are this close... I can see why Dorion is so excited .. and that when the GM told him they had to contend for a playoff spot , he bought right in. We are not at the bottom.. to Dorion this is a pass.

The Sens blew it up and are into the very early stages of a rebuild .. despite unpopular opinion.. It would be nice to be closer to the top on this chart vs down there with all the playoff teams.

ECHL is pretty much be irrelevant in any real measure of organizational success.

Hey now, they needed more colors to make the fancy chart legit

You would rather the graph show us in last place?

It’s okay we don’t need draft picks. This rebuild is already in Phase 2.

I'm colorblind ahhh

And we have the trusty Dorion at the helm

Post the new chart at the end of next year, I am sure it will be drastically different

But 2020 picks won’t help us compete in the playoffs in the same year, and won’t make us a top cup contender in 2021, which is the plan.

Well good we will have way more prospects and picks than we need

He just gets all his scoops from us

I think the keys are an owner with deep pockets plus a GM who knows how to build a team for the future. The coach has limited capability to make a great team; however he can screw it up.

Brucies article;
GARRIOCH: There’s no shortage of work to do for Senators before training camp in September
Again lots of rose coloured glasses optimism being pushed.

Best thing in the article on Ceci "If he doesn’t sign a contract that’s four or five years in length, there’s a good chance he’ll be dealt." He should definitely be going for longer term.

Very Encouraging - "Veterans Mark Borowiecki, Craig Anderson, Zack Smith, Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Bobby Ryan are expected to play big roles next year. Defenceman Dylan DeMelo and centre Chris Tierney, acquired in the deal with the Sharks for Erik Karlsson in September, will be expected to step up to help lead the way." - yuk no more please no more

The BS meter is reaching new highs!

If Mann is on a multi year contract I'm sure they'll just promote him to AGM or POHO, that's how we roll

I heard that Chirelli is available.

Holy shit, now we have a 14 point dman with something to say about our organization for some reason.

Keep it to yourself, champ!

We have Chabot and Chucky... more to come after two years of tanking.

Funny how some people are thinking his quote was slight at the Sens organization.

Does anyone have the entire context?

 

[BondraTime]

We Chabot and Chucky

It's not a quote from me, it's how an NHLer sees things

I know. But we don’t know the context of what he is stating.

Can you give me an example of some realistic context where that quote could not be a slight at Ottawa...

Saying that Ottawa has no stars is a slight, no possible way for it not to be, as much as you'd like to defend the org.
