I don't know if they're bold, but I sure hope they all turn out to be true!

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Bold? I don't think this writer can English.

 

[tardigrade81]

We make it to the second round of the playoffs.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I don't know if they're bold, but I sure hope they all turn out to be true!

I'd like to be able to retain Pageau, we've bleed enough talent.

Not a big deal for me but still.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

1. DJ ups CBs and JGPs icetime to win now
2. Dorion waits till the last hour to trade Pageau
3. Dorion trades at least one pick to get rid of a contract

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

His predictions weren't very bold it's almost guaranteed to all happen so I'll make some bolder ones:

- Pageau returns a late 1st+
- Melnyk sells before the end of 2020
- The Sens draft Askarov

 

[GoSenatorsGo]

Bold prediction.. Dorion stays on track with the rebuild . Does not resign Ennis but gets a better then expected return.

 

[2CHAINZ]

My three bold predictions are

1. Something else of Melnyks gets repossessed

2. Dorion has his proudest day as GM at this upcoming draft.

3. Connor Brown starts every 3 on 3 OT from here on out.

*and Pascal Leclaire gets injured

 

[Burrowsaurus]

More 20/21 predictions but here it goes. Book it....

1. pinto wins Calder

2. Pinto wins art ross

3. Pinto wins Conn Smythe

 

[Karl Prime]

None of those are really that bold. Speculation has been rampant for a while that all three of those things may happen. Surely trading JGP and getting an impact forward at the draft. A bold prediction would be they make the playoffs in 20-21.

 

[JD1]

Ottawa gets 1 & 2 in the draft

Melnyk sells to a consortium that installs Alfie as POHO

HF Sens crashes the site and HF is no more

 

[BoardsofCanada]

After tearing up the AHL, Logan Brown returns to the NHL with a vengeance and eventually takes over the #1 center spot.

Hogberg stuns everyone by posting 10 wins and only 2 losses in the months of Jan. and Feb. and gets consideration for the Calder.

After the Sens are mathematically eliminated from the post-season, Brown, Batherson, Norris and Brannstrom are returned to Belleville and help the baby Sens go deep in the playoffs.

After a great season, Pinto signs a pro contract and leaves school. JBD follows suit.

Dorion courts Torey Krug and signs him on Canada Day to a 5 year 35M dollar deal.

The Sens win the draft lottery and select Lafreniere.

(more wishful than actual prediction)

2. Pinto wins art ross

3. Pinto wins Conn Smythe

Ford re-makes the Pinto in Shane’s honour.

 

[Xspyrit]

2020-21 :

- Pinto wins the Pinto Trophy, after it was renamed in his honour

- Duclair plays on a line with White and Brown

- Hogberg is involved in a meatballs incident

- Teams offer their 1st + 2nd round picks for Pinto at the 2021 draft but the Sens rightfully refuse categorically

 

[Dingle]

okay..I salute everyone. I was killing myself laughing.. we need more of this and less of the sniping, terse, snide, etc.

hey that Pinto kid has an edge..did you guys see the punches he threw at the end of the USA/Finland...Granted, Lassi Thomson was at end of a few. That could not have sat well with PD and staff

Will be good to add more deterrents to the team

This is enough good news to put me in a coffin. I will watch us win the cup from up top in heaven.

 

[dumbdick]

The possibility of an offer sheet for Duclair is interesting and actually seems plausible.

A late 1st and a late 3rd from a contender is pretty minimal compensation for him. There might be a team willing to offer, say, $6M x 7 years, and I'm not sure the sens would match at that price.

Isn't Duclair arbitration eligible? I think that means that he cannot be offer sheeted. I may be wrong though.

If he does not sign his qualifying offer .. he could get an offer sheet is one way.
