Oh my **** the lack of our lottery pick is the cruelest **** in the world. After everything the team has been through...truly the cherry on top.
It has been since the 90s where the Sens missed the playoffs 2 years in a row.
We have been spoiled is what you're sayingIt has been since the 90s where the Sens missed the playoffs 2 years in a row.
That won’t look too bad in a couple years.It has been since the 90s where the Sens missed the playoffs 2 years in a row.
A drastically, DRASTICALLY lower % shot at getting a guy who can contribute at the top end level, hence the top picks being valued so much more. Having a top 3 pick is a layup, your chance of getting a cornerstone is so much bigger than the rest of the 1st.
Yes, finding these type of players is very hard. Having a top 3 pick increases the odds of getting one by an absolutely gigantic, humongous amount.
Yes, the Sens have their own pick in 2020, they have a very, very good shot at Lafreniere/Byfiled/Lundell/Holtz, all who could be franchise level guys, which is the reward you should get for being a bad team; something the Sens don't have this year.
Everytime people talk about how smart scouts are I think about how paajarvi was thought of as a future offensive juggernaut.
and likely screw it up
I watched Byfield a decent amount when he was with YSE but admittedly haven’t seen him in the O.Where is Byfield expected to go in the draft?

Fun fact ... Who leads the Ottawa Senators in give aways? Mark Stone.
He also leads in take aways by a much wider margin.
Most people would not guess the give aways I would bet
True that is a common correlation ; but I still would not have guessed it.Players who handle the puck the most, give away the puck the most.
It's a pretty consistent correlation.

He’s trying to do too much. You can see how badly he wants to be the captain.
It’s going to be tough to say this but I think we have to trade him. Making him captain might ruin him, where as if we trade him he becomes a Hossa-esque player on a championship team.
