Silfverberg by a long shot. I'm not actually looking forward to this being Alfie's last season even though I am relieved we'll get to see him play at all.
Silfverberg is a close second, but I have to go with the opportunity to see Alfie in Sens colours again, although I will be very sad when he hangs 'em up.
I'm going to have to say Lundin's debut. He's an absolute all star.
All honesty, seeing Alfredsson play his last probable season is probably what I'll be looking forward to the most. Future Sens fans won't get the chance to see him live playing NHL hockey, again.
I shamelessly admit to looking forward to Silf's rookie season after getting his jersey from the playoffs. I now have a vested interest in his success or failure lol. I am thrilled we get to see Alfie again, but would be disappointed if this is it for him.
While the Alfie option is the most obvious choice for us die hard sen fans, I think Turris's development, and Methot's / Lats debut are underrated options.
Regarding the debuts, I think the excitement was killed by the lockout. They both have the chance to put up very solid seasons and even establish themselves as core pieces. Lats is only 25 for christsakes...Hes most definentely a boom or bust player, but hes in a position to succeed here, and assuming he put in the work like he said he would, I would lean to the boom side. Barring injury, hes gonna get top 6 minutes, and quality powerplay time.
Silver is going to be a good player for us but you guys need to temper your expectations, seeing how Rundblad and Zibenejad has played out so far on the Send roster, don't expect too much from a Swedish rookie in a fast paced season. If he scores 12 goals for us (20 goal pace) I would be thrilled.
I am most excited for Karlsson's follow up year, for me he's easily the most exciting and entertaining player to watch in the league.
With a shortened season and his play oversees compared to the other top dman who have been just practising, he would be ready to go off at the start and plus more skill added to the top 6 like Tender and Silfv, I wouldn't be surprised at another Norris.
Also excited about Turris and Weircioch on the back end.
