Player Discussion What Sens player is/was not missed enough?

[Sens72]

Out of the entirety of the Sens history, what player do you feel wasn’t missed enough once they left the team? There’s (of course) quiet a lot of players we miss but what player do you feel didn’t get enough credit when they were with the team and then felt they weren’t missed enough after?

Marian Hossa, if only for the fact we were spoiled with 3 superstar seasons of Dany "freaken" Heatley.

Volchenkov really locked down the defence. I remember some angst at losing him but far from the level he deserved IMO.

Da Costa.

Spezza

Spezza..

I agree Spezza was probably "forgotten" once he was gone but I think it has more to do with Senators fans feeling like we got most or all of his best prime years. Plus we were looking forward to a group of younger guys taking over like Stone, Turris and Hoffman but if you think about it, he was sorely missed as a #1 center after his departure.

Edit: I also think his leadership was very under-rated in this city.

Hard to say if he was out of his prime just yet. If he could have had Hoffman and Stone on his wings it could have been the younger version of the Pizza line. Play Turris, Mac, and Bobby as a solid second with amazing Karlsson?

I'd vote Spezz too.

We haven't had a true 1C since he left

I'd say Chara but I am pretty sure everyone appreciated how significant a loss that was at the time.

 

[Agent Zub]

Da Costa.

that one was pretty annoying because his last 5 games as a senator he was arguably one of the best forwards and aside from Spezza the only one who had high end vision, and all from the 4th line. never got a fair chance

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Da Costa.

And my boy Roman Wick.

Cody Ceci....

 

[Laphroaig]

Lehner.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Wade Redden.

Smooth all-around D. Those guys are hardly noticed when on the ice, but when they aren't around, things fall apart quickly.

Not quite how I remember his last year here. Everyone in my circles was calling him 'Spatula' because of how much he turned over the puck.
