You love the ol assumption train eh? Suter will not be coming back over to NA this year for sure and I highly doubt he'd want to come to this dumpster fire when Zurich had a decent season in the NL last year.
You a glass half empty kind of guy ?
How do you know that? Link quote anything? And you actually think a player that has a chance to build a career NHL is going to say oh I wanna stay in Zurich instead because they are good... Also this is an opportunity for the player to play because of the 'dumpster fire'. Seems like you are the glass half empty person here.
Because he's playing in the best league in his home country lol and making decent money to boot.
Would you like to have a bet that he doesn't come over this year? heck, i'll make that bet that he never comes over in here career.
You keep doing you bert
Patronizing comment with absolutely no basis for it. Great job.
You are actually trying to argue a player that has the opportunity to play in the NHL would rather play in Switzerland, if someone offered you a job that paid you 5/10 times the amount you wouldnt go for it?.... How do you explain all the other players that come to play in the NHL from Europe? You know they could all just stay home too. Straw man argument at best. I guess if you have no leg to stand on get personal and call it a day.
I never once said that he WAS coming over I said I hoped they signed him or offered him a PTO. Given the fact that they invited him last season and he played two years in the OHL your argument is trash. He clearly has shown he is willing to play in North America.
I really don't care what kind of argument you call it, bottom line is he's not good enough to play in the show.
If anyone is making it personal its you.
Bottom line is the lineup you predicted for next season will not have Suter in it. Isn't what this whole debacle was derived from?
He very well might be good enough to play in the NHL.
He's played well against men in an excellent pro league.
He's played well in North America.
He showed well at camp last year.
He still has to prove that he can get the job done over the long haul but there's not much to suggest that he couldn't carve out an NHL career. I'd bet he would be one of our top 13 forwards this year if we ignored contract status.
Playing well in a men's pro league is quite the feat, its just not the best pro league in the world and nor does have any transparency on how his game would translate in the bigger smaller NHL game.
He's played well in North America as in the OHL? If you played well in the OHL your guaranteed to be a sure fire bet in the show right?
Listen, I would more than welcome him coming over to NA and trying to crack the lineup again but I just don't see it happening at this point.
I keep forgetting about him.No one has put Paul Carey on their list, I feel he might be 4th line centre, as he played 60 games in the NHL last year.
I keep forgetting about him.
I think the team will consist primarily of those players who have NHL contracts with a very limited opportunity for the young prospects to earn a spot during training camp.

Generally agree.. especially down the middle. I think Gaborik is out to start the year so that opens a spot... White will likely play that side . I think Chlapik gets a chance .. Both White and Chlapik will have to have good camps .. I expect Formenton, Brown, Batherson and Tkachuk to give them a very good run.. Formenton will likely go back to junior but I expect his speed to make him stand out again. I think Brown will show some high end skill offensively and will make the decision on sending him down hard. Tkachuk .. have to wait and see. As of now I could see him going to London with Formenton but all options are open.
Agree with most of that yupOur attempt at an opening night lineup for the Senators

Why Max McCormick will be on the NHL roster is beyond me. I know it's not a lot of money, but to blatantly waste a roster spot is just bad management.
I think people will be pleasantly surprised by Batherson. If there's one guy I think can jump to the big leagues quickly it'll be him.
