One of the few players on the roster worth tuning in for.Life of a Sens fan - FML quality. Was really looking forward to a full season of Wolanin.
What a bummer. I expected him to clearly be our 2nd best D man this year and a reason to watch.
Guess it opens the door for Brannstrom if he's up for it.
Oh ya, Lajoie. I'd completely forgotten about him. Seemed like he'd been buried on the depth chart in short order.Lajoie as well. I expect him to be more ready than Brannstrom
He earned a spot last year. He came out of last training camp on fire. Then he got saddled in a shut down role with the shut down specialist Ceci.. that is enough to bury any one. I expect him to push for a spot , if there is one.Oh ya, Lajoie. I'd completely forgotten about him. Seemed like he'd been buried on the depth chart in short order.
Ya he looked good to start the year, came out with a bang really.He earned a spot last year. He came out of last training camp on fire. Then he got saddled in a shut down role with the shut down specialist Ceci.. that is enough to bury any one. I expect him to push for a spot , if there is one.

They have such a glut of LD prospects, that it's hard to see where he would fit long term.
Absolutely. Lets see how much he's improved over the summer. Hopefully comes with a little more strength this year.Agree with the long term. But Wolanin's injury provides an opening for him this year
HUGE blow to Wolanin IMO.
He had a leg up on Brannstrom this year and he could have solidified himself as a NHL PMD either here or elsewhere. He obviously still has a chance to do that but the window has closed at least somewhat for this year.
I would say bigger because Pageau had already established himself as a quality NHL player. This could hurt Wolanin in more ways than one. He needs to come back , play in Belleville (likely) and prove himself worthy to send someone else down, or replace someone at the TDLBrutal.
This was as big an opportunity for Wolanin this year as the one Pageau had last year.
