Won a contest...Give me your thoughts on this

[CTC]

Morning HF,

So I won my way into the Fan appreciation night on Tuesday against the Jets. A couple 100 level tickets(hoping for a parking pass...haha) and I get to take part in the Jersey Off Our Backs lineup! So I get to meet and choose someone's game day day Jersey, now here is my dilemma...I have wanted a Duchene Jersey since the trade...but what if I have the first overall pick...should I just go with the EK jersey as the proper choice or do I pass him over and get the Duchene jersey I have been wanting? They are my 1a and 1b picks so I will make a momentary call if they are unavailable at the time.

I am not 100% on the details if it's anyone in the lineup or select players only or if this is being done off the ice or on the ice in front of everyone in the crowd but I am looking to see who's Jersey you would take home?

Thanks!

Congrats!!!

Personally, I’d take EK. But I’m a bit biased...

If you have to pick from the lineup and EK prefers not to play, then your problem is solved!

Either way, I hope you enjoy your night!

If you don't plan to sell it/make a profit from it, take the one that will be most sentimental, the one that you'll like looking at or wearing the most.

Thanks! I am thinking that the EK would just make more sense given its potential to also be a bigger keepsake in the event of how things go this off season with a possible trade? His last home game Jersey.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Get Burrows.

But really get EK. He's the GOAT.

I would go with EK if possible for this reason. If you don’t get him then its no big deal but if you had the option to and don’t you may kick yourself later.
Also congrats on winning the contest!

Indeed, it’s a good point. I hope it won’t be his last home jersey. But if it’s meant to happen, it would be a huge keepsake.

As much as I like Duchene, in my view, and after the last 8-9 years, EK is the face of the Sens.

 

[Micklebot]

Congrats.

I'd go for Karlsson myself, but to make the decision even easier: there's a real possibility that the game against the Jets could be Karlsson's last in a Sens Jersey should he be traded this offseason. Hopefully that isn't the case, but it might be worth considering

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

Whatever happens with Karlsson, he's debeatably the best player in franchise history.
I don't see any downside in having that jersey in your collection.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Congratulations! I'd go for the jersey I wanted most, point blank. If I was REALLY stoked on a Paajarvi jersey, I'd take it before going for the "logical" pick. IMO logic doesn't really play into it if you're not planning on selling.

OTOH, there's no denying the keepsake value of EK's potentially final season jersey.

 

[starling]

Karlsson obviously. I mean think about it as a game-worn Hockey Hall of Fame jersey, not just Senators.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Get Boros jersey. You would be the only one who has one. Be different

 

[BUCKLE UP]

I'd go with MVP.

 

[CTC]

I do not plan on selling it, I have been a big fan for the last 16 years and given like starling and most of you had said...it would have to be EK, just too many factors...here's hoping! And thanks all for the congrats!

I actually like the concept of game-worn obscure player jerseys. 'Cheap', authentic, and interesting.

Plus you wouldn't even need to frame it and attach it to the wall, just stick it right up there.

This . Then sell the jersey for a Kings ransom in 20 years once EK has been inducted into the HHOF

****ing hipster

f***ing hipster with a game-worn Juha Ylonen jersey!!!!

Go full obscure and ask if they have any Nick Shore jerseys left over.

****ing hipster

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Karlsson, he and Stone are the only relevant players these days. Karlsson is the G as well.

As a longtime season seat holder im curious how you got selected for this? I always kind of thought they went with high value season seat holders and then made a pool of those with tickets actually scanned for the last game and then drew from that list, any light you can shed on the process would be of interest to me. Always thought that would be super cool to do and wondered if it was seniority etc...same goes for the rest of the giveaways, I wonder if they are selected ahead of time?

This year at least they're doing different contests on their twitter for four different spots in the giveaway. I'm assuming that CTC won the spot that they were giving away yesterday.
IDK how they select the other 16 spots, random seat draw, preference to ssh or what

Nothing to do with seniority or STH, quite honestly all I did was reply with a hashtag back at the Sens on twitter and mine was chosen. Got in contact with me/them and filled out the waiver/skill testing question and made sure I fell within the eligibility requirements. They have it on Twitter and Facebook for the #SensSaythanks contest leading up to tuesday's game.
Blind luck was with me.
