I still don't think he's the number 1 center on a contender. If Ottawa does become a contender I would bet a guy like RNH has over taken him for that spot.

That's assuming Ottawa drafts a guy like RNH. Dorion has already said the guy they pick will be in the NHL making an impact next season. Is RNH that guy?

Agreed. We can also assume that Spezza would have no impact on Ottawa becoming a contender in order for NPH to take over that spot, provided Ottawa becomes a contender in spite of Spezza.

Assume, we are back to the Spezza bashing. So much better than insightful opinions on goaltending though.

No idea. He has NHL skill to be sure. No other options for the number 2 center at this point. Could very well be RNH. I like Landeskog personally as I think in the long run he will bring more to the table. I'll take 20 less points a season for a guy that does everything and can lead a team.

Steve Bernier on waivers from Florida. He was highly touted at one point, do we take a chance there too?

Yes. I would for sure.

Could be the next Grabner?

What about Couturier? He's a center and has size.

I want SC or Landeskog or RNH or Larsson lol. Doesn't matter to me.

Ditto, as long as it's one of those guys.

Decisively indecisive. LOL

So after seeing how Grabner turned out it's a good move to grab anything off waivers from Florida ?

I thought Tallon was a good GM

In fairness, Bernier's been awful there.

What if we pick 5th and those guys are gone already? Then what?

I don't know how seriously you should take a statement like Dorion's. We don't even know where our pick's going to be yet.
