Ottawa Senators (present and past) TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

I didn't listen to it and I don't plan on listening to it. The fact of the matter is we know Karlsson wasn't going to sign here with Melnyk as the owner, so they had to trade him. Time to move on.

Yup. Here it is:



Take-aways:
- he's still really sad that he was traded
- said teammates had no idea what was happening with the whole hoffman(s) feud
- confirmed he was offered a contract but knew even if he signed, they were still trading him, therefore confirming the offer wasn't in good faith by the senators
- 100% believed he was traded at the TDL
- didn't get into specifics with melnyk unfortunately but confirmed he (the euge) emailed him in the summer

No Duchene at practice today, which is bad. Tkachuk is in a contact jersey and I'm guessing he'll play tomorrow.

So apparently there were new D pairings at practice:

Chabot -DeMelo
Borowiecki -Wideman
Lajoie -Ceci
Harpur

One of the things that has driven me nuts with Boucher is the constant line shuffling, and I guess that will continue.
