POLL: Which of the Big 3 D are you most excited about?

Karlsson got my vote

karlsson, i think his offensive flair has been missing for a looooooong time.

It's a tough one, I'm still battling with it.

At least CheapShots Brennan won't have to constantly put down Karlsson to protect Redden like he did to Corvo and then Meszaros!

Corvo had great offensive instincts but got beat A LOT. I can fully understand him getting skewered by the press, though I think they went a bit far with the "Uh-Oh" tag.

Very Bouewmeester like, beautiful hands. Karlsson, is pretty obvious, very excited to see him in action.
Cowen is very exciting too, I'll wait 1/2 a season on this guy and see how he does. But, he's very intriguing. There's more on Weiricoch and Karlsson at the moment though.

Indeed. They're smooth, creamy, delicate, yet masculine. Mind you, He could have any woman in the world.. but none could match the beauty of his own hand.. And that could be a problem, eventually.

Accurate yet inappropriate.
More so on second reading.

Well played.

Oh, and I should address the real question at hand (sorry...)

The fact that there is so much discussion and deliberation regarding this can only bode well for the club in the future - all three are likely to be impact players in five years, and probably in three years. I'm not sure that I'm more excited about any one over the others, but more the concept of a young, highly effective, and cheap defensive core that is internally developed.

I'm Excitted about them for different reasons. Karlsson is obvious, Cowen I think everyone expects to turn into an absolute stud, and Wiercoich for the simple reason he will compliment both those guys one day giving The Sens a really compete, deep, and dangerous blueline.

Karlsson was the obv choice because he is coming in this year.

Karlsson was my choice, for the same reason as most, we will see him very closely this year with the big club.

He got beat, but he battled back or the goalie shut the door. Besides, he was being butchered when he was briefly a minus player and not a peep was spoken in his favour when he became a consistent plus player.

An electrifying player who was given a raw deal in this town with CheapShots leading the way.

After much longer than I thought, I'm going with Cowen. I think everything that Karlsson brings on offense, Cowen will stabilize the back end big time. When the chips are down, he'll be the guy saving the goal that would have tied the game a la Scuderi. I think, over time, he'll be the guy that we'll come to feel most comfortable with when he's on the ice. The proverbial 'last minute of game 7' guy.

I love Karlsson and I adore Wiercioch - I almost voted for Wiercioch because he's such a wonderful surprise. I also toyed with voting for Karlsson because he brims confidence and will bring a Boyle style game to Ottawa for the next decade (hopefully), but in the end, it's the tower of power on the back end that gets my hopes up just a little higher.
