Lee called up

Brian Lee has just been called up. Diddle! Not good if A train is gone too long.

Ha!

Demotion for Karlsson's development my @rse. All that matters is that contract, otherwise he'd be coming back up here to play with Kuba.

He's the next Wade Redden. Dean Brown will be comparing him to Ray Bourque soon enough!

Was it ever really up for debate. EVERYONE knew what this was. It has never been about Karlsson, it's always been about the current Sens.

Does anyone have an update on what exacly is wrong with Volchenkov and how long he'll be out?

Tim Murray just said on 1200 that it was going to be a long, long time for Volchenkov. This is NOT short term.

Diddle.

Who takes Volchie's spot? Carkner? Yeesh!

Are you serious? That is not good, abviously it's a break! This is a real blow to the team. Need to make a move now.

Ooooh boy.
A contract year too. I guess the bright side is that it might help things if it goes to arbitration?

Just finding the light.

Our D suddenly looks iffy again.

Phillips - Carkner (He's the only Volchie-esque D man we have)

Kuba - Campoli

Picard - Lee (I got shivers and pangs of fear just writing that out)

Brian Lee? He and Phillips were good together IIRC. I'd put Karlsson right back on the plane to Ottawa right now - even though, I'm not confident he's ready for the NHL, it's time for him to be an Ottawa Senator.

Things change overnight. Brian Lee is an option, but Erik Karlsson is still a better player.

Never happen I don't think.

Phillips - Lee
Kuba - Campoli
Picard - Carkner

Limit the amount of shuffling right now.

We dealt without our best D-man for the first 8 games or whatever, we'll have to roll with this.

PS, our D just started looking iffy to you?

Not happy.

This is Lee's opportunity to step up, big time. Either that, or we'll be offering a guy like Shannon for a short-term solution on the backend before long.

By 'long time,' I hope you mean weeks and not months.
