Ottawa Senators off-season talk

Melnyk makes his money in other places - like Capital Tickers for one.

i heard it in an article as quoted from bettman. 2Mill $ more, will go a long ways to re-sign cullen and land us someone for our D. very excited
doesn't anyone want to retain sutton as well?
i'd sure like to.
sutton and Z michaleck on one team... a lot less shots on goals.

^^^^^
this would probably see us trading kuba.

If we get Michalek then I think we'd better just go with Kuba for next year. I liked what Sutton brought, but not enough to go through the ordeal of having to trade Kuba to sign him. Just bring us Michalek please!

Phillips - Michalek
Kuba - Karlsson
Campoli - Carkner

I like that, I'm just as trusting in that as I would be if Volchenkov is in there and it sets the stage for a nice development time for Wiercioch and Cowen and Gryba.

I like this. Having Campoli there means that when he goes through his inevitable period of suck, we can spell him out with one of the 3 you mentioned.

Yeah exactly. Sign Michalek, perhaps trade a roster forward or two and
re-sign Cullen. I really like the sounds of that personally.

Yep. Like I said earlier, I'm a simple man with simple needs and all I need this offseason is Z. Michalek and a stud forward prospect. Everything else is gravy.

Imo we could realy use sutton those crushing blows that puts the fear of god in our opponents whenever he's on the ice will be missed. I think keeping sutton and trading kuna ( with maybe foligno) could bring back a top 6 forward. I'd love to have a third line with some top 6 on it. Talk about secondary scoring!

Then again maybe grubs is our new sutton..?

I think the Sutton-love really dried up around here when he largely disappeared during the playoffs. He was really tenuous & uncertain for most of the PIT series.

i agree that after that leopold hit he dissapeard but i wouldn't rule out he'd be a good fit. he's not a top3 D-man but in a 4rth or 5th.
he could make a significant impact on the regular season maybe even with his style of play and his presence on the ice limit the amount of injuries that happen to the sens. thus helping us win games, better ranking...
i think it's a little harder to calculate the impact of such a player. i think having a player that is capable of delivering that kind of "clean" hit is gonna have a huge impact on how we do next year.
no volchie, no sutton... there's an element missing that maybe we've been to accustomed to have.
