All Things Binghamton Senators!

Nobody watches Binghamton.

Sad, but somewhat true.

TSN has ranked the best NHL affiliated prospects. Silfverberg is Ottawa's best at 16. Zibanejad is 23. Edmonton's Justin Schulz is #1.

What happened to Lehner?

No Markstrom or Lehner on that list, but the younger Subban is on there. I think a four-year-old drew names out of a hat to make up that list.

Lehner, Markstrom, Gibson etc are way better than Subban. It's a Craig Button list and he usually overvalues players who play in international tournaments too much. Most mainstream media do this.

His list also has some criteria...

"Affiliated prospects list on TSN.ca has following criteria: less than 24 years old & less than 10 NHL games played. "

That narrows the list considerably... as with anything Button does, read the fine print...

OK, so that flimsy criteria cuts out Lehner, who is under 24 but has played a whopping 13 NHL games, but it doesn't exclude Markstrom. I don't think there's a GM in the league (or a fantasy GM in a fantasy league) who would take Subban over Markstrom. There are literally a dozen or so goalies out there that fit Button's criteria who are as good or better than Subban.

Subban is an unknown quantity at this point in time. 0 pro games. Ludicrous ratings.

Stupid ratings are stupid.

There's a reason Button is in the media instead of the actual industry.

When does Mika Zibanejad get back to playing?

Not sure but the flu or wisdom tooth stuff is probably BS. I'm pretty sure the dude got some concussion symptoms back.

Naw they would say that. They don't tend to hide it.

Well, it's certainly not the flu, and certainly not wisdom teeth. He hasn't been injured either. So, what do you think it is? For me it's pretty obvious.

Seems like Zib got hit with a trifecta of bad luck....

Silfverberg's shot is ridiculous

Alright, bring Wiercioch up

Crazy game. Down 3-0 after too, leading 4-3 now. Wiercioch, Silf and DaCosta show

Nice! BSens FTW!

Lehner finally gets back in the W column. But, man, being down 3-0, was this finally a case of him not playing great and the team overcoming it? If so, this could be a very important win.
