Ottawa Senators TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

Cap'n Clutch wrote:The problem is how many decent, at the time trades, and signings that go wrong does a GM get before he's moved? The hindsight is 20/20 argument is part of life as a GM. We praise him for things that have gone well and say well at the time they were good so just because things went bad it doesn't really matter. I personally love what Murray has done this season under the circumstances and I love how he's drafted and what he's done with the college route but I'm not giving him a complete mulligan just because the trades looked good at the time and now are turning out to be horrible.

I think it's time to move on with a new GM but keep Murray on as a consultant.

He was winning too many games for us anyway.

Number 1 center, number 1 goaltender, true captain. Everything else is being built. Sens have a step up on a lot of teams. They are also building their back end first which will be key down the line.

I think Clouston's odds are improving. Most likely he is gone but I can see a 1 year contract and they bring in a former head coach to be his 'associate coach'.

Looks like Clouston might have this team in hand with some big personalities out of the picture.

Yeah. One of those Hockey Canada lifers would be nice for sure. Is George Kingston still alive? Andy Murray maybe?

I have no idea where the next coach should come from, if it's hockey Canada then it's hockey Canada. Muller may indeed be the next big thing in The NHL, that could mean he is ready to take over a team like The Caps and make them a Cup champ, doesn't mean he is the right guy to build a young team from the ground up. You need a guy in there that can get the most out of a young team and at the same time teach them the game.

The complaint against Clouston is the performance of the big money vets on this team (Kovalev, Fisher, Kuba, etc.). They are 3-1-1 since trades began (against awful teams though).

You are an imposter. There is no way that N4L would call Spezza a number 1 centre.

#Sens coach Clouston on whether good goaltending can make a coach look smart: Bad goaltending "can make you look stupid, too." #Sabres #NHL

NEELY wrote:Cunnyworth is probably a good choice but again, I don't know all the in's and outs of exactly what The Sens are looking for. Like Cap just said as well, Martin would probably be the exact coach I would think they need going forward. Attention to detail and learning the game is exactly what he is about.
