Ottawa Senators TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

NEELY wrote:It was a matter of time before Wick got the call. His game has improved 10 fold compared to camp down in Bingo and this is a shot he absolutely deserves. This move also might keep him in the organization another year or two. Next year, like everyone else in the organization, he will have a legit shot at cracking the lineup with a good camp.

A guy like Regin could be in deep if he doesn't blow people out of the water next year at camp. Having a one way deal he may indeed be a candidate to be waived with a bad camp next year.

First half of the year I didn't think he was worth calling up.

He's not ready IMO. He only started to play better when he was paired with O'Brien and Condra, but he's still not strong enough. We'll see how he does, I wish him well, but this is a one or two game trial at the most (IMO).

Roman Wick in die NHL berufen
Roman Wick hat seinen NHL-Traum fürs Erste erfüllt: In der Nacht auf morgen wird er aller Voraussicht nach sein erstes Spiel in der grössten Liga der Welt bestreiten. Er wurde von den Ottawa Senators nach zuletzt starken Leistungen im Farmteam Binghamton Senators ins NHL-Team berufen.

Google translation:

Roman Wick appointed to the NHL
Roman Wick has fulfilled his NHL dream for now: In the night to morning, he will deny all likelihood, his first game in the biggest league in the world. He was appointed by the Ottawa Senators after the recent strong performance in the farm team to the Binghamton Senators NHL team.

I love those google translations

Interested to see what Wick does has really earned this shot and has shown he can compete at the top level.

Not that I don’t enjoy reading your posts, but you’re going mile-a-minute with some very definitive statements. Just wondering if you have some sort of background or credentials, or if you’re just really opinionated.

Really opinionated, but in this case there is way more proof that's backs up his argument than stuff that goes against it.
Plus I agree with it, so you know it's right
