Ottawa Senators TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

All they are doing is saving money. If they are in Bingo, they get about 15% of their NHL pay.

On that note. Where the F*** is Leclaire? He was only supposed to be out for a few days and it's been like months? Why are the Sens being so secretive about Leclaire? Is he on the next Hell's Kitchen with Gordon Ramsay? Truly: What. The. Fnck.

Both Brust & Brodeur had the flu. Lehner played with an Elmira call-up as backup.

let's hope they don't bring the flu back..

Lehner played yesterday so that explains this series of up/down...

I get that but if clouston is going to alternate and you got 2 healthy goalies in bingo land, why not just keep lehner up rather than shuffling him off to bingo for a start? My guess is that this isn't exactly a cap move and its pre-determined that elliott will start on tuesday

We don't on Brust's rights though, he's not on contract with us, only with the Binghamton Senators. That doesn't explain why Brodeur doesn't play down there, or come up as well. He must be injured or something, although he does back up Brust.

Brust is on a two-way between Bingo and Elmira. I don't think he was expected to play in Bingo this season. It was Brodeur & Lehner. But Brodeur got injured in the 1st game and was out for almost 3 mos. So Brust came up.. and has been lights out good.

Gee Leclaire got injured... leaving Elliott & Lehner as Brodeur was not healthy to play.

Sens would have to alter Brust's contract to get him up for a game. I don't know if they do that this season.. since Bingo is in a fight for a playoff spot and he is their best option in goal right now.

Did Lehner wear a surgical mask under his helmet?

Brust also has to clear waivers if they do that too apparently.

Imagine if it was the other way around and Brust was playing with the Elmira call-up? We'd have two goalies dressing on our farm team that aren't in our system. This has gotta stop.

I don't think I'd call Brust up if he has to clear waivers, as Clutch mentioned, but they really need to get the guy under contract. I don't give a Diddle if he comes up, I just think we need some depth at what some consider to be a somewhat important position. (somewhat)

[1]Brust isn't signed to an NHL contract so he can't be called up until signed to any kind of NHL contract. I believe Brodeur is/was sick so he wasn't available. Remember, Lehner is not human, he doesn't need to be handled with kid gloves.

[2]Haha. That is what happens when you have Leclaire as one of your goalies. An absolute waste of a contract and the motor that runs the carousel.

I don't think they are doing the shuffling at this point to save money. They are beyond that now with all the high salaries about to be moved for picks and prospects.

IMO, they are doing all the callups and re-assigning to get a look at some of their prospects in the NHL and for Bingo's regular season success respectively.

Yeah, with Fisher going last week, there's a ton of money off the books.

Keller gets the call this time, but Condra next? I'd have thought he would have gotten a look a long time ago.

If he is an emergency call-up to replace an injury (a la Leclaire) then I don't think he has to clear waivers.

It's hard to follow these quotes and multi-quotes right now, but I will say that Brust would need to sign some form of NHL contract before he plays for Ottawa.

As it stands right now, Brust can not be called up - emergency or not.

The last time I saw him in the media was at that charity casion event with his GF.

They're not wasting one of the 50 contracts on Brust right now I don't think. They'll wait until summer, way too many other things going on - including the Sens trying to sign Erixon and Lindstrom and Da Costa to name only a few.

Nothing would make me happier.

Soft as melted butter. He isn't really even trying to rehab as much as he should be.

Just be glad it is almost over. He, and the decision by management to turn Lehner pro, are jointly responsible for the goalie problems everybody has Wing Dang Doodle about this season on multiple occasions.

I'm guessing Leclaire will be taking a paycut then? How long do we sign him for? 1 year @ 1.95 million?
