We got a 2nd round draft pick-look at what our scouts have done with 2nd round picks, Plus cleared 2.2 million.

With 4 picks so far in the top 60 and probabbly 2-3 more coming we are in for a great draft day and a young fast team to watch over the next three years. Add to that, we will be picking in the top 10 for the next couple years and this team three years from now will be awesome.

I would also be willing to take on some bad expiring contracts with our new cap space if we got prospects/picks with them-for example sheldon souray and his 5.4 million hit that expires next year for Omark or their 2nd rounder. There are many teams that would gladly give up picks to rid themselves of bad contracts that Ottawa can absorb why we rebuild.

If we do this right we could have probably 6 picks in the top 2 rounds this year, and 4 in next years!!

Take a look and get excited

How about
2. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
15. Matt Puempel
32. Niklas Jensen
59. John Gibson
Plus maybe two more.....

Haha. It's becoming equivalent to the redshirts of Star Trek fame.

You dont think RNH will be on the roster of a rebuilding Senators team within three years???

No one will be expecting us to win for a while but they should be played to get the experience.

So RNH makes the team in year three when we're supposed to be contenders? Great plan. I'll take Landeskog thanks.

That could be a monumental mistake just taking a guy because he is the most "ready".

It's obviously not the only reason. Scouts put him ahead of RNH on the central scouting report right?

wish we could get another top 10 pick and grab Huberdu as well, have heard good things about him, and unfortunately, haven't made it to any q games this year to see him up close and personal.

I just wish we could get another top 10 pick period.

spezza or karlsson is the only way

is runblad as good as karlsson???

would anyone trade karlsson if it meant we get larsson and nugent hopkins (to ottawa 2nd overall pick, to edmonton karlsson)

I know it won't happen but would you even consider it??
