All Things Binghamton Senators!

All the answers are available on the Internet, but I'm done trying to interpret the waiver rules in the CBA.

Binghamton announced a 4 year extension with Ottawa, which picks up after this coming season.

Poor Bingo players.

Looks like the dream is over for Cornwallians.

They should find a market place in Ontario to move the team to...help grow the whole Senators brand.

The Sens also announced an affiliation switch from Elimra to Evansville. The former coach (Dwight Mullins) of the Jackals is now coaching the Icemen.

that is too bad, cornwall would of been a good place for the team. very near for call ups and would make a nice base near town.

Since when does Cornwall have an AHL team?

Maybe Cornwall could work as an ECHL team?

I was looking at our list of prospects earlier today. Calder Cup or bust IMO

Defence could use a bit of help. The list of recent graduates includes Cowen, Wiercioch, Ceci, Borowiecki and Gryba. Who do they have left beyond Claesson? Wideman?

They've got some solid guys that can play D, but no one that really stands out beyond Claesson. Wideman could take a big step forward this year.

Wideman took a big step forward last year, this year will be building on that IMO. 4th on the team in scoring with 51 points, according to Bingo posters on HF he ran a great PP, got a little bigger and wasn't knocked off the puck as much.

Aside from Wideman and Claesson, we'll have Aaron Johnson who was a fantastic addition to Bingo's backend. 40 points in the A last year and has some fantastic NHL experience. Patrick Mullen is a point producing AHL veteran who has 32 points in 66 games last year, so he's a guy who can move the puck and man PP2.

Alex Grant was acquired last year and is also a good point producer/AHL veteran. He had a total of 37 points in 71 games + 2 goals in 2 NHL games with the Ducks, so he's a very capable 2nd pairing guy in the AHL.

Sdao will probably round out the 6 D-men - a pretty solid group IMO. Not too many prospects yet other than Wideman,Claesson and Sdao, but a wealth of puck moving and experience to help the kids and help Bingo stay near the top.

Troy Rutkowski appears to be the odd man out who will probably start in the ECHL and have to work his way up to Bingo if/when there are injuries. I assume some of the ATOs we have coming in will be signed for the E, so they can also be called up if there are injuries of NHL call ups.

The forwards are deep, but lacking too many high skilled guys. Still, solid depth, big boys who can score = big year for Bingo IMO.

Plus...and people might not want to hear this, but if the roster stays the same, Bingo will be getting a massive boost on the backend in the form of Cody Ceci.

Ceci won't be going back to Bingo.

How could you possibly know that? If there are no moves made to move a D-man or two, I don't see any other option that him starting the year in Bingo.

I know things.

Of course they have little to do with the state of hockey in the Capital.
