I'm at work and have absolutely no idea what was said and when.

Yup. No point having Anderson playing if the Sens can't score a goal or keep possession of the puck. Sell super high, ship him off to Columbus or Chicago.

Because no matter what your team looks like you need a goaltender. Columbus doesn't have one that can cover up for the mistakes of a really young team like Anderson has for Ottawa. Lehner is ready, he deserves the shot and Bishop will be right there to push him.

Trading Anderson has to be considered now.

Lehner is an NHL goalie man. He's the AHL MVP and the best player not in the NHL. He deserves the net. As for Anderson if you can get a kings ransom for him it might not be the worst idea.

You gotta see how long Karlsson is out for first before making an decisions... if it's over a year than you move Anderson.

Yup, exactly what I am thinking. Ship him off to Columbus for LA's 1st and Wiznewski or something, let Lehner run with it now because there is absolutely no point in having Anderson in nets now.

Yep. Focus is on next season. Cowen will be back. EK will be back. Turris will have more experience, as will Zib and the other kids... hopefully we have some more scoring support up front.

Ah. Here are some things that were said yesterday.

No they can't. Season is done.

It's pretty much done.

It's not done until it's done. Give me a break, we have a Vezina caliber goalie and a Jack Adams nominee and one of the premiere builders in the league as GM.
