Is there a prospect you've not been excited about?

Probably the ones that suck, I dunno. Not recently, that's for sure, not the way the Murrays and Dorion draft and sign college players.

I might be missing something, but what's not to like about a 6'2", 200 pound, right handed D-man who drops the mitts, plays a physical game and has put up ~45 points per year until this year where he's putting up 70 (as an overager, I get that)?

It is official:

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to be excited about this.

For the record, his name is Troy Rutkowski.

Heard last night that Rutkowski is playing on the top PP unit, while Seth Jones is on the 2nd.

Solid signing, great for depth. Hopefully he goes to the AHL next year and really stands out, would be great for the organization. Makes me think a deal for a D man is coming somewhere down the line for some more top end talent up front.

Wonder if Edmonton would ever make a trade for one of their 3 big wingers in a deal involving Cowen and Bishop...

Mark Stone send back to Bingo... not a huge shock based on last night.

Not sure a young goalie can net that much, Halak came off a legendary playoff performance and look what he got. Bernier gets limited play time behind Quick. I think he is playing more now but still.

You mean a former top 12 pick and the 1st star of last night's game?

I heard Eberle likes to score big goals at SBP

Well that's what I meant, Bishop hasn't put on any post season numbers like that (if any at all ?). We're not getting a good prospect back just for him at this point.

As I predicted this morning...just call me yourr insiiidddeerrrrrrrrr.

Also, Kassian skating on line with Daugavins and Regin.

And Lundin was back in full practice, if that matters at all which it doesn't.

Man, I was right in the corner at SBP when that happened, amazing. But yah, a deal involving Cowen for Eberle would be a pretty solid move for the Sens IMO.

Lundin has been jumped by everyone, not sure if you can even really play him at this point but depth is always good.

Look what Lindback and Bobrovsky went for as well. Goalies who are fairly young and have #1 potential get a decent return.

I think a high second would be fine. Deep draft this year so if we trade the 1st for Perry it could soften the blow
I'd still prefer packaging him

If they ever trade any of their wingers it will be Yakupov IMO. They were willing to trade the #1 pick at the last draft.

Yeah we'll get a 2nd rounder and change. Unless we make a package we're not getting a roster player or prospect though.

Oh my... #Sens RT @chrisjlund Breaking: Daugavins can lift the signature move and it is beautiful. Sweet mercy.

The plot...thickens.

Is the GMSim still going on? I drafted this guy with my 2nd rounder when I was still there
