We were supposedly 2nd choice.

As for how we missed out ? Tampa probably promised him ice time or more(top-4 ice time etc). Their D is awful enough. These guys want NHL ice time and the NHL paycheck that comes with it, regardless whether they can handle it or not(or whether it is best for their development).

I doubt DeKeyser will come here either for that reason.

Source? I guess he's pulling a justin schultz move.

The Senators were among the teams that finished second in the push to get free agent D Andrej Sustr. He chose Tampa. #Sens

Dumbly worded by Bruce Garrioch. This does not mean they were 2nd.

By Thursday, the team that held the key to his immediate future was obvious - Tampa Bay. Like everyone else, Sustr noted the trust that GM Steve Yzerman was putting in his prospects, and how those players were getting a chance when they were recalled from the Syracuse Crunch.

That's why when the 6-foot-8, 222-pound Sustr made his final choice, he agreed to put his autograph on a contract with the Lightning.

My guess is BM wants to see if he can stick in the NHL so it would bring a well rested body for the playoffs. as some as suggested the sens are starting to look a little tired of late. fresh rested bodies could help.
having Andersson back could help as well. you kinda hope he finds his early season form.

There's more to these roster moves than meets the eye...

Will be on television is 10 to 15 years. Yeah I call em like I see em. He is the best young defenceman in the league by far.
