Ottawa Senators TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

I also just made a bet that Matt Moulson would score more goals than Clarkson this season. I'm clearly dealing with a Leafs fan who can do math. They both peaked at about the same production, but MM should get 10 more games in. More if Clarky keeps getting suspensions. He'll be on a tight leash this year.

Ryan/Spezza/Michalek
MacArthur/Turris/Conacher
Greening/Pageau/Zibanejad
Neil/Smith/Condra
Kassian/Da Costa

Methot/Karlsson
Cowen/Weircioch
Phillips/Corvo
Boroweicki/Gryba (if Gryba is injured long term)

Anderson
Lehner

Don't see it going any other way.

That's 24. Who goes when Gryba is off the IR?

From that lineup? Boro, unless they want to dump Corvo if/when Boro beats him out.

I imagine Mendes took the local gig so he wouldn't have to travel all hockey season. It'll be great to have him on the Team 1200.

As for the lineup to start the year, I imagine Borocop will be in the AHL.

That was easy money.

Good pick and good bet.

Any Jimmy O'Brien updates?

I will predict the future for you: No one will claim him, and he'll be relegated to Bingo for eternity.

JOB cleared waivers.

Next stop, ECHL?

He'll have to kill it in Bingo this year. Don't sulk, score 80 points and make sure they remember you.

lol Jimmy O'Brien ain't getting close to 80 points. he won't even be the best player there

He won't be coming back up unless something seriously goes wrong like last year... even then he couldn't get into the lineup. He's done as a Sen.

He has talent offensively. Depends on where he plays I guess, but the point remains of he wants to play on the NHL again he has to kill it.

Here? He's done here. Mac doesn't like him = you're done. Plus he's been lapped on the depth chart. I mean other teams.

If JOB lights it up in Bingo, he might be tradeable at some point in the future.

You just hope he has a positive effect on the guys down there but by all accounts his attitude has never been the best. He is officially a 1st round bust. Amazing the American Jr Program used to think so highly of him.

I'm a little surprised. I thought for sure EDM would of picked him uo on waivers. they desperately need help down the middle.
