Ottawa Senators TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

The team marketing is a joke as well though, not sure what they can do here.

Can pretty much guarantee the prices are going up next season.

There isn't much demand for Sens tickets compared to the bigger markets, if they raise prices I bet the amount of sales will go down somewhat.

Winnipeg is a smaller city and they have way more season tickets holders and several thousand more on a waiting list.  We just hit 12K.

1. Obviously, the biggest debate in Edmonton is what goalie the Oilers should chase. They are at 49 contracts, so signing a free agent or trading a draft pick for a player  completely eliminates roster flexibility. Brian Elliott makes sense, but St. Louis may not be interested in taking salary in return. Is it worth giving up an asset to get someone (Elliott, Ryan Miller) who is unrestricted after the season without trying to sign them first? Ottawa probably wouldn't trade him, but Robin Lehner would be a perfect target.

2. Lehner, by the way, said he is down 18 pounds from his playing weight when Binghamton won the 2011 Calder Cup. He was 245 pounds then. He's now 227 and still looks huge. He was great last weekend, making 92 saves in less than 24 hours in San Jose and Anaheim.

It could work. There's more size on that top line to make up for Conacher's miniscule dimensions.

Only time I can imagine management even entertained the notion was when they had Bishop, I imagine there was talk as to which goalie will be better in the future.  His name came up in Nash trade talks (how lucky are we to avoid that, he's out with a concussion again).

Lehner makes sense for a teams to target, I imagine Murray gets calls all the time but it makes no sense for us now.  Maybe years from now if Hammond, Driedger etc. turn to be the next promising goalie and even then what are the odds they look this good at Lehner's age?

Conacher has looked fantastic, pretty much every Sens preseason lineup prediction had him in the bottom 6 or on waivers.
