Chris Cuthbert will likely take over. Kinda ambivalent, to be honest. Don't mind Brown but he's an awful homer. If we get rid of Brown, can we also move on from Slewidge (or at least see/hear less of him)?

Anderson might actually get a decent haul if Minny keeps going the way they are.

personally i still think they might opt to keep anderson for a transition year next year but if not they could possibly try to move him to Van. unless they go and try with Brodeur to mentor their young goalies.

Same ppl complained about gary galley and then when he left everyone clamoured for him. Will miss dean brown (not sure why he isn't going to do radio work?). Ppl in ottawa just need something to complain about.

That said, if we get chris cuthbert, I will be ecstatic. However there's no guarantee we get him. Might be stuck with dave randorf or rod black instead. Need a good color man as well.

Minny, NYI, Van, Cal (Reimer is going there), Buffalo, Pitt (maybe), St.Louis, Winn, there are no shortage of teams that might be looking to improve their goaltending.  Either way, Lehner should be able to get that job if he plays well with absolutely no questions asked.

Actually, no, I won't miss that either.

Cuthbert is good so that works for me.  Hopefully TSN 1200 replaces "The Voice" with someone that doesn't piss himself on a regular basis.  Brown is a big time homer and I used to be a fan of his calls, I guess the St. Louis / Chicago series will be an audition of sorts (he is better when not doing Sens games).

Hemsky should test free agency, although there's a need for him here.  Michalek should sign a 2 year, 4 mil a year, but I doubt he does.

Keep Anderson unless he's being disruptive.

We don't need Hemsky or Michalek. That line is a huge liability IMO.

MacLean says he felt he had to be more demanding this year. #Sens

How about, "He misses low"?

So he was easy on them before?
