Meh, I don't know that he fits our needs. I think he'd walk back into the same situation he walked out of -- a tweener with neither of the top 2 C spots open to him. If we're going to shell out money, I'd hope we're doing it in a more targeted way. To me, that means a top 6 or 9 scoring winger or a top 4 RH D.

Yeah, but now it's a true top 9 we're working to fill out, so we're talking more about a 3rd line winger who can also take draws at a staggeringly high %. So you have your choice of either him or Pageau taking the draw. Plus, I think he still has pop in his stick. I think he can get to 20 goals again.
Plus...and most importantly, he's a friggin great guy and apparently everyone in Ottawa loved him.

Yeah, but a centre playing wing whose skillset seems better fitted to centre, too. I just think that, for 5 mil a year long term, we can do better. If we're going the UFA route, I'd rather go after a pure winger like Williams or a D upgrade (say, Franson). That's just me, tho'.

That moment when The Alfie hoists the Cup as part of the Sens management team will be pretty sweet though.

I'll have some very moist eyes on that day. The cup being passed by karlsson to Alfie. Pretty Cussing moist.

I'll be pretty Cussing moist everywhere when we hoist the Cup.

Possibly. I like Williams, just think Vermette brings more to the table. That said, there's no wrong answer as long as we're filling out the top 9 and getting an upgrade on D.
Williams brought a couple of cup rings to the table and so,e timely gWG but so does vermette.SpezDispensed wrote:rooneypoo wrote:SpezDispensed wrote:rooneypoo wrote:SpezDispensed wrote:Vermette had a clutch playoffs, especially in the later rounds. Want.

Does that mean upgrading Ceci or moving him down to the bottom pairing? I feel like a top 4 LH D is the greater need, but I'm curious to hear what you mean.

I mean there could potentially be no market or the offers could be too darn low it be ridiculous to move Em. I could live with Cowen being in the team again bit bottom pairing when Boro is out. If Cowen can improve who knows.
My big ? Is freakin Phillips. I just don't see a need or fit for him. We should of really traded him at the trade deadline two seasons ago instead of giving him a new deal.
I know he's earn the respect of the team but come in, not to their detriment.
Just retire with honour and your achievements. Don't embarass yourself.
