Ottawa Senators (present and past) TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

That he refused a conditioning stint? Yes it was.

“We’ve talked about it and it’s ultimately something that’s in the player’s hands,” Hammond told Bruce Garrioch on Thursday in regards to an AHL stint. “Once I feel it’s not beneficial for me to be here and practising with NHL players, we’ll definitely address that."

Puempel placed on waivers.

Mac can't be ready to play? Who's playing on that fourth line?

I want to see Buddy Robinson up for a few games. But it's more likely that McCormick will slide down as Ryan and/or Hoffman are ready to come back.

Hoffman expects to be ready to go tomorrow. So Puempel lost his roster spot to McCormick.

Wow, that 2011 draft. Three first rounders in Zibanejad, Noesen and Puempel and Prince in the second round.

Same 2011 draft -- Pageau (4), Claesson (5), McCormick (6), Dzingel (7).

Wonder if they packaged up the three first rounders and the 2nd rounder what they could have gotten.

Puempel gone -- claimed by the Rangers.

The Puemper is now an NY Ranger. Farewell, Puemper.

Remember when everyone was all happy because we were the big man on campus for that 2011 draft. lol

all those swooning over Zibanejad, and Noesen being the next coming of getzlaf and perry.

Sad actually....that was the worst season the sens have had in a few years and there's really not much to show from that draft. What's worse is the immense amount of talent we didn't pick (Sheifle, Couturier, Saad, Rakell, Hamilton, etc.)

Our only hope is Ryan and Brassard somehow figure it out and member how to score some goals

Seems like Kelly has that 4rt line LW spot and Lazar is the 4rth line center. No McCormick in there right now.

Lets see if he sticks.

Of maybe the rangers go on to try and clam Noeson whenever he makes it to the waivers. Reunite the Ottawa draft class.

Interesting. FWIW, we would have ROASTED them if they did that.

Goodbye Matt Puempel. I feel like we hardly knew you.

I tend to avoid these speculative questions because it's all worth nothing when you have the power of hindsight.

Im sure Edmonton would trade the first that helped them pick yakupov had they also known. It's just ridiculous to make these comparison later on.

The sens did fine in that draft. Sure some of those guys didn't pan out but you can't fault them for that. If anything a few of those guys helped us get better players. It's all good.

So dorion said he thinks white will play some games in Ottawa before the end of the year. That's interesting to say the least!

That would be highly comical.

The year or the season?

Because they always burn a year of College kids to entice them to sign IIRC.
