Did anyone see Dorion's quote re: MacArthur? Essentially the team expects him back but the decision is up to him. Umm... I didn't know he was contemplating retirement? Something maybe the team should have addressed earlier this off-season?

It was mentioned at the exit interviews that his future was up in the air.

I saw it reiterated today. I mean health obviously comes first but you'd think the organization would have a contingency plan? Ryan Dzingel isn't it...

If you ask dorion then it likely is the plan!
Although I'm sure Dorion is still busy if there isn't an upgrade available out there. He seems like an antsy GM always trying to see if there's a good deal out there.
James Neil is maybe available. But is it worth it for just one year?

But it still smells like a cleansing.

A lot of upheaval in the Sens front office lately, but who knows what it actually means.

Oh, on the subject of Melnyk, RIP Bert's Bar: http://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/98856/bert-bar-employees-money-answers

Looks like Bert is getting the old Marshy treatment.

Yes, a fictional character.

GM Dorion on MacArthur's status: We hope Clarke comes back. Indications are along that way, but if he chooses not to, we'll respect that.

So assuming Mac is in and no further moves are made this off-season, what does our lineup look like, where do we finish in the standings, and how far do we make it in the playoffs (if we make it)?

We finish 1st or 2nd in the division. No predictions for anything else.

Lineup when healthy:

Hoffman-Turris-Stone
Smith-Brassard-Burrows
MacArthur-Pageau-Ryan
Dzingel-Thompson-Pyatt

Claesson-Karlsson
Phaneuf-Ceci
Chabot-Oduya
