2017 Sens Off-Season

I wonder if a Turris, Claesson, plus deal for Duchene would get it done.

I'd rather have Turris than Duchene.

Karlsson said in a quote that Chabot is further ahead that he was at this point.

Erik Karlsson est impressionné par Thomas Chabot. "Il est en avance sur moi au même âge", pense-t-il. #ledroit

I wonder how much a cheap bachelor pad would set me back.

Yeah that's a bit of a head scratcher there. I'd rather have turris too.

I'd want duschene as a winger that can slide in at C. Without giving turris.

You have to give up something to get something unless you go the UFA or Swiss League way.

My daughter is volunteering at the Fan Fest, today. Lunch, t-shirt and a pair of tickets to the Leafs pre-season game on Monday.

And to think, last year she *paid* to go.

Slowly getting excited....

Alex Formenton is starting to turn some heads as a prospect. Chlapik had already turned heads, but man...there's a lot of hype around him right now.

VERY excited for Perron, Jaros, Englund, Formenton, Chlapik right now. A couple of these guys might even finish the year with Ottawa.

I've been eagerly awaiting Chlapik transitioning to the pros for a while. He and White need to apprentice with Burrows.

Is the game on TV tonight?

Sportsnet tonight and TSN tomorrow night

I'll be at the CTC tonight. Hopefully it won't be full of Leafs fans and the Sens net won't be full of Auston's goals.

Any early predictions for the Bochenski Award(TM)?

I think the vogue pick is Chlapik or Perron.

I love how my head got ripped off last week for suggesting that Perron may make the team out of camp. Still a chance for him to make the team and be sent down with Mac and Brass out (and now with Paul injured). I do think McCormick will be the one to make the team out of camp.

I don't think anyone ripped you're head off. I said that was very unlikely, and I would say there's still no chance. Perron needs to show he can handle the AHL first.

Don't be so sure, Ev. You have a 4th line that are all Boucher/Dorion guys and McCormick on a one-way deal next season. Ottawa could look at tinkering their top-nine depending on how some of the prospects look paired with MacArthur's status. With MacArthur out the left-side becomes pretty weak and I don't think Smith or Dzingel can fill his void. I am not saying it will happen anytime soon but I think Smith will be gone at some point opening a spot for a LW. Belleville will be improved this season and I think Perron, Paul, and Chlapik will be the reason for it. I expect all three of those guys to get a call-up at some point this season and one of them to stick.
