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

I think agents like that are part of the problem. You have to be able to tell your client that they don’t look ready. And clearly he doesn’t. It’s a disservice to the player to hear two contradictory arguments. He’s more often than not going to listen to the positive.

This is a case of where the message should be clear. Work.on. Your. Speed. And. Intensity.

Yes. Saw the post on twitter. Hard to believe Kraft would be interested in a Canadian team
