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

Doesn't sound like we're really in on Schwartz.

I don't think we're really in on anything. I did hear del zotto is down to Ottawa and another team in the Atlantic. Not sure I understand the fit personally

Where are you hearing these rumours? Would be best to provide links etc.

I bet we will get Strome, take a flyer on Dal Colle, and add a depth d-man. Also Nick Ritchie is a possibility.

I'd rather Pius Suter.

My knowledge of del zotto is personal

He'd be a decent add.

He'd be okay. We need someone that can play 20+ minutes with Chabot and need a legit #2 center. I think Norris can be a #1 - he's just not there yet, but his progress from the start to end of last year tells me that his ceiling and potential is super high, and if you've ever heard him talk, he's humble, intelligent, and a hard worker. I think he can make it to a 1C this season, if not the year after.

I think there should be an asterisk next to anything that happened last season. We were facing the same teams over and over again. The results could be skewed and positive outcomes could be attributed to coaching. I just rather see him in a full year against the full competition to really anoint him a plausible #1C.

Sens sign pending free agent DJ Smith to a contract extension

Dadonov traded to Vegas for Holden +

Weird, I thought they needed help on the right side. Wonder if they are planning on flipping him.

Strange trade for Vegas. I think Dadonov is better than he showed last year, but thought it would be hard to move him. Sens shed a decent chunk of money here.

They had $12M in cap space. They have less, now, still only 18 on the roster. Guess they aren't getting Eichel.

Senators up to $32M in cap room. "Cap room is a weapon".

-4-8 for Tkachuk

-3-5 for Batherson

-1 for Gustavsson

-1-2 for Mete

-800K for Brown if not traded

Good to shed Dadonov's contract, so that's a positive so far today. Now if we can avoid signing more useless vets...

So many trades. It’s an impressive off season in terms of action. Not nearly close to being done either.

Sens not doing much of importance so far though. Makes me fear that they won’t achieve their set goal of a top 4 RHD and a top 6 C. They’ll probably settle on Henrique. Better not be a high price as we’re doing them a favour.

I got to admit that I’m surprised to see we got a 3rd round pick in the dadonov deal.
Im not familiar so much with Holden’s career. Did they pay us to take on Holden or for Dadonov?

He was in the minors for a good chunk of last year but played in the playoffs. Dadonov contract was backloaded
