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

wprager wrote:Apparently Price may be available as the Habs do a full tear-down.  $10.5M, can the Oilers make enough room?  I'll just look at next season (contracts coming off the cap):

Koskanen:  $4.5
Turris:        $1.65
Archibald:   $1.5
Russell:      $1.25
Stalock:     $0.785

Not quite $10.5M, also the last 3 are on LTIR so that's clearing LTIR relief and not cap space.  I'm not knowlegeable enough to figure this out.  But there's also Puljujärvi and Yamamoto at  $1.175 each.  

Anyhow, I think it would actually be doable with some salary going the other way.

wprager wrote:Certainly not a "done deal" but it does appear the Sens have the inside track.  Second in the league in scoring is not nothing, and he's 26 so should be somewhat mature (none of this "Filly don't do rebounds" BS).  Would be great if he could play in the top-six with Stutzle -- just make sure you've got your best D-pairing backing them up and C. Brown or someone equally responsible on the other wing.

I've lost so much interest in the NHL over the last month or so...and I stopped paying attention to my hockey pool because it was too much work to try to stay on top of with cancelled games, COVID protocols, etc.  

I'll tune in for the Sens if they start playing regularly again, but boy do I just not really care right now.  

Bring on the NFL playoffs!  I didn't realize they were now having 6 wildcard games.

I agree. I'm over it.

Not sure if anyone here reads the Senschirp threads. Things have gotten bad in there without hockey.

Nope. I always found the threads there painful to read but senschirp doesn’t really ever contribute much in term of articles that bring anything else to the table.
With so many podcasts available, the necessity to go read blogs has diminished quite a bit.
