Call Soko up, Rourke Chitier ain’t cutting it.

Sokolov should be getting serious consideration for a call up. I would have called him up before Chartier or Lucchini. I am guessing that the Sens management are delaying a bit so that Sokolov gets a bit more refinement in the AHL and then gets a call up at some point in January or February and ideally steals a roster spot once he gets there.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Once Norris is back, I'd like to see how Sokolov could do on the third line.

Sokolov-Pinto-Joseph
Motte-Kastelic-Watson

Our depth issues may be solved.

Yeah, it's Soko time. Move Giroux to C.

 

[Big Muddy]

So, there's Sokolov that maybe has some potential.

Are there any other forwards that could possibly make the leap to the big team next year?

We might need to fill some bottom 6 slots with some inexpensive ELCs (unless we go with low paid free agents) if we hope to resign Debrincat, Zub and have a 1b goaltender (or resign Talbot) for next year. Doesn't seem to be that much talk or info floating around on this subject despite its relevance.

I would be surprised if Ridly Greig and Angus Crookshank are not regulars next year. Injuries slowed down their development, Crookshank would have made the team last year and never look back IMO.

JBD was establishing himself before injury so that's another. Don't think anyone else is ready

IMO there are a few Sens prospects that will eventually be part of the team, but whether that is next yr is the question. Kleven, Ostapchuk, Boucher, JBD, Greig, Sokolov, Jarventie & maybe Thomson &/or Sogaard could all be part of this future team & maybe a couple of them challenge for a spot next yr, but who knows when they could all be ready.

They need a player like Kleven on the 3rd pairing to replace Holden, but will he be NHL ready coming out of college? Probably not. The Sens could use some more size & toughness on the bottom pairing & Ostapchuk & Boucher could bring that, but will they be ready? Probably not. Sokolov has led or been right up there in scoring for the B-Sens for the last 3 yrs, but can he translate that into the NHL? Maybe. Is Jarventie NHL ready yet? Maybe or maybe not.

JBD looks the most ready while Thomson didn't & Greig needs to stay healthy. I also doubt Sogaard is anywhere near NHL ready yet. Crookshank is another guy who might have a shot but they have a few guys who play a similar role already in Kelly, Motte, Joseph & Gambrell. Ottawa needs a few of these guys to step up & accellerate their development sooner rather than later, nobody really stands out yet.

Given the feedback of the last 2 posts, I guess the most likely suspects to graduate next year would be Grieg, Sokolov, and of course JBD. I agree that the others are most likely further away if they make it. Sokolov seemed to be a step behind the play quite a bit the little I've seen of him. Hope for the best I suppose.

There are plenty of guys in the NHL that are a little slow, Mark Stone comes to mind. It's not about Sokolovs lack of speed as long as he has others that are faster on his line but it's more about him getting to the areas where he can produce pts at the NHL level. It's also about adding a pt producer to the bottom six to help with secondary scoring which at the moment seems to be lacking a little. I'd like to see him get an extended look, but I think at this point the Sens are doing everything they can to stay in a playoff hunt & likely don't want to change much. But yea, I would rather see Sokolov than Chartier but agree with @Rafi that they might just be waiting on him being a little more ready for the callup.

 

[Icelevel]

And Lodin. If he can stay healthy he should get a serious nhl shot again. He’s the oldest of the Belleville guys.

Roster Notes: for tonights game

Belleville will get some slight reinforcements up front, as the Ottawa Senators have returned forward Jake Lucchini from the National Hockey League on Wednesday morning. The Trail, BC native was called up last week and made his NHL debut against the Montreal Canadiens. Despite Lucchini’s return, fellow forward Rourke Chartier and captain Dillon Heatherington remain with the big club. Belleville’s healthy scratches include forwards Matt Boucher and Joe Carroll.

Injury Report:

No.	Name	Pos.	Last Game	Games Missed	Timeline	Notes
7	Viktor Lodin	LW	Dec.7/22 @ TOR	4	Week-to-Week	Upper Body
10	Philippe Daoust	C	Nov.23/22 @ UTI	10	Season Ending	Shoulder
19	Cory Conacher	RW	Nov.5/22 vs TOR	16	Indefinite	Undisclosed
34	Roby Jarventie	LW	Oct.29/22 @ RFD	17	Week-to-week	Knee
48	Jonathan Aspirot	D	Offseason Surgery	26	Week-to-week	Shoulder

Who to Watch:

Belleville Sens forward Angus Crookshank has moved up to 12th in AHL rooking scoring with 18 points and is just four points back of the leader, Sammy Walker of the Iowa Wild. The 23 year-old from North Vancouver, BC is also second in rookie power play goals (5), one back of Walker and second in rookie shots on goal (77), one back of Daniil Gushchin, of the San Jose Barracuda.

The Penguins lineup boasts a number of familiar names, including goaltender Dustin Tokarski, whose 2.11 goals against average has him ranked third in the AHL. His partner Filip Lindberg, who was signed by Pittsburgh to an entry level contract over the offseason, is 10th in GAA (2.11). Up front, the Pens are led by 24 year-old, former first round draft pick Alexander Nylander, who has 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists). Fellow Swede Fillip Hallander, Pittsburgh’s second round pick in 2018, also has 20 points (seven goals, 13 assists).

Tonight’s game can be seen on AHL TV, or heard live on the Belleville Sens Entertainment Network.

Egor Sokolov is the main forward. The other forwards that could get a serious look that are playing in the AHL this season are Ridly Greig, Angus Crookshank and Cole Reinhardt. Roby Jarventie and Viktor Lodin have had significant injuries so they are unlikely to be ready to make the jump near the start of next season.

The other options at this point would be Tyler Boucher and Zack Ostapchuk. Physically they will be ready for the NHL at the start of next season and both could get serious consideration for a roster spot. But it is also highly likely that they spend some time in the AHL.

Sokolov likely finishes the season in Ottawa so he has a chance to lock down the 3rd line RW spot. Crookshank and Greig could get a look at the 3rd line LW spot in the 2nd half of this season. Reinhardt could get consideration for 4th line LW. Next season Ostapchuk could get consideration for 4th line LW and Boucher could get consideration for 4th line RW.

Going into next season that means that 3rd and 4th line LW spot could have Greig, Crookshank, Reinhardt and Ostapchuk fighting to steal it and the 3rd and 4th line RW spot having Sokolov and Boucher fighting for it.
