That's dire. Though I guess whenever they decide to call it, they have lots of players who could command a first at the deadline

With the Sens penchant for the USHL, and their penchant for big guys who play nasty, I have no clue how Knies got past thier pick at 49 for Ben Roger.
Thinking the same thing. How much better would the top 6 look today with Tkachuck and Knies at LW?

Absolutely floored at the Sharks draft, 3 of their top picks are absolutely demolishing expectations. Celebrini, Dickinson and Chernyshov is just outrageous, and I keep coming back to that even on the day of the draft without hindsight.
Chernyshov legitimately looks like the smartest player on the ice every game, he looks just like Mark Stone did in Junior, possibly better (not saying he’s going to be Stone)

Holding on to Connelly is smart as well, he’s a top 10 talent they shouldn’t have been able to get.

Definitely much easier when you know they are resigning with you, or are already signed long term, but it’s an unreal job by the Knights brass.

Not being willing to take on money (and instead sending picks in exchange for others taking on money) was the main problem with our rebuild.
The main issue with our rebuild was trading high picks for young players that didn’t want to be here or weren’t a fit on the roster. Those were the biggest mistakes.
Imagine today you’re sitting with a mid 20s PPG forward up front locked up long term and a mid 20s top 4 RHD locked up long term.
Then Dorion messing up the Dadonov trade.
Had these things not happened we would be in a great position right now.
The picks added here and there for salary surely weren’t great but in the grand scheme of things it had a small impact compared to other massive mistakes.
Dorion really f***ed us and our contention window with idiotic decisions that had nothing to do with money. Dorion was scarier when he had money (Murray, Dadonov, Gudbranson, Korpisalo). Spending a ton of money and assets for no reason.

Grier trades for Walman in return for a 2nd, and then a few months later trades him away for a 1st. Two free high picks for a million bucks give or take
Imagine the Sens being run properly the entirety of the Dorion tenure

Dorion reached his level of incompetence in hockey. No further lessons are required there, unless it's how to flip burgers!
He's more of a pizza guy, so he will probably apply for a job where can flip pizzas!

I'd love to get Pageau back. Lou loves his vets and it'd be awesome if we can trade someone like Perron to them and get back Pageau. We'd have insane centre depth with Pageau back. Engvall and Mayfield at cheap aav's would be solid depth pick ups too.
