:) As someone whos musical tastes were formed before rap was invented, i cant really tell good from bad there. But this surely seems to be the rap equivalent of getting Rick Rolled?
The funniest thing about that video is how not one person is even bopping their heads. Two people are having a conversation, and no one looks particularly happy.

That audience needs coaching for TV stat!!!!

Looks to be a riser in the prospects depth chart, the highlights of him in the last month or so contributing towards/in playoffs is a real treat. He is now a prospect dark horse for the big rodeo, excited to see how he develops his game. Encouraged to hear about his supposed puck stealing skills, he looks to be a very good set up guy with some finish at the pro level.

Has his skating improved? I remember hearing that was the big concern with him.

Nice to see Halliday's progression. Belleville and their attention to defense and detail will be really good for him. Always had strong offensive tool kit.
A full season in Belleville and we could have a big skilled forward knocking on the door with top 6 potential. He will likely get a look in Ottawa at some point next year.

I think his skating (strength on his skates) has improved quite a bit from Y1 at OSU to now.

Looks like another big dude who may be able to play. Ostapchuk, Kleven, and potentially Halliday would be nice heavy additions to the team in the future (two potentially pushing next season).

Now if Jarventie can get back on track this would be a nice little group of potential middle 6/pairing players to look forward to.

I’d love Kastelic to have some pressure from new guys to keep him hungry. When he’s dialed in he’s a solid 4th line player for us along with physical play. Add in Ostapchuk and potentially Halliday down the road and that’s a lot of size and NHL talent.

I agree. I like all those guys. Hopefully jarventie can keep improving and find a spot.

While there are not any standout offensive players in Belleville, they are developing some good bottom six players & 2nd/3rd pairing defencemen for Ottawa. Five different positional depth players who may be NHL ready, some might add Sogaard G to cover all positions.

Ostapchuk LW - Halliday C - Sokolov RW
Kleven LD - Guennette RD
Sogaard G

Boko good at his job, I’d add him too, he’s had a good playoffs, good at stirring the pot and Ottawa needs more of that.

Stephan Buddy Halliday is a great emergence on the Sens prospect pool, buddy's got hands that can set up goals and a stick that breaks plays/steals pucks here and there. We may have a legit top-9 prospect here with a full season of AHL under his belt, this and anything beyond is gravy. Really happy with his performance in the playoffs for Belleville.

Damn I didn't realize he has 8 points in 6 games in the playoffs. Dude is the anti Marner.

He excels in higher-level play, benefiting from the superior organization and player positioning, which allows his playmaking prowess to shine. The only limitation could be his skating ability, but if it's even average, his intelligence, hockey sense, and skillful hands will more than make up for it. He has a knack for controlling the tempo of the game to his advantage, which reminds me of a former player that we traded away for a 5'7 offensive dman that doesnt provide offence.

Like all previous prospects we had here, he would benefit greatly from a full season in the AHL with the occasional call up. I think he would only need one year though.

He is closer to Stone than Sokolov, in that he has agility so I can see him being able to improve his quickness and first few steps.

He must be very excited about how his game has translated to the minor pro level so I would expect a huge off-season and being ready to dominate at prospects camp. I agree he should get another year in the AHL, become a dominant scorer down there and then see where he can fit in to Ottawa.

Going to miss the late round overagers Trent Mann drafted.

Trent Mann deserves massive props for his part of the rebuild, going to buy that man a beer if I ever meet him

If you do, ask him ‘wtf were you thinking with Tyler Boucher pick’
I didn't want Boucher, and felt it was a reach, but it's really tough judge how bad a pick he was given how many injury set backs he's had. It's unfortunate because we'll likely never what he could have been, even if it was only being a fourth liner.

I gotta look back but i thought he was also injured in his draft year. Definitely agree it was a stretch and the subsequent injuries definitely made it even worse. Feels like we wasted 3 years of 1st round picks from 21-23
