There were a few articles written in early May about Snoop being interested in buying the Sens.
Exclusive: Snoop Dogg on bid to buy the Senators: 'This ain't no joke'
In an exclusive interview, Snoop Dogg talks about his love for Ottawa, his desire to grow the game, and his respect for Gary Bettman.

And you're cool with being accused of being a boomer when you know that you aren't?
I prefer facts to be part of discussions about whatever in life.

Well, I know you are. You said thank you numerous times.
I may not be a boomer but I'm certainly old enough not to care if someone calls me a boomer.
It was a little joke about someone forgetting the extra G in his name and it's been completely blown out of proportion.
Carry on everyone!

Boomer is a way of life. Nitpicking the demarcation between Boomer and GenX is a very Boomer thing to do.
It's like Karen or Chad. Karens and Chads are very rarely named Karen or Chad.
EDIT - Also, as a Wing fan I do not want to trade for DeBrincat. Don't want to let that get lost in the rabbit holes.

F*** your ice cream!
please link me to thatThe dumb fake phone call video Dorion made continues to age like milk
I didn’t think it was odd. Ottawa hadn’t even experienced playoff race hockey in 5 years. It was time to make some moves to improve the team and be competitive.

Very unlikely. Dorion backed himself into a corner and no other GM is going to help him out.
Bad GM is a bad GM. That is why trading for DBC was so risky: no one is going to give us good value when he wants to cash in as a UFA.
At least we won't be the one signing him to an albatross contract. Good player but he hasn't show he's a star player away from Patrick Kane; I'm fine with letting another team pay to find out if he can be.

I feel like what got blown out of proportion is that you tried to make me feel like an idiot because I forgot the extra g in Snoop's name, and inferred that I'm a boomer.
I just brought up Snoop because it would be awesome if he was part owner of the Senators.
Take a look in the mirror and let's end it there. This isn't about this crap and I'm sorry if I have caused any sort of derailment in the discussion here.

Yeah, it was a bit like the Duchene trade.
I liked how Duchene played for Ottawa, he was just the wrong player at the wrong time.
Duchene actually had the most goals per game in a season of any Senator post-Pizza line (e.g. 2010+), including last year's team.
Personally, I think DeBrincat got a bit of a raw deal here.
Given his track record, I'm certain he expected to play on the top line in Ottawa, but with Stutzle-Giroux-Tkachuk playing so well together, he was stapled to a defensively-vacant Batherson and a wet-behind-the-ears rookie centre in Pinto.
It was tough to watch them struggle, it just wasn't a good fit. With Norris being out for the season, and Formenton being on hiatus, it was a bit frustrating to not even see a single game with the roster that Dorion had envisioned.
It's noted that most of DeBrincat's scoring was on the PP, but that's when he had the opportunity to play with Ottawa's top forwards.
His career shows peaks and valleys in terms of shooting percentage unsurprisingly coinciding with his strong seasons and slumps, but he does have a higher than usual average shooting percentage than most, like a poor man's Stamkos.
He was 15+% four out of his six seasons in the NHL. His 10.3% last season was second worst to an 8.7% back in 2019-2020.
I'd like to keep him as I think he has potential to rebound, but with the way his contract is set up, it's likely prohibitive. I think whoever gets him and puts him in the right situation could have a solid contributor on their hands.
That's on me then, I thought you were taking a crack at Ottawa's ongoing ownership snafu.

I understand that but if you’re going to pay a top 10 pick + don’t you want to talk to the player first to make sure he’s willing to stay long term? That was just an odd decision from Ottawa’s GM

Dude, I am honestly thinking of.................
Man, I shouldn't even say this out loud.
If Snoop became part owner of the Sens, maybe I need to have a second team.
Maybe I need to then buy a Sens Snoop jersey (you know he'd have one, with his own number)
I am a secret (don't tell anyone) Sens fan. Always admired them and in fact it was watching the Senators back in the 90's in the playoffs that got me into NHL hockey.
It was so intense and fast and awesome, that I went "hmmm, maybe next season I'll start watching NHL hockey"
I could have chosen to be a Sens fan, but just thought hey, I live in Oshawa, Leafs are everywhere, let's do that.
That's how I became a Leafs fan (poor me!) I made a choice.
But will always have a soft spot for the Senators. I was also born in Deep River (moved when I was 6)
So there it is. Also, every Senators fan I have met in REAL LIFE are awesome people. My kind of people. I can't say that about other Leafs fans.............and yet I am one (a die hard)
I can totally take being called a boomer, it makes me laugh hearing it happen to other people. I have just never been accused of it and it's hilarious to me, I was waiting for it and you gave that to me.
So again, thank you.

The more I think of it, the more Carolina makes the most sense.
Two late 1st is probably close to what both teams would agree on. Ottawa could use that as bait for another fish.

Most importantly is the team is for sale. Prior to last off-season the didn't have much optimism. The Giroux signing and DeBrincat trade created a buzz and the team was projected to be good enough to contend for a playoff spot. This buzz helped increase the sellability of the team.
The playoff hopes fell apart early though with the goaltending either being injured or underperforming and Norris going out a season ending injury early in the season. The #2/3 Dman in Zub also missed almost 30 games.
If he gets traded I expect Ottawa to actively pursue a second round pick as part it, somehow included so they can draft Oliver Bonk. It would be such an Ottawa move.

Is DeBrincat...elite???
A 1st, a 2nd, and a 3rd sounds like a Kessel-type controversy that didn't even come close to the heat Burke got for doing such a thing.
Ottawa fans,
Explain yourself!
Says who? Player Agents?

Ottawa is so lacking in cool that missing out on Reynolds and probably Snoop doesn’t help.
