EMERGENCY FAN MEETING: The Senators are Soft, Broken, and Have No Identity - Here's My Fix. Share Yours.

Sanderson/JBD

Not because I think JBD is good but because it’s one of the few things they haven’t tried this season and maybe they have good enough chemistry that it works better than Sanderson/Hamonic.

Need to get Sanderson going above all else.

Worth trying

Bring up Yak and take out Hammer.

Make everyone accountable, they should play every game as if it was a playoff game from now. If someone is not giving it all every shift he sits.

This is my core (players we keep because we will be looking for the same player if we trade them away down the line)

1. Brady 2. Stutzle 3. Sanderson 4. Ullmark 5. Jensen

Trades I would try and make:

1. Norris - I always liked him but Dorion gave him too much $$$ and some teams around the league are desperate for center help. He has an injury history, but he has been relatively productive and has no signs of issues with his shoulder. I would look for a legit two-way winger to play in the top 6.

3. Shutdown 4-5 D—We need a big, strong shutdown RD. Tanev would have been perfect, but we need to find someone similar who can jump up and play the top four minutes. Zub is highly injury-prone, and we can't rely on Hamonic/Jensen to play that role.

3. Get Pinto help! I'm stunned to see his game drop off so much this year. We may need to acquire some actually good 3rd line forwards to play with him. Amadio is awful, Cousins is not the answer, Greig is still trying to learn how to play consistently & Perron is washed. Gregor to me is a 4th liner.

4. Trade Chabot in the offseason - I know he has been much better with Jensen, but he has 1 goal this season and unlike Sanderson who is much younger, you expect him to be in his prime earning that $8M paycheque by scoring more.

Only 4 teams are pacing at over .666 but yeah sure they can go 2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1... lol

...and I'm the one with arguments made of straw.

 

[DrEasy]

Name the 1st thing you would change in December. @Gil Gunderson excluded lol

Bring in an experienced POHO who is not part of their groupthink.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Play Pinto at RW with Stutzle and G/T
Play Greig at C with Cousins and Amadio

 

[Yak]

I'm not a fortune teller so I won't make claims about what will happen, but i did see you making straw man claims of what needed to happen.

What they need to do is win enough games to finish ahead of 8 other EC teams after 82 games, how they go about it, what order they get the points in is irrelevant,

I don't see that happening. There is no consistency to this team that give us any indication. We are capable of even playing .500 hockey moving forward.
