Are there rumours around Fox? Or is this re Tkachuk
Forsberg has given a glimmer of hope that he can continue to progress... I don't think he had a single 5-6 game stretch last year like the one to start this year, where every second game was decent to great ... but he still has too many games where he doesn't give the team much chance to win.
I am hopeful for his sake that he can continue to improve, but from a team perspective it doesn't feel like we can wait much longer. His last 5 games have just been bad.
Alright, fine - make it any RHD Norris-winner in their prime.

I'm not upset he picked Greig, but the Jarventie pick was just so dumb even in hindsight. Kleven over Faber was also not worth it (Either we get a stud RHD if Faber was willing to sign, or if he wasn't, we could have packaged him in a deal for Fiala and signed him long term, avoiding the ADB drama).
Imagine if this happened:
2020 we draft:
Timmy
Jake
Greig
JJ
Faber
We traded Faber and 2 2nds for Fiala
Didn't trade Gustavsson away.
Signed Brännström long term.
Peterka-Stützle-Fiala
Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Greig-Pinto-Perron/Whoever we picked in 2022, maybe Geekie, since he fits our scout's style)
Ostapchuk-Gaudette-Amadio/Joseph
Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen
Brännström-JBD
Gustavsson
Forsberg
Yes, basically imagine if we had a competent GM and competent scouts.

I wonder what the cost on Provorov would be?
If they ate 50% and took back Forsberg (and then waived him), we could make the cap work. He can play LD or RD and is an upcoming UFA.

Not viable.
They’re going to be looking for a 1st with no retention and without a cap dump.
Sens can’t trade their 1st, we aren’t going to be players for good rentals or pickups.

Are forwards the issue with the PK?
There's one big outlier when it comes to GA/60 on our PK, and it's Hamonic.
Norris is good, Giroux and Amadio have been good, there's a bit of a drop off with Greig/Pinto/Gregor, but on the D, the drop of to Hamonic is pretty big.

Jenik is back and looking decent in the AHL. Ostapchuk and Reinhardt look capable of handling 4th line minutes. Crookshank could also play a bottom six role. If we can get something for Cousins I think we should. He's been a nothing burger so far this year but I could see a rebuilding team taking him on to insulate their prospects.
To SJ: Cousins + JBD
To Ottawa: Jan Rutta
Rutta fills in for Zub until he returns, at which time he replaces Hamonic.

unfortunately we know removing hamonic from the lineup is not an option even when fully healthy
have to try and improve that pk somehow

When Zub is in the lineup, Hamonic isn't killing penalties. He's only there because of Zub's injury.
With Zub in the lineup, our PK is running at 78.4%, 84.4 if you exclude the game he was injured 2 mins into.
Without Zub, it;s running at 70%, 66.6% if you include the game he got hurt in.

not sure how accurate this is but i also didnt want to pull up every game because that would be a lot
Travis Hamonic, Ottawa Senators, D - 2024-25 Game Log - NHL
Get up-to-date stats for every game played by Travis Hamonic during the 2024-25 NHL season on CBS Sports.
www.cbssports.com
outside of the home opener, the rangers game and the boston game, hamonic appears to be getting regular pk shifts
i do agree that his time on the pk goes down when zub is in so i guess we play with less fire when that happens but unfortunately its not a situation where hamonic is banished from the pk when zub is in
less fire is always good, but since its not no fire we should try to see if we can shore it up elsewhere to account for that

Jake Evans from MTL would be a nice depth move
SJ has Lillejgren $3M a season until next season.

I’m not gonna lie I never watch the Ducks but in the one game I saw them (versus us), I thought Terry was their best player. He was creating chances everywhere.
We could do worse. I’m mostly against trading any of our top 3 Cs though and I don’t think Anaheim does this anyway.
Ducks wouldn't do that....Pinto seems pretty overrated here. He is most likely a 2nd/3rd line player in his career thats always been his potential. You get Terry a guy who would regularly be on line 1 or 2 and is signed for 7mill long term

Definitely. Much better player offensively, and this team desperately needs scoring
Only RW we have in the entire organization is Batherson, everything else is just mismatched junk we are playing above where they should be
Yeah and then you have no 3C, so you gotta go find one unless you’re trusting Greig in that role which might not be wise just yet.
IMO the team needs one really good winger still but if I’m prioritizing where to spend money it’s on the defense. If the sens could create any offense from the backend they could live with this forward group.
