Over 2 pts a game ; still 17 years old... No invite to Team Canada not shocking but ...


There is a whole lot to like about this player.

These guys have a new Podcast regarding draft picks. Rocco is a Sens fan


I like Jake O'Brien a lot & he could be the skilled RWer Ott will need to replace Giroux at some point IMO. While he does put up a lot of pts on the PP he is also very skilled with the puck & will get better with age. It's funny, Bill Zonnon LW is a guy I also love the way he plays & would love to see Ott get him in the 2nd rd although they may need to move up to get him. That would be two great picks in next yrs draft who might not take that long to be NHL ready although O'Brien needs to put on some muscle & size. I like Rocco's analysis.

I don’t think so. Staios has said their plan is to push it back as far as possible.
It can only go back one more year. It’s either this year or next year. And if we KNOW this years is in the teens then we can’t risk next years being in the top ten

I think there are a few factors here.

1) If you believe Garrioch, they continue to try to get an extension or have the punishment removed altogether. If true, they will keep pushing until next year.

2) If we are in the teens the team may feel confident we won’t be lower next year. A risk for sure but really we shouldn’t be a bottom 10 team next year.

3) We are looking at some of our key players hitting UFA in the next 2-3 years. We will likely need a prospect or two to come and help us manage the cap at that point. Getting a prospect this year is an added year of development.

I don’t know what they’ll do but they’ve been pretty consistent that they intend on leaving it as long as they can.
