Games tonight affecting Sens
- Thread starter mianjo
- Start date
Would this be a correct recap of deadline decisions for our playoff competition:
- Bruins sold off (Marchand, Coyle, Carlo, etc.)
- Islanders sold (Nelson)
- Canadiens stood pat
- Detroit mostly stood pat
- Blue Jackets mostly stood pat (acquired Kunin)
- New Jersey bought a bit (Dumoulin, Sprong, Glass) but nothing that makes up for the loss of Hughes
- New York Rangers improved (J.T. Miller, Soucy)
I was hoping, especially given our upcoming schedule, that teams like Columbus, Detroit or Montreal, who we're going to face a few times the rest of the way, would be in a position to sell at the deadline. But at least they didn't do much or anything to improve either.
Given the recent trajectory of our competition and what they did at the deadline, it seems that the Rangers should be our toughest competition the rest of the way. Good thing we started the final stretch by beating them, in our last game against them no less!
edit: I didn't take into account the strength of schedule, which apparently says that the Rangers have one of the toughest schedules the rest of the way. Even better!
