Effortless sexy.
You just take Dahlin right? He's going to be an elite defenceman and you can trade Ceci or Chabot or whomever. Dahlin + Karlsson on the same team would be sweeeeeeeeet.

Unless somehow the Senators do not have Dahlin ranked 1, they will and should take him no matter what.
We cannot talk to Karlsson until July 1st 2018 which is after the draft. So outside of tampering, or Karlsson requesting a trade, we won't now whether he'll be a Senator long term at the draft. There'll always be opportunities to trade Chabot, Dahlin, or whoever in the future to get whatever we need.

Is Dahlin that much better than Chabot that we wouldn't be better off without a top 5 pick forward and serviceable roster player?

No. You keep Chabot Karlsson and Dahlin. You definitely trade Ceci

I didn't factor in the not being able to speak with Karlsson part.....certainly a big factor and you may be correct

In the first round of the draft, you always take the best player available. Passing up Dahlin for a forward is like stepping over a $20 to pick up a $10 because you have no tens in your wallet.

Boucher needs to go here. Like. Finally they’re saying it on the postgame show. Boucher won’t change. Not for a period. Not for a game. Not for a season. Get him out.

He's made a bunch of terrible moves, and if he had any sense of self-awareness, he'd know he's in no position to call anyone out. That's my problem with it.

Why would you get rid of Boucher now? Short term pain for long term gain.

I'm very much enjoying AJ's ranting on the post-game show about the coach. Feels good when someone in Ottawa with an audience tells it like it is.

Ugh, losing like that to the laffs of all teams. It’s like that time I made this awesome sandwich and a dog stole it. Had bacon and avocados in it too. f*** that dog.
This style. Any sort of philosophy he currently has. We lost 11 straight. Each game the same crap.
Also I answered for the sake of discussion. You asked a dumb question because you know full well what I meant

Leave Garrioch alone
The players fought tonight. No one mailed it in. But as a group there’s simply not enough talent there to compete in today’s nhl. This has nothing to do with accountability. To me they’ are playing like Boucher wants them too. He needs to build a bettter team and the coach needs to play a style conducive to winning f***ing games. Not not losing them.

You are right I know exactly what you mean, I also know the majority around here can't breakdown whats happening infront of them.
What's his style?

My thoughts are pretty much this. I loved the Boucher hire, but for a variety of reasons, I was wrong. Maybe I just didn't know enough about him at the time but he is too stubborn, his system is too draining on the players for 82 games+playoffs, then that is made worse by his unwillingness to play young players who didn't grind through the playoffs last year and thus should be fresher.
People can blame the players for quitting....but why did the players quit? That's the question. I think it's Boucher's intensive system, and the Karlsson injury, along with our terrible schedule this season following a deep playoff run have expedited the issue.
There's evidence that key players on this team can be pesky and strong willed. A lot of these players rallied through the greatest regular season run in modern NHL history three years ago (Hammond run), last year they rallied through tremendous off ice adversity and played some clutch hockey to close out the season and clinch a playoff spot when multiple players were hurt.
If there's any hope, Dorion is keeping Boucher because he knows this season is done, and with parity being the way it is in the NHL, we could bounce back and make the playoffs next season, meaning this is a rare opportunity for us to get an elite player at the top of the draft. Dorion doesn't want to spark the team by firing Boucher, and will do it at the end of the season.
I do not buy the "OMG WE JUST NEED TO GO 56-1-1 AND WE CAN STILL MAKE IT IN" talk, that's Dorion fronting. This team needs to inspire fans to buy tickets and can't proclaim the season done this early when there are lots of home dates left. Teams that think everything is ayyyokay and a streak will get them back in don't hide away in a bunker and have meetings where they try to rank every single player and asset an organization has.
If Dorion doesn't fire Boucher in the summer, then I am scared.
