I keep hearing how Ottawa is so improved. Obv not the best judge of that in these two games but they were 27 points out of a playoff spot and you don’t make up that gap by just acquiring a small one dimensional sniper and an over the hill ginger

Their top 6 is pretty sick and Forsberg had an approx 12 gsax on a shitty defensive team. I'll be taking these guys seriously this season. We know first hand that above average offense, hard working forwards and goaltending to offset bad D can take you from last place to the playoffs.

I'll be taking them seriously. I was saying it yesterday... offense is going to be pretty good. I think along with who they got the younger guys are maturing so they should do well there.

However the D still isn't looking all that great to me. The goaltending still needs to prove itself too. He did well last year but goalies can be all over unless it's basically Vasilevskiy or Shesterkin.

They may surprise but that's a large gap to cover in one season. Everything has to gel and come together.

Well Stutzle, Tkachuk and Norris are 20, 22 and 23 respectively and are all getting better. Talbot will play better than Murray did in net. And with better scoring balance I doubt they are affected like last year when their first line missed a combined total of 55 games. Playoff team? Who knows but they will be a lot better.

It was definitely a big gap from last wild card to 9th let alone where Sens finished lol. But relatively speaking their little baby battle of last wild card is a reasonable test they have a chance to pass. Definitely not any where ready for the battles that compose our tests.

One thing with the Sens' top 6 is that all 6 of them were very reliant on PP production for their nice offensive years last year.

But two of them at least won't be getting that top unit PP time this year. Probably Batherson and Norris maybe.
