Linus Ullmark - Death knell of the Dorion/Melnyk era

[Oneiro]

Sens next task is to add the right veteran depth guys to glue it all together. And they probably need to replenish the pool a bit.

I hope they break through and make it this year.

No, the core is rotten to the core...there's a loser mentality there (similar to ~2014 Edmonton core) that Ullmark alone isn't enough to salvage. Still lots of work to be done.

lol you’re talking about the habs dude, that has the rotten core, if you can call it a core.

Sens live rent free with you, and your username.

Wow that’s a bad take. He’s been their best defenseman.

That may be true, but I hope for Ottawa that he's one of those guys that can keep it going into his late 30s.
You're competing even more against time in a long season with a playoff run.

- Ullmark trade and extension looks like a fantastic move
- Green looks like a very solid hire. Going to be a Jack Adams finalist if the team sneaks into a playoff spot.

Show me a great goalie and I will show you a good coach. - Don Cherry.

you cant judge trades after just a few months.

Good for ullmark and Ottawa.

Are Dorion and Melnyk still there? No? The era has ended and a new one has begun. I'm not holding Dorion/Melnyk over the current FO/players and neither should anyone else.

If you read the OP it's referring to the "stink" ie legacy problems left by Dorion Melnyk.

Not solving their goalie problem was high on that list. So was never winning traded for established players. Ullmark seems to be breaking that trend.

He is not only saving pucks, now he sets up his skaters for goals.

Replace Hamonic with a real Top 4 D and this team is cooking.
