His PIMPG is really underwhelming. Only 2 minutes this season!

Zub is definitely broken from all the carrying on the RD. Jensen will break next if we don't get some more RD help smh.

Without Zub, we in trouble on that RD side. Staois work the phones, do something if you can.

Over the weekend I was trying to think about who in the NHL the 2017 to 2024 Senators compare to. Outside of Buffalo and Detroit I can't think of anyone. At least Detroit has won Stanley Cups in my lifetime. The most generous thing I can think of is comparing them to the NFL's Chicago Bears or Carolina Panthers. Can anyone think of anything else?

Bears are showing signs of life finally. They are close to being decent they just happen to play in the best division in football.

We're not quite as bad as the Panthers.

If anything we're the Jets. Every offseason we are going to be a playoff team, people are picking us to win the division and so on. Then the puck drops and the year basically plays out the same as the last one.

Don't think there was that much humanly possible to do. This team was horribly owned, managed and coached for years. The support, depth and leadership/veteran help has been really subpar too and it doesn't look like it's much better this season.

The only thing we have learned is that Chabot is not superhuman and can't do it all by himself? It's a story we have read so many times before when players like Duchene, Zibanejad, Stone, Gustavsson, Chychrun etc become much better elsewhere


It would have been such a stupid idea to re-sign/claim Brannstrom!

Play Brannstrom on RD, play him on LD when a LHD is injured. Was the perfect band-aid for this team.

You are pretty much saying Chabot plays to the level of his teammates and shouldn't count on him to be our best player let alone our best D.

No I am not saying "he plays to the level of his teammates" but at the same time, like everybody, he needs better linemates to be better. That's why he has played his best hockey when paired with DeMelo, Zub and now Jensen. That's all we could provide him during all this time.

Every player has his limits to what they can do. This is not basketball. Even McDavid can't win a Cup by himself. Even if he gets the help from Draisaitl and Bouchard.

Sanderson is supposed to be our best D.

No but McDavid can be awesome by himself. You are either driving the bus or you are a passenger. In 8 seasons he's only been a passenger. Sanderson is already the driver. If his linemates suck then he sucks is what you are saying.

If he’s not playing better than Zub and Jensen why is he making twice as much ?
