He will probably get a ton of playing time in Ottawa which is great for him. Chicago has to many forwards who need to get moved to relieve cap space and open up enough available slots for a potential future move.

Nobody on the Sens can play defense because the coaching staff apparently can't implement a defensive system, so he'll fit right in.

Put Gaudette in a position to succeed and he could be a good middle six option.
He might be amazing with pinto..

trial/errors on centers I see... after Gambrell, Gaudette. COVID and IRs have completely depleted the team this year.
Having two players with a combined 6 points in 33 games who people think should be in our top 6 pretty much explains why we got Gaudette ......

Having the youngest team in the league with little depth has a lot to do with Ottawa’s problems this season, losing Pinto and White hurt as well.
The forward prospects that Ottawa does have are not ready to compete for a job in the NHL quite yet, I don’t understand why the Senators said they were done rebuilding when they clearly need to keep drafting to refill the cupboard with quality prospects.

don't need luck when you have crystals

Ottawa's main problem is at D. When you're giving guys like MDZ, Holden, Josh Brown, Zaitsev, Mete minutes in and out of your top-4/6; you're asking to get pummeled. Ottawa currently has Chabot and Zub who are solid most nights; the rest mentioned above would normally be 6th/7th Ds on top of the line teams...at best.

I think those crystals where Gaudette's welcome ran out in Vancouver. I think they were used to try to prevent COVID.
The sentiment of my original post remains though, I wish the Sens well.

I think it's a very obvious phrase all teams intentionally deceive their fans into believing there competitiveness .
You need some veterans to compliment the kids. Can’t just ride with a bunch of college aged kids and expect them to do all of the heavy lifting.
That’s a key Part of the rebuild is supplementing the kids with good vets but that costs money as no one wants to be Part of a rebuild when they are in their 30’s if they can get similar money elsewhere.

He's starting at 3C. Could honestly see him bounce between lines 2-4, but the team is so bad at C right now they likely give him an extended look there.

Hilarious that a guy who calls himself the Hockey_Gaud is constantly on waivers

Poor Tim. Constantly has to carry those two offensive black holes in Paul and Brown.
That line hasn't worked in weeks if not most of the season. DJ needs to get his head out of his arse and give Tim one of the top 3 guys on line 1.
His development went really well when he was with North Eastern in the NCAA. They have a great system there. As soon as he signed with the Canucks his development almost completely stopped. He wasnt put in a position to succeed, he trained his butt off but had no mentorship, no leadership and poor coaching leading him nowhere. Perhaps some of it is on him too, thats for sure. For his sake hopefully he can find someone patient with him to get him back on a solid path. For starters, should NOT be a 3C, he is much better suited as a 2RW or 3RW
