Confirmed Signing with Link: [OTT] Drake Batherson re-signs with the Senators (6 years, $4.975 AAV)

[LeapOnOver]

Ah yes I am the highly sensitive person. Good luck recovering from your loss of faith in humanity.

Are you demanding me to recover?

 

[glenbuis]

I knew instead of getting a scouting report i would get snark. Should have known to not expect more from humanity. Thanks for reaffirming but dislike for human beings.

hey i did apologize right away . i'm not even a sens fan man but the drake is one of the sens most exciting players . again sorry for any disrespect

Already a good deal and going to be a steal probably this season.
Smart of Batherson to just guarantee himself a very cool 30M and not have to worry about possibly multiple contracts and pinching every possible penny during his whole prime.

 

[SensontheRush]

Marner (yes playoffs performances and such) is more of a play maker.. look at point totals lol.
I find it so funny that Sens fans are chirping the leafs and such when they live in a glass house

No one has a glass house relative to the Leafs.

Anyone who thinks this is a risky contract simply doesn’t know much about Batherson. It’s not really much more complicated than that.
To be fair people are generally focused on their own teams so who cares - but any Sens fan knows what Batherson is all about and what he brings to the table.

20 goals 50pts + to IMO this year, while playing 200ft 2 way physical hockey.
I think he’s got 30 goal 70pt upside. He just does it all.

Good contract.. Drake is a better passer than I'd expected.

Well now that isn't how opinions work..

 

[Chabot84]

Good contract for Batherson imo we will not regret it

 

[topshelf15]

Unsure what people are expecting,it was either a bridge which carries risk of paying more later..
Or giving him a longer term deal with the risk of him never living up to the deal...
These are the two options every team faces with these signings...No need to bash as everyone else team does the exact same thing

 

[KevinRedkey]

He's already worth that IMO

 

[SpezDispenser]

He's already worth that IMO

Agreed.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Terrible

Reminiscent of the Colin White deal. Virtually the same amount, same term, paid after one good year.

It alright not a steal would have waited and gave him a one year contract. With what happened with Colin White and him breaking out in the North Division which at times was not the greatest of hockey. Also have to consider 15 of his 34 point were powerplay points and his shooting percentage was a little high so not sure if that's sustainable. Will probably end up being fair deal for both sides would be very surprised if he out plays this deal imo.

Wonder if your opinion has changed? Hes quietly becoming the guy in Ottawa. for 5M a season. For the next 6 years.

Definitely helps when guys like Stutzle and Tkachuk are laying eggs every other night.

Hes become the guy in ottawa in 14 games? Wow...Things are bleak...
Imagine if he slumps for 14 games... I guess he's going to the AHL by these standards.

It's Ottawa, what do you expect. Things have been bleak since 2007 so it's easy to get excited over the smallest of things.

If he finishes close to ppg over 82 games then sure, he's "the guy" but for now he's just on a hot streak.

Lmao you’re such a boob. Impressive consistency, though.

7pts in 11 games for Brady after missing camp… 2nd best pace and 3rd in scoring if he was a Hab, despite them playing 16 games.

Yeah… bleak.

Why don’t you read the thread where myself and others predicted he would lead the team in scoring months ago? Or his very impressive season last year?

Dumb comment from someone who doesn't know what he is talking about.

You think he'd have the same production if he was on the habs? I highly doubt that.

Lmao yeah how could he ever compete with your incredible roster with guys like Drouin and Hoffman hogging minutes

Every post you make is funny in its own way. Never change. It’s like playing one-on-one with Vern Troyer (RIP!)

It's not so much about competing, it's moreso about the ineptitude of our coaching staff. This team simply cannot generate goals and Batherson certainly isn't "the guy" that would lead them out of their scoring slump...he certainly wouldn't be near ppg. Anyways, this is getting off-topic.

Batherson has done exactly that for Ottawa. And I was talking about Brady and his “egg laying”

Hilarious to see you talking about going off topic. Re-read your posts lol, please

 

[sens13]

it's a steal but still in the end it just balances tkachuk's massive overpayment so no net positive

Not sure why people still respond to this poster. It's all uneducated garbage meant to flame.
