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

Who amongst us wouldn’t love to play one-on-one against Vern Troyer?

Vern Troyer wouldn't waste his time on that bored housewife.

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.

He'd be Montreal's best forward not sure what you're trying to get at. This is looking like an amazing deal for the Sens.

I mean, he'd be their best forward, bar none.

Back on topic, Batherson is great.

For real. Brings me back to Subban vs Karlsson.. ah the throwbacks.

There's plenty of offensive ineptitude in Ottawa and that isn't stopping Batherson.

Hes become the guy in ottawa in 14 games? Wow...Things are bleak...

16 points in 14 games

 

[Blacephalon]

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

Still can't believe Montreal picked KK over Brady, what a garbage drafting team lmao

I'm not sure how that guy hasn't been banned, its obvious his angle is always a troll angle.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

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

Tkachuk take away situational circumstances ( RFA vs UFA,cap structure ETC ) is being payed around the same as Stamkos, Hayes, Duchene, Johansson, Hieskanen, Skinner, etc I think he’s locked up at a good number.

Throw in the 2.5 for Zub and the guy really had a decent summer

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

Every single team in the league would take Batherson and this contract without hesitation. He's a great player.

I've been here for years and that guys kink is talking against other teams and trying to get a reaction.

Small mind.

Even funnier when you consider he's a Habs fan and his handle is ottawa lmao.

I got a warning for calling him out for trolling once

 

[Imnotagoodposter]

He’s one of the worst posters on this site and brings down the quality of the overall discussions every time

 

[Avaholic29]

What a steal this deal was.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

What a steal this deal was.

Agreed, he's the best Sen most nights to my eyes .

 

[BradyTkachucky]

What a steal this deal was.

It balances out Brady's massive overpayment.

That's ok - we had some NYR fans that didn't want to take him if he dropped to us that year. Of course, most of that talk when before the season end when it looked like we'd have anywhere from at high as 5, but still...

 

[Xspyrit]

Well, it looks like some people were hard sleeping on this guy. His talent has been obvious at the moment he skated in the AHL (and well, in junior too if you followed him in the Q)

I got a warning for calling him out for trolling once

Last time I called out an (obvious) troll, I lost my like ability for like 3 months...

Anyway, gotta feel sad for these people who are fueled by hate, particularly for such an insignificant thing as a rival hockey team

as a habs fan i second this . there is not a top six in the league that he wouldn't make better . if his meteoric development continues there won't be a top line he wouldn't improve in two years .

[swiftwin]
