Confirmed Trade: [OTT/NSH] Austin Watson for 2021 4th round pick

[MarkusKetterer]

Is he s good 4th liner?

What's the rundown on this guy

Good 4th liner. Hits. Will fight. Good defensively. 10-12 goals a year. Talks a lot of shit which drives people nuts and draws a bunch of penalties (for and against).

Okay good we have a whole in the bottom 6 RW spot. Fits the style of play DJ likes

Piece of crap owner trades for a piece of crap... makes sense

He's just starting his contract extension . Seems Nashville is going to try to add something big and need every penny of capspace for it.

Taylor Hall to Nashville ?

Would be a textbook Poile move.

 

[Ramboshaw]

Well done by the Sens. They are doing a sneaky good Job rebuilding and reconstructing.

Good 3rd liner, can PK, can drop gloves

And is really good at taking stupid penalties at the absolutely worse time.

That being said, he has an amazing recovery story, as does his wife.

That’s a touchy subject with people on here

A few years ago I thought he might break through and become a Kesler-like winger. Too bad he lost focus and regressed significantly.

They just had two of the top five picks, I'm not sure I'd call this Sens offseason "sneaky"

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

I dont know much about this guy, but reading what people write about him certainly has me interested!

Sounds like the kinda player I love to have on my team. Coming from a guy who adored jerks like Chris Neil, Jarko Ruutu and Matt Carkner.

I think he was implying the moves they've made aside from their two big picks.

Dorian has certainly been busy

 

[Langdon Alger]

Does this mean Connor Brown is now a top six forward on this team? I hope not. Our RW depth right now

Batherson
Brown
Watson

I think Watson jumps to the head of the line to cold cock, Melnick

 

[Bounces R Way]

You might take the two points but the Sens are planning on getting their pound of flesh.

Of course C.Brown is in Ottawa's top 6 right now.

Nashville taking a run at Hall?

 

[hido]

That’s a touchy subject with people on here

It shouldn’t be touchy. People in Nashville know what really happened and his wife went on Julie Turris and Ida Ekholm’s podcast and was brutally honest about the incident and her and Watty’s substance abuse problems. He’s a good guy that’s very involved in the community.

As a hockey player, I’m glad we’ve moved on. He had key moments during the cup run and was our only tough guy for awhile but he had no purpose on the team the last two years.

Well they were sneaky because I’m pretty sure Dorion never thought the Sharks pick would be a choice between Byfield or Stutzle.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Nice trade by Sens

 

[Langdon Alger]

Well, that’s certainly not ideal.

I’m not really gonna get into it, because I don’t care either way. Just that people see things in black and white, and different shades of grey don’t exist.

But yea, I love this pickup for the Sens. They’re killing it this offseason

He is not good defensively. He will hit, sometimes without much thought sadly. And he will fight, though I'm not sure he's ever won a fight in the NHL. He tries hard and he'll block shots. If you like fancy stats and are a Sens fans, do NOT look.

 

[jaric1862]

Sign Matt Martin and Kyle Clifford, and I will tune into every single Sens game.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Happy with the trade. Even happier with the return.

 

[NyQuil]

Funny that we gave you Boro and you have us Watson.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Smart move by Dorian. Teams will pay a hefty price for him at the deadline if he performs well enough. I love the grit he plays with.
