Seriously? This might be the funniest unintentional comedy in the history of this site.

Three years and you think you know more people who have been hockey professionals for decades? Even though you've given bad take after bad take in this thread.

I'd love to see this "elaborate" database.
I died laughing at that

Defence this year is weak, but Sanderson is coming and that's a huge piece. And Zub is amazing.

Gustavsson is looking good, Mads Søgaard looks good. Goaltending is a strong spot actually.

I'm not sure Ottawa will make the playoffs, but I think we'll be hard to play against and adding a guy like Boucher will make us really hard to play against in a couple of years.

Good luck with your empty stands, your stingy landlord, Mads Sogaard, Lassi Thomson, Tyler Boucher, Zack Ostapchuk, Ben Roger.

Honestly I hope a Wright, Bedard or Michkov come to Ottawa. I think it will take the arrival of a player of this caliber to correct the mistakes made.

With Stutzle, Ottawa already has an extremely talented player. Chabot, Sanderson, Tkachuk ... But for now, that won't be enough. Good luck Ottawa's fans.

No kidding, I was a professional for 15 years in France. I give a lot of passion and interest when it comes to talent detection.

I do it for my pleasure but also to exchange with people who share the same passion.

Some teams are very close to my vision. LA, Carolina. Ottawa is literally the opposite.

As already said, the poor results of Ottawa, I do not invent them. I see.

My opinion does not please because it is not easy to hear that his favorite franchise is crashing. OK.
But the purpose of the site is to give an opinion.

If you assume that users have no credibility and Scouts are always right, I don't see the point of such a site.

As a member of the hockey community, I will disappoint you. Some Scouts have never been pro and are there by relationship. A team of Scouts can have a problem with functioning because there are no coherent plans, choices well done as a team because everyone is trying to pull the blanket over themselves. There is a lot of ego warfare. It doesn't help.

I might be a clown but if I had been at the helm of Ottawa, you have the list of players that I would have selected on D-Day.

Ah yes, the mighty LA Kings, who have won a single playoff game in 7 seasons. Much better spot than Ottawa.

Alright, who cares. Hopefully we are all around in 3-5 years to soberly evaluate Ottawa's drafting in the 2019-2022 period. We can agree to disagree until then.

Anyways, does anyone else agree with me that Boucher could go top 5 in a re-draft?

Why would you draft a bottom sixer at 10th overall?

What do you think Sens draft staff would say if you asked them that question?

I think Ottawa specializes in the later rounds, and typically those players take longer to develop (might be fake news, but I think it’s true).

I think we should wait a little while until we judge their selections and say you’ve out scouted us, which so far you have. But thank the lord and saviour McJesus that players don’t stop developing at this point.

Ah yes, the mighty LA Kings, who have won a single playoff game in 7 seasons. Much better spot than Ottawa.

The team receives the descent of a golden period with 2 titles with a group of players who are 35 years old today (Quick, Doughty, Kopitar, Williams, Carter, Brown). Not the case of Ottawa.

No turn 1 choice given for a player who did not stay.

No first round pick missed even though I thought Stutzle was better than Byfield and sensed Zegras was better than Turcotte.

Especially their decisions make sense when you analyze the choices side by side. I understand the overall logic.

On the last 3 drafts, a very interesting and deep center axis (Byfield, Turcotte, Pinelli, Helenius).

Very offensive wingers who seem complementary to me.

Clarke, Grans, Kirsanov, Bjornfot. I love.

The team has had bad seasons but they haven't made bad choices and above all are able to attract good players. Danault, Arvidsson. A goalkeeper won in No. 1.

Lots of things Ottawa doesn't have.

As a late pick, there has only been Batherson in 10 years. What is Batherson worth next to a 4th pick given for nothing?

Never considered Ottawa a team with brilliant recruiters.

Stutzle and Tkachuk being obvious very high choices, I ignore them.

Sanderson rather than Drysdale, Thomson rather than Heinola, Sogaard in 37 - the only good deal is Pinto in 32 and Chabot in 18 since 10 drafts.

Not at all convinced by the quality of the goalkeepers. The probability of Boucher being up to a 10th pick is indefinitely lower than the probability of missing out on a franchise goalie (Wallstedt, Cossa) or a quality cross (Sillinger).

This team has not been doing well for a long time. Bad recruiting team, failed exchanges, unable to recruit quality free agents despite the freedom of the salary cap

The 2021/22 season is going to be very complicated again.

I have grown used to finding decisions consistently wrong in recent years. It's horrible. Even when they get good players, the franchise is unable to keep them or make the investment profitable.
.

Because Sanderson is no good? Hey have you noticed teams are turning big and defensive again?
How about you let him join the NHL and play before deciding it was a bad pick

Thank goodness Dirtyfighter is here to basically tell Sens fans that Boucher is a bust.

I guess Boucher should probably just quit hockey now.

It's not Boucher who should stop. But incompetent people are responsible in the Ottawa franchise.

Drysdale was a better choice. Other solutions seemed better to me in other positions. I had Sanderson in good esteem but not top 5.
So I never said it was bad but there were better possibilities in 5. More so for Boucher.

You don’t know if he was the better choice or not. Nobody knows yet

At draft +1 I still have Drysdale ahead of Sanderson. I will not wait 15 years to restart the debate. It will no longer be of interest.

Moreover, if it was necessary to wait until the end of the players' careers to assess the choices that would make no sense.

Who is interested in the decisions taken in 2004 ?

I'm surprised at guys who go to this site without accepting the concept.

If no one can give their opinion, there is a problem.

If all you would have done is give your opinion, you wouldn't be engaged in so many conversations. You have been going on about the incompetence and even went to the point where you listed the players you would have selected and said those picks were better. That's not an opinion, that's arrogance.

I'm not the only one who thinks that Ottawa missed its draft, didn't do anything in the free agent market, didn't make a good deal, that the stands are half empty and that sporting results are bad.
