Confirmed with Link: Senators sign David Dziurzynski

I thought he played ok during his call-up, but still do not see him more than just a call-up occasionally.
 
Good signing, likely a Bingo player. I thought his career might be over after that knock out punch last yr. Up to that point he played fairly well & unless they move Smith to LW there could still be an opening on the 4th LW spot. I really don't like to see small players on our 4th line. It gives Ottawa some more size & muscle on the 4th line, DD is also a pretty good defensive player & is a hard player to play against. I wish him well.
 
He's done better than I expected, but unless his offense progresses significantly next season, I think it will be his last on the Senators

He's definitely an AHL quality player, but he isn't NHL material yet.
 
he's lost his waiver exemption.

it will be interesting to see if he makes it to bingo or someone takes a gamble on him.

The nice thing about waivers is that for a team to acquire DD, they'll likely have to send down a promising prospect themselves or expose one of their own players to waivers which makes it unlikely they'll take on a guy like DD.


On the other hand, guys like Borowiecki, DaCosta, etc... someone MIGHT take an interest in.

He needs to learn how to fight. His best bet of sticking in the NHL at this point is if he can hold his own with some of the heavies of the league. Hopefully the Senators told him to go take boxing lessons in the off season.

I agree, he needs to work on that part of his game. But some time ago, I was arguing that Ottawa needed a heavyweight enforcer & of course most here took exception to that. But someone on here, it may have even been you, said that DD could take care of guys like McClaren & Fraser. Shortly after that fight BM went out & got Kassian who IMO has done his job very well so far. But I would like to see another tough guy in the lineup especially at the 4th line LW spot or Smith could move over to LW & they get a centre. DD did have a reputation of being pretty tough, I remember the Sens even bragged about it when they first signed him & he has had some fights in the AHL. Maybe someone who saw him fight in Bingo can comment. I think he did the wrong thing at the wrong time against an experienced fighter & paid the price. Even McClaren said it had happened to him before.

I like the idea of going after Gaustad for some obvious reasons, he is big, he is tough, he blocks shots, he hits, he is great at faceoffs & would improve our puck possession time significantly, he is defensively responsible & he is good on the PK. I doubt he would cost that much, I believe he is around 30 yrs old & he is a northeast divison veteran who would know what he is getting into.

Ya, I really underrated McLaren. I only saw a few of his fights and in them he didn't really come across as a big puncher like Orr or McGrattan. So I thought the biggest risk was that McLaren would simply land more punches than Dziuryznski, I guess I was wrong.

Also I like the idea of adding a bit more toughness to the lineup. Although the best option might just be to sign a heavyweight for Binghamton and bring them up for the few games where we may actually need some added toughness such as playing the Leafs, Flyers and Bruins. I read recently that both Yablonski and Gillies mutually agreed with Vitayaz of the KHL to terminate their contracts, so they are now free agents. I don't know whether they are going to stay in the KHL or head back to North America, but I would be interested in bringing either of them in on a two way contract.

McClaren also had a size & reach advantage, as most said DD took on the wrong guy out of his weight class at that point & paid the price. I think he could come back from that but he really needs to learn to defend himself better.

Hey, on another point, Kramer was fun to watch at the development camp, he was one of the few guys that were joking around & having a real fun time out there. A couple of times he did take a shot at a guy, not a hard shot to hurt, but a shot to stay do that again & we're going. One of those guys was Sdao who turned around & laughed when he saw it was Kramer. I bet he is one of those characters in the room who loosens everyone else up, whenever he scored he would always raise both hands in the air while skating around yelling. He was hilarious, I hope he does well.
 
I like Dziurzynski. He reminds of Lou Franceschetti if anyone remembers him.......lots of energy and hustle without a whole lot of results like a lot of 4th liners.

I'm hoping he has some kind of NHL career but If he does I think it'll be elsewhere. The competition's pretty intense here and it's not likely to get any easier. I think he 's got what it takes to play for someone though.
