Can Columbus keep it up and be a darkhorse for passing Montreal? These OT points are total killers. Arizona could be a point ahead of us, Ottawa one away with two games in hand, and Columbus 4 points away with one game in hand.

Or even just a young c that can be dominant and slow down the game .
Damn acl ! Im convinced we would be a playoff team with dach ! Though I would agree with the one that will say another top pick is better for the long term

I feel a little bad for Dach when he comes back. Some of our fans are putting giant expectations on him compared to what he’s actually accomplished so far and that’s never good for any player that plays here as it comes with a lot of unneeded pressure.

He has an nhl contract because of hype and projected future, not bad for a guy with busted wrists and knees nobody wanted anymore. The trade-off is not bad, I’d take it.

He needs to rock it next year if he wants to be negotiating much of a raise though.

The elite ones cherish the pressure .
I have been a fan of his from when we traded for him and absolutely no doubt how good he will become .
That said , I won’t panic if he don’t come out flying after missing a full year

I think everybody would just be happy if dach could play a full season or the majority of it, whether that be 40-50-60 points is the least of our worries with him

You never know, they March schedule isn't that bad. 3x Pittsburgh, Ottawa, San Jose, Arizona, Nashville.. They have a shot at catching us for sure, but that's also assuming we stop getting points here and there

You seem reasonable, but lots of fan here are saying he is our real number one center in front of Nick... I just want him to play a full season, it was really a bummer when he went out. If he can become a 55-60pts who play 60games+ per season, I'll be more than happy.

Yeah for sure; Suzuki has had a few years ahead of Dach to get really good too; not a fair comparison. I have Suzuki as the superior player by a fair margin nonetheless, but still.

So much missed key dev years, I’d take a solid 50pt 2-way 2nd center struggling on the dot and be happy personally for next year. He’s on the right team to get quality ice-time and lots of reps in any case.
 
The dreaded and generational Ottawa offense needs to pick it up even more and score about 6 goals per game from here onward.

Get it Brady, go Timmy!!!

That puts us at 70 pts, so we could definitely pick up an additional 6-10 pts and still be fine.

I'll keep this updated every week. So we should only get 2 pts out of this weekend.

It makes absolutely no sense.

Look at their forward core. Tkachuk, Giroux, Batherson, Tarasenko, Norris, Stutzle, to which you add excellent players like Greig and Pinto. Something is rotten there.

All offense. No defense. And the D core is also all offense. And the goaltending is atrocious.

That's the reason why i don't want to draft a guy like Parekh over a guy like Dickinson.

How is it possible that Ottawa could end up with less points than the Habs?

As a team they have the 2nd most giveaways per 60 minutes, 3rd worse GA per game, and 2nd worse PK (Worse then even us).

I don't really watch much of Ottawa as I tend to watch more Western teams when not watching the Habs, but I would imagine their problem is that their top guys don't want to play the game the right way and are still playing junior style hockey where they care more about being flashy and putting up points then they do the little details needed to win games and/or they are weak mentally and basically give up when things go against them.

I mean on paper, Sanderson/Chychrun/Chabot/Zub seems like a decent top 4. Not good enough for a cup contender, but it should be for the playoffs. Also it seems like every goalie that leaves the Sens organization plays very well elsewhere so I don't think it's a goalie problem.

Goalie development problem,
And too many offensive D problem

What took us to the cup was suzuki+caufield + PRICE + 4 giant D + more Carey Price

Last year, their goalie was Cam Talbot who's playing very well this year. The year before, Gustavsson who was lights out last year. Before that, Joey Daccord who's excellent this year. Seems to happen often where they get "unlucky" with their lack of quality goaltending when these guys have done very well recently.

Yes their defense isn't ideal and you do need giant defense to help your goalie. Chychrun is similar to Matheson, Chabot has really fallen off, but Sanderson and Zub are solid top 4 dmen.

I don't think they are a cup contender, but that roster should easily make the playoffs.
