Is brushing your hair with butter the hot new tiktok trend?Is Severson from NJ Ottawa's target in the offseason?
He isnt really the type of D man they need. He is an offensive puck mover. They need a physical shut down guy that is hard to play against. I know thats not easy to find, but I dont think he should be the target. He would make the team better but unless they have other plans he isnt really the fit.Is Severson from NJ Ottawa's target in the offseason?
He is exactly what the team is missing right now. His ability to turn nothing into something is seriously lacking on this team. He scored alot of momentum changing goals at even strength and short handed. Shame he is done with this organization. Even if he comes back the way they threw him under the bus I doubt he ever considers it. Maybe if Dorion is gone he will.It really sucks that we lost Formenton for nothing because he was this player.
Looking at this purely from his on-ice contributions to the Sens.
There were 5 guys in that hotel room that participated. 4 of them are still playing, 4 of them had contracts. Until the report comes out if ever then we will know. But its pretty obvious the contract situation was a big part of why he isnt in the league right now. He should have signed his QO he got bad advice.We have every reason to think Formenton is a scumbag of the highest order.
We don't know that he is, but considering how valuable he is to this team, that we just didn't bother to even try to sign him makes it pretty clear the organization thinks he did it.
Unless he is publically cleared of wrongdoing, he is never coming back to the NHL.
Why is it you think Batherson is better defensively than debrincat. There’s nothing to tell you this. Only things to tell you the opposite.From my perspective, if I was choosing a player for the long term, I'd choose Batherson.
The reasons:
We already know what we've got. He's a better all around player, despite the anomaly of this season. He's better defensively than DeBrincat.He's a bigger player than DeBrincat. He gets pushed off the puck less, and when he's actually forechecking it is effective.He's a more cost effective choice. In a league where we need centres and high scoring wingers are a like to have. We already have the a winger signed for a reasonable cost in Batherson. I do not want to overpay for DeBrincat.
He's having a terrible season and still have over 40pts. I wouldn't call Batherson useless.
Well it says a lot abut a guy if he gives up playing well and hard if he doesn't like the coach. What about playing for your teammates?Batherson has just given up on DJ. It's amazing most of the other guys haven't followed suite. How can you go out there every night doing the same thing knowing your going to lose.
I think Batherson, under a new coach, can inspire him back to his PPG pace. The guy just needs some motivation and right now there is ZERO motivation in this franchise.
I've not seen DeBrincat playing good defence. I don't think his overall NHL stats suggest it either.Why is it you think Batherson is better defensively than debrincat. There’s nothing to tell you this. Only things to tell you the opposite.
It’s not like Batherson was good defensively before this year.
Debrincat is a legitimately good defensively. Not “he’s good for a scorer”. He’s just good. The ONLY anomaly in this entire situation is debrincat not scoring 40 goals this year lol.
When you have a guy capable of scoring 40 And playing strong defence. You sign him.
He currently has a point more than the guy some here want to pay $9-million.He has 40 points on one of the worst teams in the League. It doesn't mean much.
Then you ain’t watching. Debrincat is the best defensively of all the top 6 Norris excluded.I've not seen DeBrincat playing good defence. I don't think his overall NHL stats suggest it either.

I am watching and I'm not seeing it. I would say Norris aside, Stützle is turning into the best defensive top-six we have. Grieg could be in the future. DeBrincat has spurts where I am like, oh, this is the 40-goal scorer who dominates in all facets of the game. He also has spurts where he is easily picked, easily knocked off the puck and listless.Then you ain’t watching. Debrincat is the best defensively of all the top 6 Norris excluded.
Ok, good to know. I remember reading something that Severson has played in that defensive role while still contributing…I think he is on the 3rd pair now?He isnt really the type of D man they need. He is an offensive puck mover. They need a physical shut down guy that is hard to play against. I know thats not easy to find, but I dont think he should be the target. He would make the team better but unless they have other plans he isnt really the fit.

Likely one of them. But he will be highly sought after in FA as a right shotIs Severson from NJ Ottawa's target in the offseason?
I post roster's with salaries in here somewhat frequently. I just posted a roster in another thread (Batherson or Debrincat Longterm) that keeps Debrincat, signs Pinto to a 10.2.c contract and adds a $6 m RD.Next years lineup starting to shape us as:
Tkachuk-Stützle-Joseph
Debrincat-Norris-Giroux
Grieg-Pinto-Batherson
Kelly-Kastelic-Motte
That seems like a pretty balanced forward corps when healthy! With new systems and Debrincat returning to normal scoring %s… watch out. If we can upgrade Kelly/Katelic with cheap FAs then great.
Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-TBD
Bränstrom-JBD
If we can acquire a RHD (free agency or using all available draft picks and players outside these line projections) to slot in with Chabot on the 2nd pair next year, we are ready to play meaningful games in November next year!!
Talbot
Forsberg
Think we go with same goalies as this year, and reasonable for a bounceback with a better defensive system in place via new coaching staff. Also think Talbot will be cheaper to re-sign than to trade or get another in FA.
- Cam Talbot will be a goalie to watch between now and March 3. Some teams are debating a move in net for extra security and Talbot checks some boxes. I wonder if LA takes a look, if the Sens eat half of Talbot’s $3.667 million cap hit.
Isn’t he only signed for this year? How much money is there left to eat lmaoFrom the David Pagnotta guy at 4th period.
LA have less than 300k of deadline cap space right now. Even at 50% retained they'd have to send money back to fit Talbot in.Isn’t he only signed for this year? How much money is there left to eat lmao
Are you sure, maybe my back of the napkin math is off, but Talbot at 50% is ~1.8, subtract Copely who they can waive and bury and you have a ~1 mil in net contract to add, which by the deadline would need about 250k in space,LA have less than 300k of deadline cap space right now.

Decent roster IF we can get two competent RDs.Next years lineup starting to shape us as:

Talbot really needs to come back soon and play well, for his sake and for our ability to get anything for him at the TDL. What a terrible trade this turned out to be.From the David Pagnotta guy at 4th period.
i think the plan is to go with copley and new goalie. If quick goes to robidas island then it can work but at the same time i dont knowif they do that with quick since he has been there his whole careerAre you sure, maybe my back of the napkin math is off, but Talbot at 50% is ~1.8, subtract Copely who they can waive and bury and you have a ~1 mil in net contract to add, which by the deadline would need about 250k in space,
I don't like the idea of having Zub with Sanderson, they need someone who is going to go after anyone who tries to take out Sanderson which is what I like about Hamonic, he doesn't hesitate & goes right after the guy. Zub isn't going to stand up for anyone, he's a good RD but he isn't a fighter, they need a couple of guys especially one on defence who will protect their young stars. It's the main reason I like Scott Mayfield RD & would like to see the Sens go after him.
