I thought Joe Corvo should take over for Wade Redden as the #1 option the last year or 2 they were both there.
I also thought Vermette should have been given 2C with Fisher being traded away to make room.
And countless others I'm sure...

I didn’t like the Craig Anderson Trade not because I liked our goalie I just thought he wasn’t a real starter or worth the quick contract he got. Even my buddy who’s generally always right about these things liked his game and thought we easily won the trade but I didn’t listen - but for sure the best goalie we’ve ever had. Not my favorite because that’s Razor, but for sure the best.

Same. Thought he could be a big, mean defensive monster with some mobility and offense. Attitude and injuries shut that down.

Good days to be a Sens fan. I think this group of players we have is really really good and looking for fights with the big teams and we have the goalie to do it. It’s going to be a fun year.

I thought Jakub Culek was hands-down the steal of the draft.
I thought Nikita Filatov was just misused in Columbus and would thrive here.
I thought Pascal Leclaire was not only a viable long-term solution, but was going to be a perennial top-10 goalie in the league.
I thought Denis Hamel was going to be the exception to the "short players who dominate in the AHL can't keep up with the physicality in the NHL."
I thought Peter Bondra was just taking some time to adjust to the team but would flourish in the playoffs.
I thought Brian Elliott was an aggressively mid goalie whose career would flame out post-Sens.
But I'm riding a hot streak lately, I don't think I've had a truly bad take in years... meaning, of course, I'm due. TYLER BOUCHER WILL BE A *STAR*, DAMMIT.

Peter Regin, the Alfie successor and next decade-long captain
Kaspars Daugavins, MVP and next big thing
Jared Cowen, unashamedly championing that mouth breathing Seinfeld looking mfker
The 2010s were very humbling for me

Thought Kaigorodov was going to be a solid 1b center behind Spezza.
I thought Hamel would figure it out as well.
He wasn’t short through IIRC.

Man didn't we all though. Ilya Zubov turned into like a 96 ov player in NHL 07 which had me pretty hyped too. Built many a Be a GM Dynasties around those two...

I wish you all the bad things in life.
I thought Erik Karlsson was so undersized that his game would never work in NHL. Three Norris's and a hall of fame lock career make that take pretty bad.
When it comes to embarrassing post, I suggest we do a top 100 for @Adrianopolous. We might have to split main board and Sens board though....
Some might say my defense of Da Costa was a bad take, but I maintain that he didn't get a fair chance under dinosaur coach McLain.

I've definitely posted some stupid takes. My worst was comparing Jake Sanderson to Luke Schenn. I thought Jake's ceiling would be a solid defensive dman. Admittedly, I didn't know anything about him; hadn't seen him play and had no idea what a great skater he was. I just had the impression that there wouldn't be much offense from him at the NHL level.

Anything I said about DaCosta or
Kaigorodov.
Though I swear to this day DaCosta got hosed and could have been a great playmaker lol

I haven’t been around long enough to amass a history of bad takes, and tend to be a bit centrist anyway, but I was super pumped about getting DeBrincat and knew in my heart of hearts that of course he will extend with us.
I was also pumped about Chychrun with eyes wide shut, only based on stuff I read on HFB, the seemingly high asking price and number of teams interested, and one Sens game against Arizona where he played like a mean 1D stud.
