Turris sucks. His career year before this one is 29 points.

Bobby Ryan is actually pretty close to his average, and that's with a significant downgrade in linemates.

Cowen is a complete disaster.

Alfredsson - irrelevant. As I said, given the roster they have, they've done fairly well considering.

And yes, where they landed is a ways from a playoff spot. Things went well for them to be out of the basement. A significant injury to any one of Karlsson, Spezza, and Ryan, and you're looking at a bottom 3 team.

Kinda like last year right? When Karlsson, Spezza, Michalek, Anderson were all injured for significant parts of the season? And we still made the playoffs?

Meh. He HAS played pretty close to top 10 this year.
- prock

13th most GA by any dman (that is your fav stat), and not even top 40 in scoring by dman.

so terrible defensively, and average offensively........but top 10 in the league

he did have a great hit on JVR though

Stepan and JT Miller

Your comments on Turris are awesome too.

yeah, he's great. I've actually thought the Sens should play to his strengths, and line up 3 d when he's on the ice. Two shutdown guys and Karlsson, and just let Karlsson play his game. I know it's different than conventional thinking, but if they were to let him play his game, and cover up for his deficiencies better, it could be really good for the Sens.
- prock

i personally don't think he's terrible defensively. His offense more than makes up for it.

Pretty sure you guys lost two players from your top 6, and a pretty good dman. I'm not sure if you noticed, but I said "given the roster you have".

It's not my fault your ownership and GM f*&ked up. This is the team you have, and it's not very good.

What, his career high prior to this year being 29 points?

You disagree????

I wish the draft was tomorrow, the draft and trade deadline are the only good things about the nhl

Well. He is.

Come April, when you have no team to watch, maybe you should watch a few Leaf games.

very much disagree here. But to each their own.

Don't be silly, Buff is the second worse guy in the league at playing D. Karlsson is the worst.
- prock

ta da ..... Prock, been missing you buddy ... what with Ottawa losing and TO winning ..... nice to have you back

very much disagree here. But to each their own.
- clark_griswold

well, according to prock, the way to judge how bad a dman is, is by how many goals are scored when he's on the ice........that means phaneuf is terrible defensively

- prock

nice comeback........don't like having your ridiculous stats thrown back at you

Well. He is.
- prock

that means phaneuf is terrible defensively too

but a 5billion dollar Canadian TV rights deal sure dosent hurt right now, not sure when that comes into play. Revenue for next season I assume when the deal kicks in or does the NHL already have the cash?
- DDM-Coga

Yeah nice deal for them!!Not sure when.

Prock is profoundly and pathetically obsessed with all things Sens. The mere mention of any Sens player leads to dozens of posts.

Sad indeed, though a little hilarious.

Also gotta love the trolling rants of a guy whose team made the playoffs once in ten years.

Yawn

I do agree i would make that trade but your characterization of Spezza isn't exactly accurate either. Not counting the lockout season(which did have his only recent substantial injury) he's averaged 72 games played a season for the past decade, how is that injury prone?

He's still only 30 and if you put him with decent line mates i bet you he gets back to 30 or so goals, 70+ pts a season.
- nikel

that settles it, put him with Kessel and JVR

Everyone on here is being ridiculous. Karlsson is clearly a stud. But sens have accomplished nothing, as have the leafs. Doesn't matter that we only made it once in 10 years. That's history, and if we're talking history, just before the 10 years we beat the sens 4 straight series (over 5 years).

I'm just saying lets stick to current stuff like dion and Karlsson, because both the leafs and sens have been a joke since as long as i can remember.
