Hes waiting on the Karlsson decision but has intimated that he likes Tampa weather as well. He has a crotchless Bolts onesy apparently.

Kind of guessing English is not his first language. What is humorous is that non-Sens fans have equally strong opinions that are also just blind guesses and biased.

Holy crap Aetherial! I agree with your post.... I think hell may have just frozen over hahahahaha

But in all seriousness. Anyone Sens fan or not commenting on anything only really has reports and interviews to go on. Sometimes it's fun to speculate.

Interesting seeing the different views on it though.

Don't be fooled, I once thought I agreed with Aetherial then found out they shower with socks on. It's like I never knew them.

I dont think Ottawa is a dumpster fire. Whatever issues there were are gone aside from Melnyk. Looking at their roster i feel as if we are all too drawn in by the drama. The team still has:

Duchene
Stone
Dzingal
B.Ryan(still a good player but had injury issues with his hand)
Anderson
Karlsson

On paper Ortawa is not impressive but neither was Vegas. I think they will do better than expected

- xShoot4WarAmpsx


Ottawa has some nice prospects coming. That said many teams do (like Philly) and wtf is the point if your owner won't pay them *when they've earned it*. Karlsson has 2 norris trophies and easily could have 4 if he played on a contender. He also would have won a cup (or 2) and is a SHOE in for the HHOF when his career is over.

All that said, if you can't sign a guy like Karlsson, who's been with the team since 18, his wife is from here, then what does that say? Dzingel is a solid kid but not a top line by any stretch of the imagination. White and Chabot look solid but they lack the depth and with karlsson, HUGE hit to the PP, the offensive getting to the forwards, and what about stone + duchene? Why would they want to resign. It would make so much sense for them to go to UFA next summer, as much as it pains me to say.

I don't think Duchene will go much longer without a contract and with Stone, his arb is this friday. If not resigned, he's set to be an UFA next summer

So that's what concerns me, is the Stone, Duchene, Dzingel being UFA AS well as Karlsson next summer. That the F'ing fact you don't have your first.

They need to pick a direct. Trade some of these guys to Avs for a package with a top prospect and a our first back if you have to rebuild.

Leafs got Marner at 4 and Mathews at 1......without them, do they have the same rebuild? Doubt it.

You can make fun of me all the day if you want Maverick1818 but you have just confirmed to me that you're an assh*le. You think you're smarter than anybody else on this forum. You're so cocky, its amazing. I should have noticed that you got big balls before writting down my comment.

Aetherial got a lot of free time for noticing the way im writting in English. Wow! What a lucky guy!

I didn't even reply to your comment or mention it, I just said I agreed with what Aetherial said and that it's interesting hearing different perspectives

If you didnt want to make fun of me, why you have agreed to his comment then? And adding something like the hell may have just frozen over hahaha? For me, its some kind of complicity. Also, its not the first time you are doing that to me.

It’s an interesting take. A wrong take, but interesting none the less. Reminds me of Tanner saying the Presidents Trophy should mean more than the Stanley Cup.
- YzermanTheMan


Well, everyone knows the Cup is based more on luck because of the smaller sample size- Tanner signing off!

If he DOES NOT sign and goes back to BU... does Ottawa lose his rights?

The Caps shouldn't have even made the playoffs last season (you know that season they WON THE (frank)ING CUP ), according to Spanner & his analytics.

- Misterbator


I wonder he'd be worth in a trade?

Will the Sens roll the dice & hope he stays with them? Or possibly send him away in a trade that will basically use his draft position as collateral?

Or maybe calgary includes Matthew in a trade for Karlsson. Bennett doesnt come close to acquiring anything more than a conditional 2nd, despite what flames fans say about his physical game and ??? But he is clearly worth more than Yakupov at the same age. Maybe the flames send Matt plus for Karlsson.

Agreeing with what he said about non Sens fans having equally strong opinions is not making fun of you at all and I agreed with his opinion in that case because it was correct.

and I said "I think Hell may have frozen over" is an expression because typically he and I never agree.

- AlfieisKing


Chabot looks like he could be a top pairing guy.

On what basis are you judging White? Seems to me he is, at best, a 3rd line center. Didn't he put up worse numbers than Vesey? Where is the evidence that he will be anything more than a checker at the NHL level?

You should go back and re-read.

I was defending you by noting that it seemed like maybe English was not your first language.

I still stand by what I said though. Non-Sens fans, including me, are guilty of exactly the same (but opposite) ignorance and bias.

Seriously, take a deep breath.

Neither Maverick nor I, were making fun of you. I was actually defending you, and he was agreeing with my point, which had nothing to do with you or your English. He was noting that it was very rare that we would see eye to eye, and that is related to the last few months of history here and has nothing to do with you.
