They both play a physical game, Lowry can take faceoffs, plays the PK...
I think Risto just needs a change of scenery to be honest. Playing in Buffalo can't be easy

precisely.

I agree. I do wonder if its an overpay a bit, but with the contracts going around you really cant complain.

I guess in Ottawa that all depends on whether Melnyk actually makes payroll...or plans to try to....

maybe he's taking the KHL model.

Hate the Sens, but that CHabot signing is fantastic.
Despite the overhype of "Offersheets", Chabot was getting one next July.

Thoughts on Chabots 8x8 AAV deal? I think its ok. After this I wonder what Josi is going to get.

I think it's exactly right for an elite young dman. Look at AP and Ekblad back when they signed. They have him from age 23 - 31. His best years.

Josi will get paid but his next deal is age 30+. Something between Spurgeon and Karlsson money.

The Cleveland Barons merged with the Minnesota North Stars.

Why don't the Leafs buy the Senators, keep all the good players, and get double the cap space?

The cost of the sens would probably be inflated by about a million dollars so that Melnyk can pay off his debts to some new england casino. Not worth it.

O'Dog said last night "Sens have to sign the kid"... after losing everyone else.

He's right... and they did.... I think it is a smart move that they had to make.
- BorjeFan4Ever

Despite all the silliniess over offersheets he was getting one. And not just because of his talent, it's the team he's on and who owns it.

Yes, but there was going to a 7 yr/$8M per offer sheet already drawn up... Dubas had to get in front of it early.

not sure... you'd have to ask the all-knowing offer sheet meister Dreger about that one.

I'm sure he'll have an answer - or pull one rapidly out of his a__

I wonder when there will be another 'scandal' about the Geishas' whitefaces..

not hugely noticeable ... made some nice break out passes
- BorjeFan4Ever

that's what he needs to do.. keep it simple and play the style Hainsey was playing last year. He should be a better version of Hainsey if he keeps his head straight. But this was only one game so who knows! lol
