They really need to get out front of a Sanderson contract like they did with Stutzle because if they let that guy play next year also on the PP he will cost them a fortune.

Try for 8 x 8 and that will be a steal.

Well Sogaard just made the blooper reels for the next ten years.

Too bad because I thought they were looking strong enough to come back.

I love this team. They are still pressing. Good goal by Hamonic down low.

5 4

Embellishment? These refs are total BS.

Solid comments.

Sens will be cap comfortable if they pay their top 6 contracts an average of $8.4m AAV. The challenge is trying to figure out who those 6 players should be.

Nobody would dispute the inclusion of Brady, Timmy and Sandy on our list.

But who are the three to be continued or added over the next few years. I think they will need to choose between Chychrun and Chabot. Pinto is having a sneaky good rookie season. If he continues to improve next year, will he lift himself into the group along with DeBrincat and Norris fighting for top 6 money.

This is not a bad problem to have.

I am still hopeful the Sens will find a way to add another dominant, physical forward (I love Pierre Luc Dubois).

Would I be open to moving Chabot or Norris or DeBrincat in order to acquire assets that could be flipped for a top power forward. Yes on Norris and DeBrincat. Not yet on Chabot.

To have 3 Dmen of the caliber of Chabot, Chychrun and Sanderson is truly awesome and it's possible to have one of them on the ice at all times or pair them when you need to load up. Zub rounds things out nicely. Find another one of those.

Up front they are solid with Tkachuk, Stutzle, Norris, Batherson and Pinto for years to come and for a couple of years at least, Giroux.

Their scouts should be looking around for another Giroux or Batherson or Pinto to add to the mix as well as some bottom 6 help. I like Kastelec but after him there's not much. Gauthier might work out but I'd like to see him be more physical.

Most importantly they need to find a friggin number 1 goalie. If they go into next season with Talbot as that guy there will be a lot of disappointment and a quick exit if they make it into the post season. Sogaard or some such may eventually develop and that will be great but they need to address this net issue this summer.

Well.
I was at the game (used to be full season now I'm a half season..but anyhow)

Once again - DJ Prosper and DJ Smith can both go....sooner the better. Prosper is just noise....loud loud noise. DJ Smith is just out of his element.

My seats are in the 300's, isle seats at the top of the first flight of steps. I don't know if all the steps in the CTC are miss-cut but we get about a half dozen people tripping on their way up the stairs every game. It's FANTASTIC. As we are all season ticket holders, it's quite the event watching people come up, arms full of over priced beer and food only to miss-step on that same one and go down in an explosion of food and beer. Four victims last night. LMAO....so good. Over under was 6...oh well.

To the refs. Ya. Bad game. The only way Claude Giroux isn't falling over forward from being cross checked on that play is if he's wearing figure skates with picks. Just boneheadery right there. The missed call when Claude was slew footed to the front and nearly broke his wrist....another non call. The grabbing and holding by the avs on nearly every play in the first period because they were tired.

the season was over before the Detroit games....they're fun to watch. I hope they run the leafs right out of the building

They have a great core of players

Tkachuk Stutzle Giroux
????? Norris Batherson
Joseph Pinto Guth
Grieg Kastelic Sokolov

Get a decent top 6 on good contract

Chabot Zub
Sanderson (Hamonic still on fence about keepin)
Chychrun (Branny I’m starting to like how he playing)
But would be nice to get 2 big defenders to stand up on blue line cause everyone comes over without any fear( remember that guy Methot) 😏
We need Goalies Talbot won’t cut it and Forsberg could be done with knees injuries could keep happening 🤦‍♂️ and Sogard isn’t ready yet 🤷‍♂️

Replace the coach, rinse, repeat. With Norris and Chychrun healthy and better defensive systems there's a decent chance this team storms out the gate next season, which is this team's perennial problem under DJ. They have a desperate need to stop bleeding odd man rushes because it looks like our goaltending next season will be middling at best.

Why does this guy insist on playing Gambrell over Kastelic like the guy is useless 7pts last year 6pts this year and atrocious on face offs like mid 40’s 🤦‍♂️ atleast Kastelic has 7pts and in high 50’s in faceoffs and hits hard am i missing something here 🤷‍♂️

Sogaard is incapable of stopping wrist shots, why the hell does smith keep playing him when he gets smoked every game....

Sens deserved the win tonight, fellas. Leafs were completely gassed out there. Marner and Matthews were so much better than anyone on the Sens tho. And fortunately that was sufficient tonight

Very entertaining game. Ottawa was the much better team and deserved the win.

Gauthier caught my eye with his play. He seems to work well with Pinto.

Sogaard made some great saves after a shaky start. He has promise but needs work.

I really like having one of Chabot, Chychrun or Sanderson on the ice for the whole game and I hope it stays that way.

After watching their team get owned by the Sens in this game I wonder how many Leaf fans realize they're going to be eaten alive in the post season?

Nobody looking from a Sens perspective would trade Timmy or Sandy for anyone on the Leafs roster. Just a matter of time for the kids to grow up.

I like Gauthier. Next year a third line of Pinto, Gauthier and Formenton would be very strong. Decent size and speed.

Kleven, if signed this week, should get a few starts before the season ends.

When Mathews becomes available in 1 year, would trade for him. But not for Sanderson or Tkachuk or Stutzle.

No he wouldn't. Saying otherwise is moronic. Any team in the NHL would make him a top 3 if possible. And if they couldn't make him a top 6 they would be a bottom feeder for years to come. Stutzle is probably a top 20 player starting next year.Like his team or not, but respect the player.He is elite.
