A lot of fake hockey rumour sites are saying Brady is being shopped. I'm guessing if he technically is, it's more to get other GMs on the phone to switch the conversation to something else? I.e. take Kubalik for a stay at home right handed D who has yet to prove himself? Ehh? Ehh? Maybe a sweet 5th round pick????

I'd love to say there isn't a GM in the league who'd take Kubalik and yet we are throwing around Tanev's name like he's the Wayne Gretzky of defense. So....it could happen. Tkachuk in the playoffs....it's what he's designed for. Wasting away here.

The Senators' roster ‘can't be successful' the way it’s currently constructed
Craig Button

interesting, if he is correct, and Staois knows it, we could see several major trades coming at deadline and in off season.

i can see one of 2 of the following gone before OCT 2024 Chabot, chych, norris

OTT will NEVER trade brady to a divisional rival. unless BUF offers something that would make the NHL want to block it because it is so outrageous

From Buffalo --- value is even higher because it's in division.

Something like this: Dylan Cozens, Jack Quinn, 1st

BUF can get a BT7 jersey and stick for that, but the rest of the player will cost more

You know, if you are trying to make pithy trolling comments, at least get your facts right. Since beating Toronto ... again .... their record has been a respectable 5-3-1.

And yes, one of the worst teams in the east keeps beating the Leafs .... damn ... that slap shot to the open net really bugs you guys. LOL.

Just when we start to feel good about this team, they throw up a stinker to remind us that this is still largely a poorly constructed team.

I think that personally I have come to grips with the fact that we need to make Chabot an untouchable. He has really started to show improvements under Martin and team structure and more limited ice time.

Chychrun on the other hand has thrown up less points, and a worse +/- under Martin (Chychrun had better numbers under DJ Smith ???!!! .... huh !!!). I think that realistically, he is the guy that has to go. He seems lost defensively out there.

I can foresee major changes on the defense by next season .... Hamonic needs to somehow be dealt with as he has a no trade/no movement clause so we can't send him to Belleville). Brannstrom probably has his best trade value now.

So, minus Chychrun, Brannstrom, and Hamonic will open the door for Klevin and a trade. I can see a dance with St. Louis ..... Chychrun and Parayko and other odds and ends.

But in the end, we will need to trade for a legit goalie. I don't know who that is, but we can't keep trotting out the inconsistencies of Forsberg and Korpisalo.


Ideally, I'd like to bring in Saros and Parayko and a gritty style offensive forward (who can play on 2nd or 3rd line). That could go a ways to solving our inconsistencies. What to give up .... Chychrun, Korpisalo (at half his salary), Brannstrom, Tarasenko, Norris, Boston's first round pick.


Now, can we finally drop this insane potential playoff talk. It is not happening this year. I reserve judgement on next season depending on the changes Staios and co. can make between now and the summer.

Marner can't drive play alone. And he is wayyyyyyy to expensive. Marner needs Matthews for success. Plus Ottawa would become way to soft to play against. Between Marner and Lilligren .... there is no jam to play against.

Nice start. What a bunch of turds.
And what a concept. Literally shoot the puck from anywhere. With our goalies it’s likely to go in. And it did. I will say korpisalo stood on his head for the first 2 min. Crazy that Zub is so important.

Hamonic Branstrom on the penalty kill.
Fireable coaching offense.
Like. I get they can’t call anyone up. But that pair should be last resort. Not PK

Can somebody please buy Korpisalo a bed he can't sh*t in? He's had a 900 save percentage only eight times in his last twenty games. And 900 is bad. 5 of the past 20 sub 800. Just not good enough. We won't be able to pay somebody to take this contract away, he's yet another overpaid backup joining an exceedingly long line of overpaid backup goalies on the Sens, courtesy of Dorion.

Forsberg pulls off the odd stand on your head game, but when he's bad, he's absolutely atrocious.

that was the worst game in franchise history, not a single shot on net in the 3rd for the sens and 20 by NSH...

The hypothetical about the Sens being a playoff team this season was posted and it seems like the Sens were like, "hold my beer", immediately afterward....
