I know, I know fulcrum, he said some good things and has done many more over 18 seasons, I'm allowed to be melodramatic once in a while.

Cheers....

CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter)
(these totals are compiled with the bonus cushion)
SALARY CAP: $64,300,000; CAP PAYROLL: $54,620,000; BONUSES: $1,750,000
CAP SPACE (23-man roster): $11,430,000

So much is interchangeable within this lineup and so many guys chomping at the bit to get in. Still need a cheap defenceman because Ceci won't stick but maybe that is where Wideman comes in. Forwards are fine with are young guy like Pageau, Stone, Hoffman, Prince, Da Costa, Dziurzynski, etc.

Maybe a trade with O'Brien for a servicable right handed Dman or the signing of Wishart or Blum.

Doulos, posted this a couple days ago, only change now is the signing of Corvo, who takes Ceci's temporary spot I had him in.

I think Lazar might get a tryout as well

[notch4077]

In case anyone missed it. Joe Corvo is back in Ottawa after signing a one-year 900,000 deal.

damn that's a nice looking lineup. A lot depends on a healthy Spezza and Turris continue to develop/mature into a quality #2 center. If the Sens can get some secondary scoring from Turris' line, they are going to be a serious threat in the East.

Tim Murray said that he will be invited to the main camp, but I don't see him getting into any games. Who knows? He has looked good so far.

So 22yr old Cowen is our #3 D? Not too crazy about that.

23yrd old Karlsson is our #1D hah..

He's a big body and balanced lines with Philips in the 3rd pairing..

[notch4077]

Yup. He was on the 2nd pairing and logging key PK minutes at 20 too.

23yrd old Karlsson is our #1D hah..

He's a big body and balanced lines with Philips in the 3rd pairing..

Haha to the Karlsson point.

Nothing wrong with Cowen....
