GO WINGS!
Haha. Nope.
Our depth is amazing. Look at our centres. Spezza-Turris-Z-Pageau-Smith. One of the deepest in the NHL. Now we're building up the wing depth with Ryan and the prospects coming up.
Prospects graduated and some players were traded and they still don't miss a beat against other rookies. Prince, Lazar, Stone, Pageau, Dunn, Petersson, Robinson, Ceci, Wikstrand. Unreal.
This team will have every single piece needed for a Stanley Cup soon. Buckle up.
Another Sens fan from out west checking in here - I do wish they could have done the Ryan deal for a 1st and prospect instead of giving up Silfverberg in the mix too...in a few years he's going to be stellar. Wonder if there was a way to make that happen. I realize dealing from a position of strength, but...
I really like the team now. Still room to add a piece or two at the deadline, which given Melnyk's desire to have a less-than-cap team might be the way to go. Love that the Forecaster is predicting a Sens victory.
Go Sens Go!
Anaheim wanted two of Cowen, Zibanejad, and Silfverberg for Ryan, so the deal they ended up with was great. Silfverberg will be a good two-way, second line guy but you need to grab those first line goal scorers when you can.Originally Posted by Krysmo
and nice to see more Sens fans on the site!
Steal for Greening:
The AAV of Colin Greening’s new three-year extension with the #Sens is $2.65 M.
Ottawa's building some nice depth on the 3rd line with Greening and Mac, who could both jump in on the 2nd line when injuries or suspensions hit the team.
MacArthur will be next to Turris most likely
I don't think you will be happy if Mac lines up on the 2nd line for the majority of the season.
Terrific 3rd liner who can fill in, but doesn't bring anything specific to be considered a FT 2nd liner.
My lines as of today:
Greening - Spezza - Ryan
Conacher - Turris - Michalek
MacArthur - Zibanejad - Condra
Pageau - Smith - Neil
Pageau and Condra can flip-flop too.
Kassian and O'Brien healthy scratches
would love to hear your thoughts behind greening with the top line as apposed to maybe zibs moving to wing or conacher up there?

He brings 20 goals and around 45-50 points. That's a second liner any day and what he was signed for.
Straight from the mouths of management/coaching that they see him as Turris' LW.
Greening just provides space and will get out of their way, like Bickell in Chicago. They were successful 2 years ago so I could see them try it again.
Conacher is also an option but Greening would make the line a big line with 3 different elements. Zibanejad needs to centre the third line, he is much better as a centre as opposed to a winger where he gets tunnel vision and acts like Ovechkin
that said I don't agree with Notch's lines. If Pageau is on the team, he's a centre. MacArthur will play in the Top 6, Michalek will play with Spezza and Ryan, and Conacher/Stone/Hoffman etc. will battle for that #2 RW spot.
Hoffman is interesting because some team should grab him if he gets sent down
