Brown , white, tkachuk, chabot leading a few other young guys that look promising. A bunch of picks. A few decent UFA signings and I don't think Ottawa will be as bad as we all think in 2 years.

She has forgot more about what it takes to win it all than some of the kids will ever know.

Maybe in 2 years. They're in a very good spot if you ask me .

How you dare talk about Farhan Lalji like that!! lol

I have him down at 6.5.. I hope this doesn't turn into a shit show.

Mark Stone has requested $9 million through salary arbitration. The Ottawa Senators put in an offer for $5 million. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman pointed out that the largest arbitration award was Shea Weber, who received $7.5 million. The hearing is scheduled for Friday. WTF Stone

The point was.. all those guys are power forwards and started to bloom late. I was in no way saying that Tom Wilson is going to be the next Cam Neely. 45 points and all those peripherals isn't a bad contract for 5 mill. Of course it could be better but you're not getting that kind of cross category production out of anyone else in the league at that high of a level.

As well I remember another big boy. No messing around type power forward. A little less on the shenanigans and PIM's. Took him a while to find his rhythm. He was 24 before he broke loose and had a couple of back to back 40 point seasons prior to breaking out. John Leclair. Then I did a little google stuff. Tocchet 23 Bertuzzi 25 Iginla - although he was way more talented and showed more younger. He didn't bust loose until 24. Neely -21 . 4 seasons it took probably the best to ever be a power forward to cut loose. These guys take time.

Kucherov was a deal and a half . He could have easily went for 6 mill plus and 6 years. Instead now he's going to get 8 - 10 mill and 8 years. It was savvy business on his part and Yzermans part.

I don't know man. The guy came straight out of the OHL. Was a first round draft pick. Has consistently gotten better and better. Had a monster playoff. I think he's just hitting his stride. 45 points and another cup run doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility. He's a game changer. A huge presence on the ice. And he just generally smashes opponents. I think that's a top end contract for a 24 year old that plays his style game. If he finds some kind of scoring touch this will be a steal. Playing with Ovie and Kuznetsov could do that.

possibly... work computer.

look i figured it out

HA! I wish I could snap shot my spreadsheet. That's exactly what I had him down for.

whatta ya got?

gnfl i got him.. that's a stellar contract for the 23 year old

Something we seem to be lacking .

NYI. No goalie and No Tavares. That team just took a huge step back. They're weak in the middle. Sad on the wings and the D ain't scrap. Just lost De Haan . They got #1 pick contention written all over them

I am the smartest of all idiots. I am definitely not rich .

what is this?

Hoffman looks a whole bunch like a winner playing next to Barkov or Trocheck.

I'm trading the #1 Re-entry in the IFHL if the right offer comes along... Who wants Johnny?

Hoffman would look good as a Penguin

The news today has made the Presidency seem common. The seat should be respected regardless of a persons political standpoint. If the leader of your country asks you to come and be honored, you go and be honored. I'm not a fan of Trudeau. If I was asked to come to Ottawa and and take part in anything. No questions asked. I would go. It's my country and I support it. The use of sports teams. Actors. Anybody with any type of fame by our political parties is nothing more than a kissing baby photo op. Used to manipulate. It shouldn't be the case .

Garth Snow is a goner. I didnt think he was a GM anyways.
