*** Ottawa Senators Thread ***


Recommended Posts

OK, this is crazy slow for the hockey forum, so time to start the new Senators thread....Last news in Hockey Country is that Corey Clouston is the new B-Sens head coach.Also, a few days ago, the Sens signed Luke Richardson. This is what Mirtle says, funny guy...

UPDATE Day 41, 29 teams are furious that Luke Richardson has signed in Ottawa.
The Richardson signing makes it interesting to see where he'll play this year. I think I really prefer having Nycholat as the 7th D in Ottawa and Richardson in Binghamton to be a leader for the yound d-men on the farm. It's still important to have a contingency plan when your d-men go down to injury, so we'll be good if any of the top 6 go down :Redden - SchubertPhillips - VolchenkovCorvo - MeszarosNycholatRichardsonWith the off-season pretty much done now, we've got some cap space to work with this year, Murray has done well...Oh yeah, and yesterday we signed Ilya Zubov.Check out the TSN 2007 Cup run recap, some good vids there... (edit...guys let me know if you can link to the TSN vids cause I can't get to them ...)Last, a shout out to 7s7c who has had a great sig up all summer...GO SENS GO !!!

Sens-Sabres   Bring a pillow.

Danny,   My private school wife disagrees. Sadly so do I. I was pretty adamant that we weren't going to pay for private school but now that he's here and it's getting close deciding on schools, I'm

Oh crap I missed the obvious one Lidstrom. Debate over.

I heard unconfirmed rumours that Murray is talking with Forsbergs’ agent. Wouldn’t that be sick J
That rumour was repeated this morning on Team 1200 (seems like a huge long-shot to me though). The team would have clear some cap to make it happen though.Hell ya:Heatley-Spezza-EavesVermette-Forsberg-AlfredssonKelly-Fisher-NeilMcAmmond-Hennessy-Donovan

Inside word is that they aren't offering Redden much. A cut in salary... Fisher is the key guy. If there's one player this team needs, it's Fisher...
I think we knew Redden would have to take a cut to stay.. the question is whether or not they look to lowball him to "regain" past overpayment. I guess it would also depend on whether or not they think they can keep Corvo and/or how good Lee will be.As a core player I'd probably put Fisher behind Spezz, Heatley and Alfie if not for health reasons. He had all of the keys to be a superstar power forward... except for hands of stone, perhaps if he learns not to bury the puck in the goaltender's chest. How much will make next year? Really depends on what happens to the salary cap imho but probably ~$3-4? mill. Given his community involvement might even give a discount but hopefully the Sens don't piss him off by pushing that too far.

This thread lacks clout due to it's missing of a capital O in the title.

Sens are siiiiickkk, id realy love to know where serge comes off talking shit? "they will struggle to make the playoffs" oh you mean kinda like the toronto maple leafs who have not been in the playoffs for over 3+ years now? great one serge! the sens are once again gonna be making serious noise in the Eastt. Send my good neighbour richardson ( beauty pad right on the waterhere in 0-town) down to Bingo to show the young lads what it takes to play in the show. Maybe give him a few games with the big guys too b.c. he deserves it for what hes done in the league. Forsberg would be a great pick up (Obviously) but that rumors been around for at least a month or two now. Rayzr and Gerber are getting geared up for what looks to be a good battle for top spot in the net. With emerys performance last year he can start slow and gerber can come out red hot and I still think emery will have the benefit of the doubt, (at least until halfway point in season)for those ottawa rumor junkies: speakin of mr emery, i was at foundation a couple weeks ago and was in the bathroom tanked...in comes an obv. semi-hammed rayzr and i swear he is freestyling somethign like "they call me the Rayzr cause i Chop it up" LOL what a fckin joker, also had a bomb time hangin out with ms senator (wife of a steady D-man) what a good lookin girl and and she knows how to party

It automatically capitlizes the first letter in each word now...You had it like ***ottawa Senators Thread***. It was treating the * as the first letter of ***ottawa, so I just put spaces in to make it look pretty.<3

You should challenge Serge to a Trivial Pursuit (Degrassi Junior High Edition) competition.

I heard unconfirmed rumours that Murray is talking with Forsbergs’ agent. Wouldn’t that be sick J
Oh. yeah. Foppa in a Sens jersey would be awesome. There have only been 2 times when he was available, as an UFA to Philly after the lockout and then traded to Nashville last year. Each time, I was hoping we'd pick him up, but both times we had no cap space and couldn't really make a serious pitch. I'm sure Muckler tried to make it work though, he just didn't leak the rumor to the press like Murray did this time :icon_biggrin:Now this year, I think Forsberg will probably return to the league sometime just after Christmas, which would be pretty much at the midway point of the season, so the cap hit would probably work. He can come back to win a last Cup with his friend Alfie ! This is only if he does not absolutely want the most $$$, in that case he would come back for the last week of training camp and earn an entire season's worth of salary. There's no doubt he's worth 6M$, but the only teams that have that kind of cap space left aren't really top contenders.I can't wait for the first marquee veteran free agent to choose Ottawa as an UFA. Forsberg would be great.
Inside word is that they aren't offering Redden much. A cut in salary... Fisher is the key guy. If there's one player this team needs, it's Fisher...
The whole thing is how much does Redden value 6M$ vs. the chance of winning the Cup with the Sens. That's the difference between 4.5M$ for 3 years (which we can afford), or 6.5M$ for 3 years that he'd get on the open market IF he had a good season this year. I can only think of one guy who accepted the same kind of paycut as an UFA-to-be, and that's Brind'Amour. But he's quite a bit older than Redden...Yes, Fisher is a key piece. He plays some huge shutdown minutes, he allows Spezza's line and the 2nd line to match up a lot better. His chemistry with Neil (last year) and Schaefer (NOT last year) was very good, I'm looking forward to seeing who will play on their wing this year...McAmmond ? He's also very quick to lead the rush and is relentless on the backpressure - he would already have won a Selke had he had a single season 100% healthy. Yeah guys, I agree now that Getzlaf > Fisher, but I'm still adamant that Mike Fishers are not a dime a dozen in the league.[/Mike Fisher scouting report]

I can't believe the Blues let McAmmond just walk. I didn't even realize he was with the sens until the sabres series in the playoffs... I just assumed he had retired or something.

( beauty pad right on the water here in 0-town)
I have been at his home (my old company takes care of his security system) and it is really a beautiful home, and he is a genuinely nice guy and deserves to finish out his career in his hometown.
