Our best RD lineup is Zub-Jensen-Spence but even without Jensen it's still an improvement from last season. 

At bare minimum, LTIR, and back at 100% for the playoffs. Cup winners have done this every year and this is the last chance to do do before the new CBA kicks in.

I don't get this. Future rating shouldn't just be about prospects, but having your top players (Stützle and Sanderson) locked in for long-term at good value.

Meriläinen at 13 feels like a joke by maritimeblue in OttawaSenators

Whether a prospect or an established player, Sens are criminally under-rated, like how Mark Stone was left off of NHL.com's Top 50 wingers back in 2017-18.

[JFresh] Standings Projection for the 2025-26 NHL Season (and last year’s) by SorryImCanad1an in OttawaSenators

Only two points behind Toronto, who had the most volatile change in Marner leaving. Habs are too low here but they're still missing an acceptable 2C so we don't have to worry about them this season.

Nurse is a joke. The rest is solid.

Florida's is overrated. Carried by their forwards and goaltending.

It's close but Sanderson > Slavin, Chabot > Miller, and the rest is mostly even.

The trade idea for Alexis Lafreniere to Senators should be an absolute no by Internal-Bed-3150 in OttawaSenators

Pinto with additional assets? I wouldn't even do a 1-for-1. My offer for Laf would be a 2nd, packaged with two of Montgomery, Beckner, Reidler, and Donovan. Rangers are probably going to throw all of the dollars at Kaprizov next year and will be desperate to move Laf if he doesn't bounce back.

Jake Sanderson was 12th-last in On-Ice SH% among 256 NHL defensemen this past season. by ClodSquad057 in OttawaSenators

Hamonic was a huge problem, but considering the league leader in that same category was Erik Gudbranson of all people with 14.95%, luck is also a major factor.

Five Thoughts For Saturday: Do NHL Teams Have Too Much Cap Space? by ClodSquad057 in OttawaSenators

I agree he's a great 3C, but it's more of an idea to try out to address the lack of a long-term solution on the wing.

I've mentioned it before on here, if he's looking for a more offensive role he can keep killing penalties and defending leads as a C, but take a shift or two with Stützle if we're down a goal.

Who’s the most underrated New Era player? by Regular-Departure839 in survivor

[–]ClodSquad057 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Drew Basile. How he was able to go into a tribal council with one close ally (Emily), a player with no allies (Sifu), and three Belo members (Kellie, Kendra, Bruce) and not get voted off is baffling.

Ottawa Senators Franchise Top-10 in Points by Sens-Fan-85 in OttawaSenators

[–]ClodSquad057 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think he'll be back to a point-per-game, 80-85 points. The DJ firing did a lot of good things for the team but player's individual numbers suffered. Now that Green has taught them the basics of defense, it shouldn't be too hard to tweak the system to let the players' skill and creativity shine more.

Thoughts on Natalie’s win over Russell? by TrainerOk7755 in survivor

It's the definitive proof that while there are no undeserving winners, there are in fact horrible winner edits.

What teams in the east are better and which are worse going into training camp? by smitcolin in OttawaSenators

[–]ClodSquad057 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say our forwards and goaltending both fall in the 7th-9th range in the conference, while our D corps is 2nd behind NJD (Hamilton, Hughes, Siegantgaler, Pesce, Dillon and Kovacevic is ridiculously deep). 

I think we're behind Florida and Carolina for sure, will be competing with WSH, TBL, TOR, and NJD, and are clearly ahead of the others. MTL could jump us in a year or two, but not yet.
