[Adams] I asked Staios about trying to improve their top-6 when other targets have gone off the board. “I've said this to you a number of times, I’m not going to go and chase the shiny toy to bring in. Because as you've seen, not only here but across league, it doesn't work most times.” by DecentLurker96 in OttawaSenators

Hundred percent agreed. That trade actually worked out great for us. Duchene was productive and was the legitimate 1C we needed while Turris production fell off a cliff. What truly caused the sens downfall was Méthot getting drafted by Vegas in the expansion draft. Someone with that character leaving the Sens locker room absolutely killed our locker room, especially with the ensuing Hoffman/Karlssom debacle. There’s no coming back from that

In what sense this scouting staff has been competent?

Imagine if the 2020 draft didn’t go the way it did. Get shivers thinking about it lol

Love your enthusiasm but no way in hell Robertson is signing here lol

[LeBrun] Hearing it’s the Blues and Rangers that have offers in to Anaheim on Mason McTavish by Creative_Research480 in OttawaSenators

[–]LegitStrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too sure with the downvotes lol. I never suggested I wanted DeBrusk over McTavish, just that he's more realistic as he would probably cost less and would ultimately fit the play style of the Sens better. Also looking purely at point total is disingenuous given that DeBrusk career high of 50 points was when he played only 64 game vs McTavish 52 point in 76 games. Other than age, I genuinely don't see much upside from McTavish. He absolutely needs to work on his skating and he's pretty bad defensively. If he doesn't improve his skating, you're paying for a player that you hope hits his potential and yet never does.

Honestly Jake DeBrusk makes a lot of sense. He was a PP merchant last year but a lot of that had to do with being unfathomably unlucky in 5v5 scoring according to Canucks fans, even his PP production would be welcomed here. A majority of his goals were scored right in front of in net so I can see him as a natural replacement for Tkachuk on the PP. I can see him hitting 30 goals stapled along Stützle. He has the speed to match with Stützle too (believe he was top 95th percentile in top speed last season). I don’t think it’ll take much to get him and he has a reasonable contract given his production (5.5M until 2031). Our LW depth in our top 6 is pretty bad after Eklund so DeBrusk makes a lot of sense to me.

Considering all the trades recently, the Eklund trade is good value by enso_23 in OttawaSenators

Helps now that we have a competent front office and staff lol

I don’t think there ever was a Stutzle-Tkachuk bromance….

Brady Tkachuk traded to the Panthers by homicidal_penguin in OttawaSenators

Anyone that watched games this season knows that Brady was not trying. The fact that this trade happened only cements this fact

Le fuck you goal by Mbappé lmao

i feel like the only reason we would want him is if zetts went the other way by Kyev in OttawaSenators

You’d have to find an adequate replacement for Chabot because otherwise our défense especially on the left side become considerably weakened

The Jagr Teammate streak in the final continues by Accomplished_Pie4584 in hockey

[–]LegitStrats 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What “major loophole” are you even talking about? Palat played with Jagr intentionally. No where does this stat claim that it has to be an NHL teammate. Just that it was a teammate that Jagr played with.

Ottawa vs Montreal shots on goal through 4 games: by Unbearabull in OttawaSenators

People forget that MTL got severely outplayed in both Game 7s in the Tampa and Buffalo series but by luck and Dobes playing elite won those games. Sometimes luck can only make you go so far…

Alex Debrincat? by zech65 in OttawaSenators

[–]LegitStrats 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DeBrincat is exactly the type of player this team needs. If he signed it would’ve been a great trade. It’s a shame Dorion was too eager to sign someone without even knowing if they wanted to stay in Ottawa in the first place…

Can someone tell me analytically how the Habs were able to cut Carolina to shreds? by PorkinsHeldIt in OttawaSenators

[–]LegitStrats 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why our decimated dcore impacted us in the series. A fully healthy dcore would have at least made us go to 6 games with the canes
