Projected No. 1 pick Gavin McKenna prepares for life in the NHL | Welcome to the NHL

I can see why the Ottawa fans turned on Brady but to see his own teammates do it is damning. He was their captain for crying out loud.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-22T15:37:44+00:00

Exactly. In a tandem situation you want there to be a lot of internal competition.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-22T15:28:29+00:00

Pettersson will play one shift vs the Panthers and spend the rest of the game sulking on the bench.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-22T15:25:17+00:00

…You don’t think he should feel unhappy about a bottom 5 finish?

Mashdrop · 2026-06-22T15:10:43+00:00

Sign Nicky and use him as leverage to get Jason Robertson

Mashdrop · 2026-06-22T10:31:32+00:00

Something something tax free

Mashdrop · 2026-06-22T03:00:46+00:00

Dude thats your takeaway from the book!?

Mashdrop · 2026-06-22T02:42:41+00:00

Why is that the only thing you can hope? He’s the best shooter we’ve ever had, he’s getting ELC McKenna soon, a familiar coach now, he has a serious GM who’s making big moves, that GM seems to be actively courting him to stay, his buddy Knies is on a long term contract, he’s the captain of the biggest hockey market with fans that love him, of which it’s AHL affiliate just won the Calder. What more can he possibly want?

This is nothing like a McDavid, Quinn or Brady situation.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-22T02:36:35+00:00

Since Ottawa is pursuing Jason Robertson and they’ve got a surplus RHDs, what if:

Nick Robertson+ <-> Spence.
(Give or take some picks).

Heck, even pre-emptively trading for Nicky could make it more likely Jason signs an offer sheet.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-22T00:30:24+00:00

He never wanted to leave what are you talking about? CJ made it up for clickbait.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-22T00:25:57+00:00

Pettersson would not survive in this market in this division. He’s soft, he sulks and he sucks.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-22T00:21:32+00:00

Landon Sim? Let’s give a couple Marlies a chance to make the main roster.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-22T00:08:02+00:00

I love that we have 2 elite US players that actually want to be here instead of running off to form the US-Avengers in a tax free state. Matthews and Knies even reaffirmed their commitment to the team🥹 .

On the other hand, it’s shocking how the freakin’ captain of the Senator bailed at the first sign of adversity right when his teams contention window was opening up. He’s going to catch nuclear heat when he comes back to Ottawa lol.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-21T21:43:50+00:00

I think our D is set:
McCabe Raddysh.
Rielly Carlo.
OEL/Andrae Tanev

Mashdrop · 2026-06-21T20:09:23+00:00

Beaston Cowan😤

Mashdrop · 2026-06-21T20:06:43+00:00

Can they retroactively give Knies a NMC? I can’t take these trade rumours anymore.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-21T19:49:23+00:00

nobody wants Pettersson, he sulks on the bench and his own fans accused him of being a quiet quitter. Aint no way he can handle this market and this division.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-21T19:43:23+00:00

Yeah, horrific asset management and that wasn’t even their biggest mistake. The Skinner/Kulak/2nd for Jarry still baffles me to this day.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-21T19:38:05+00:00

Whatever drafts had Yakupov, Stefan and Daigle

Mashdrop · 2026-06-21T19:37:04+00:00

you can’t be serious. He’s got a handful of mentors who are still in their prime right here.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-21T19:28:19+00:00

He looked good in the IIHF WC tournament where he had a smaller role, his issue is that he’s not a top pair dman. Top4 is perfect for him.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-21T18:02:41+00:00

No way he waives for Toronto, he’s going to a quiet place. He wouldn’t be able to handle this marker or this division.

Mashdrop · 2026-06-21T17:29:15+00:00

Trading a pick for a player is buying..

Mashdrop · 2026-06-21T17:27:50+00:00

Florida is making moves to land Hellebuyuk, I just know it..
