Shocked nobody said Ryan Johnson wasn't best player on ice this week, been there 3 times and probably the oldest


Think I said this before
After McNabb/fashing trade
Kid was Jonathan Parker
First day at Niagara U
Was the fastest best shot
Definitely a steal in that trade
Then he wasn't

Some guys look really good in practice
Some don't
Can't read to much into it

I think the prospect challenge is a better indicator of where the kids are at. With few exceptions, the cream rose to the top and everyone else didn't. Nylander looked very mediocre in those games.

[quote=Stripes77]There are still a few question marks in what you posted



Using Clifton instead of Joker in the top 4 isn't a sure thing, Clifton hasn't played those types of minutes before, can he do it? We will see.

Stripes - review Clifton's first 60 games last year and his analytics. He absolutely is not a sure thing, he absolutely played those types of minutes (on the best regular season team in the history of hockey)

- turbo044


Most likely see some flip flopping between Joker and Clifton on that 2nd pair. Maybe Joker takes a decent step this year if he can stay healthy and hes stll here.

Interested to see what happens with Boosh, Bryson, Stillman, Joker. 2 gotta go. (preferably Bryson and another)

People have said Novikov and Johnson were quiet good.

Their game isn't flashy, we know this. They're the kinda players that are good if you don't see them.

Apparently Novikov was very noticeable (in a good way).

Saw a post on twitter saying he looks like vet

I think boosh has Adam's blessing. Just signed him, had a decent year IMO.

Bryson and stillman seem likely gone

Sure, but don't forget that Adam's traded for Stillman. I'd think that if either of them has the possibility of a future here, it is Stillman.

Good signing for the Sens….the rest of the division is investing in toughness….

https://twitter.com/thefo...&t=hqR9TYIpzRsCOAnvTWKdTw

The #GoSensGo  have signed F Zack MacEwen to a 3-year, $2.325M contract.

Sens GM Dorion: “Zack’s a player with strong character who adds increased physicality to our lineup. He’s a hard-nosed, competitive player who’s a tenacious forechecker and who demonstrates a routine willingness to go to the hard areas.”

they just added stillman, hes not the guy who will go. Also hes the only bottom pair guy with positive numbers, that would be insane.

No, he was actually correct. I hope that they all keep signing guys that aren't good at hockey. It only helps us.

Dahl-Sam
Power-Clif
Stillman-Boosh
Johnson

Johnson and Stillman swapping in and out

Bryson and joker on the outs? Joker probably the only one with some value.

Part of me wants to keep Joker cause he has the chemistry with Power, wasn't all terrible. Could easily move up and down the lineup if Clif doesn't prove he can stick on the 2nd pair.

I’d take a stab at Zadina.

1 YR, 1.5 mil.

Give him a tryout while Quinn is out.

If he doesn’t work. Cut his ass.

I loved him during his draft year. How the mighty have fallen.

If that were true, we'd all be rushing out to sign the Ryan Reaves of the world and playing him more than 4 minutes a night. I hope they play him 25 minutes a night.

I think lyubushkin is on the outs. EJ may end up being the #7 d-man down the stretch but i dont think he starts that way.
