If a backup goaltender is that big of an issue, it really should've been addressed in the off season so that Andersen could get some games taken off his plate. A 5 million dollar insurance policy at the trade deadline isn't what you want to be doing cap gymnastics for when you're looking to make a run. Just my two cents - RickJames77
Unfortunately, the entire off-season was focused on signing a bunch of league minimum players because Marner and his camp insisted on being overpaid by $2 million. |

Yep,
So the final cut is between Timashov, Shore and Spezza.
I'm thinking it'll be Spezza.

Dermott looked really good the other night. I can only assume Dubas is preparing a 6x6 contract as we speak |

I hope not. I'd take Spezza over both of them.
Shore is who I hope gets waived. |

I wouldn't argue with you or Rick on this one. As much as I have liked many of the things Dubas has done, failing to upgrade the backup position is on him - especially when you consider they want to allocate 20 - 25 starts to that position. He rolled the dice on Sparks - and that was a gamble most would have and felt should have been taken. Looking at how Pickard played afterwards doesn't seem to be much of a loss, but McElhinney would have been better last year. This year his .899 svp and 3.94 GAA is positively Sparksian.
When you get into the $700 - $750k range, the options available were really no better than what we have in Hutchinson. Would Johnson be better? Did they give up Neuvirth too easily? I don't know. Even with some savings, there are very few options available up to the $1.5m range -- but it should have been addressed. |

c'mon man... you know how this works...
Dreger needs to spew RFA offer sheet garbage for 3-4 months - speculating on 9digit contracts FOR EVER...
then... and only then Dubas freaks-out and signs him to 7M x 3yr bridge
or some other stupid approach. |

This is how you succeed:
“The Senators will be all-in again for a five-year run of unparalleled success – where the team will plan to spend close to the NHL’s salary cap every year from 2021 to 2025,” the statement said. “(Melnyk) reiterated that the Senators’ current rebuild is a blueprint on how to bring the Stanley Cup home to its rightful place in Ottawa. |

For all the laughs we got from the Sens in the last few years.
If San Jose keeps playing terribly, there's a chance they could get two top 5 picks next draft. |

They might go for the longer term, medium salary type contract that we've seen with a few young promising players. Worked great for guys like JVR and Roman Josi, not so much with Zaitsieve... |
