			<description><![CDATA[rsidoli really? do your homework. Murray drafted those guys in a draft class where you couldn't go wrong. If he didn't draft those guys, he could have gotten kesler, mike richards, shea weber, patrice bergeron, or brent burns. How the hell could he go wrong? Second, murray wasn't the GM when they won. Want to know why? Because he was coaching the Ottawa team that they beat, you idiot. Get your facts straight]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I really like this, he's proven he can make the tough calls. Lets see what they do about the coach now. Honestly I'd give Clouston another year. He's learned form his mistakes, and whether anyone want s to admit it or not, I'm sure the whole group has done a lot of growing up together this year - Clouston included.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[While I am excited about the way the last third of the season was due to the inspired play of our youngsters and a few of our veterans stepping up, I wonder if they will continue this under a new coach. Clouston's system seems to be one of constant pressure and speed and certainly players like Kovalev did not fit that system. My worry is this: If a new coach comes in and changes the system, can the team respond in the same manner as they did down the stretch? I certainly hope so. That being said, I would not be too upset if Clousten was extended one year to see what he can do with a team that actually wants to skate. Thoughts?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[lindy ruff with no extension yet. depends how well they do in the playoffs? I know the new owner said he would like to keep both darcy and lindy , but stranger things have happened. love to see him behind the bench in the 11/12 season. Cammeron is not they way to go with this team. hire a real nhl experienced coach. I will say again , lindy ruff anyone?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The 6th Sens site guy says Melnyk actually let it slip that Clouston will be gone next season. No big news here, but funny that he accidentally removed all doubt before an official announcement. It's the right move to get rid of Clouston - I hardly think there's a choice to make, but it WOULD suck to never have full practices, never have your #1 goalie (DO have shit backup) and have guys coming off major surgeries. Again, not saying he's good, but lack of coaching talent was SURELY compounded by circumstance. The more I think about Kirk Muller, the more he seems like the type of coach that would be an obvious choice just waiting for someone to give him a shot. Eugene, are you reading this? Bear with me, I need a new obsession now that the underated Kelly is gone.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I quote you old friend, "We'll see how hard you're laughing when the team fails to develop the way we'd all hoped it would." I would throw a red back down that you're the typical fan who wants to hire Dave Cameron. I can't respect the cynic these days, because as a SENS fan, it gets you no where. Our TEAM is the best it's been in 5 years in terms of youth and prospects. For you to say that, it screams everything I hate in out fickle fan base. I'm true through and through, what say you Meadowdog? Seems like you were one of the last guys we let on the bandwagon back in '07]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ease up there Pollyanna. Some people actually realize this team has won nothing but I suppose it was completely unfair to bring up Bryan Murrays' record of failure. You're right though....this site would be so much better if we we all just agreed the Sens are the greatest team in the league and will win every Stanley Cup for the next 20 years.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm personally elated that Murray was resigned. Why people are so concerned about the term is beyond me, like someone else mentioned, it doesn't count against the cap. In the states for example, if you give a president two years to completely change society is that gonna happen? I think not... Far more time is necessary. In hockey,it takes a GM at least five years to leave his mark on a club, THEN once that happens, judge him as you wish. Murray is gonna rebuild this team into a contender, bank on it. Ironically, he most likely won't be GM when we win the cup, some Burke like fool will step in, make one small time trade and all of Ottawa will deem him a hero. On the coaching front, whether it be Clousten or Cameron, I just really hope they play Spezza and give him the 22-24 minutes per game, he seems to be more effective when getting a high amount of minutes. We should also axe Kuba and sign Biesksa, he'd be a great leader and mentor to our young dmen.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The dividents of the 2008 NHL draft just keep paying off. I know not to overrate prospects but on potential alone is this the best draft in Senators history? Erik Karlsson- 15th overall, All-Star defenceman Patrick Wiercioch-42nd overall, NCAA standout, big as hell, needs muscle and could be dominant PMD, Has picked up his game in the first year pro Zack SMith- 79th overall, Been on team most of year, potential 3rd line center material Andre Petterson- 109th overall, Back issues but still Top six potential, Leading scorer in (2009?) WJC Derek Grant- 119th overall, big body, NCAA point getter Mark Borowiecki- 139th overall- NCAA crasher, big body, potential top four defenceman for Binghamton next year in his first pro season Of the group of 7, six ELC's signed, one all star, three players already played for the team, ALl six have a future with the club]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ They were in college for 4 years... genius. I understand they were in college, which makes them genius' as well. Thanks for pointing out the obvious, though. What I meant was that they certainly weren't on anyones radar as top prospects this year. They were first year ahl guys that suddenly flourished, to the organizations delight. Still my point is that overall, Mucks' drafting for years now has been considered suspect.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ We'll se how hard you're laughing when the team fails to develop the way we'd all hoped it would. Well statistically, all things being equal, we only have a 33% of winning the Stanley Cup in the next 10 years so you will most likely be right...unless of course we had Steve Yzerman, Jim Nill or the Detroit Red Wings equipment manager. They would win the cup within 3 years.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You also have to take a look at the moves by previous management that had some affect on this team now. Muckler's management team was not the best at drafting. He screwed Hossa. Let Chara walk. Got absolutely nothing for Havlat -- yet people complain on the return for Heatley. Traded Brooks Laich for Peter Bondra. Traded Tim Gleason for Brian Smolinski. I think if you look through Muckler's trading history.. he probably traded more draft picks away than Murray has. I'm not 100% positive on that remark, however. I know he left practically nothing in Binghamton. Without 6 yrs of proper young player development on your AHL team that hurts your organization without the regular flow of young talent to your NHL team -- which results in the need for free agents.. which as we have seen does not work out too well. Ask some of the Bingo Sens fans to see how much they thought of their team during the Muckler years.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Don't like that 1,000 word limit.. The year after the Cup final they lost in 4 games to Pitts. But what was not mentioned they went into that playoff round with Alfie, Kelly & Fisher. I think that is 3 pretty decent players out of their lineup. They missed the playoffs the next season. Last season they lost in 6 games. I think they had a great run considering they were without Michalek, Kovalev, Kuba. Alfie & Campoli were playing with sports hernias. Volchy was playing injured. Phillips was playing with 2 bad feet which required surgery in the offseason. So when your shutdown D are playing injured against Malkin & Crosby you don't have much of a chance. They gave it a good run taking them to 6 games.. Injuries should not be an excuse for not winning.. but it's a reality it affects the way the club plays.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Hman The Sens went to the Cup final with ONE line & a decent goalie. Once that top line was stopped Sens were finished. Murray took over a team at the top of the Salary Cap. He had to sign Alfie, Fisher, Kelly, Spezza, Heatley with no cap room. He had to let players walk. He then goes to Bingo for their replacments NOTHING there. He tried to keep this team competitive while signing free agents which I admit were some of his bad moves. He has already re-built the defense -- with two POTENTIAL future great D set to join the club next season. Two more should join after next season. Ben Blood one big mean SOB & Jeff Costello (I believe).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Extremely happy Murray was kept!!! Can't wait to see how stacked we will be in 3 years!! Wow! One thing that irks me is the crap Murray gets for signing Kovalev! Don't get me wrong Kovalev basically robbed us of 10mil but at the time we had no one in the pipeline that could step into 2nd line rw role he was coming off 85 and 64pts seasom w/ MTL so he was signed to be a plug to buy time for Murray to Draft or acquire a younger better winger to replace him. Please tell me at the time(2009) who was better then Kovalev that would of taken a 2 year term? I looked at the list and the only other players I would of signed would have been Havlat or Cammelleri but I wouldn't of given them 5-6 year contract like they got. Moulson would have been nice but who knew he would do as good as he has! My only beef with Murray is his coaching choices, he has to stop hiring guys he can control like a puppet I think that causes the coach to have less credibility with the players!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Also on the Cloutson topic: Butler,condra and locke have played half their games on the 3rd/4th line. Cowen had limited ice time during pre-season in a year he could've made the jump. The kovalev demotion fiasco and his man crushes are bad for this team. his system is mediocre and our offensive puck turnovers lead to no puck pressure and the other team just walks down the red carpet into our zone every time. I'm glad murray answered our goaltending issues as far as a starter goes and i hope if dave cameron is apart of this organization he starts as an assistant to a credible nhl coach.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Until recently, Greening & Condra wouldn't have been considered great draft picks. It's funny how Mucks' 5th-7th rounders are suddenly appearing. If you look at players drafted in and around Mucks' picks. We could have had some crazy talent in our lineup right now. A few examples are choosing 3rd rounders Regin (87th) and Glass (89th) over Edler (91st) and Franzen (97th). Also, Lee over Staal? I could go on...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Cloutson sucks. BTW he doesn't work well with the kids, condra, greening,karlso n and butler have all had 2 goals in a game and he failed to give them the ice time to get the hatty. Lehner sat almost 20 games while he watched elliot stink up the place. Da costa getting low minutes and playing with guys that won't help his play. How exactly has cloutson been good for our youth?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'll be one of the first in line to criticize how Murray's handled the Sens in recent years, but I like that he has been extended. The wealth of picks accumulated in this year's exodus of dead weight is in the best hands possible as we head in to the draft. I'm hoping it's a good year for prospects and we steal a few sleepers. Our chances are that much better, and given Murray's proven drafting record, I'll trust him to steer us through the rebuild. Maybe they brought him back because there's little expectation of really competing for the next few.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Honestly, yes Murray has messed up with certain free agent signings as well as extensions; but year after year he is bringing in top level depth talent to this team to compete in the playoffs...i.e. Matt Cullen, Mike Comrie. He is amazing at the draft and is probably the best at finding the ncaa gems (or at least the best at getting them to play for his teams). Yes there is bad that goes along with this signing, but what GM has not brought any whatsoever downside to an organization? He has done everything the fans had asked of him during this rebuild, he has brought in a goaltender, amazing prospect depth at defense and kept Jason Spezza. That to me sounds like a potential Stanley Cup contender down the road.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@hman, whether it's Murray or another GM, the next 3 year WILL be painful! Patience is a virtue and this is time to build. It will take some time! Personally, I welcome the change; No expectations other than seing our prospects develop. Muckler left us with nothing to build around yet Murray managed to draft well and rebuild Bingo. As a rebuilding team, we won't see Murray sign high end contracts on July 1st or even get aging players at trade deadline. Because of this, we'll get to see another side of Murray and I'm a firm believer that he'll do very well.]]></description>

We went from stanley cup finals to 2 years first round elimination to 2 years of no playoffs. REALLY, 3 More years of this clown. He got kicked out of Anaheim and should be kicked out now. Even Melynk looks like a lost duck. TALK ABOUT MESSING A TEAM UP, THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT. i AM NOT A SENS HATER, I LOVE THE SENS BUT THIS IS REALLY REALLY bad.

			<description><![CDATA[ Remember that successful teams are built through the draft and with wise scouting (ie. Pittsburgh, Washington, Detroit, Chicago & New Jersey). When Murray replaced Muckler as GM, the cupboard was left completely empty. Murray was left in a weird place where he had a very competitive team with barely any future prospects coming down the pipeline. Murray is just now able to start putting his stamp on the team and I'm excited about the future! Brian Lee I believe is the only player that was drafted my Muckler left in the system. Muckler left us squat.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm glad he's coming back for 3 yrs. He will get to see the progression of his draft picks/signings hopefully be successful in the NHL. Silfverberg, Petersson, Sorensen, Lehner, Caporusso, Ben Blood, Jeff Costello, Mark Stone, Wacey Hamilton, Culek, Borowicki, Grant, Cowen, Rundblad. He sure has a lot of prospects after 4 years but we have to be cautious in predicting all of these players will play in the NHL we don't know that. When Murray took over Sens young players were, I believe, Regin, Foligno, Lee, Greening & Condra. That's after 6 draft years of Muckler. I may have missed a couple I can't remember. But there should have been a lot more young players after that many drafts. This will probably be Murray's last contract, expires in 3 yrs same as Steve Yzerman's contract, I believe. Now that would be a great replacement. Hoping for an experienced coachnot Cameron. I would rather see Kleinindorst coming up than Cameron.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Can you honestly tell me another GM, that's willing to come to Ottawa, that could rebuild the team better than Murray?? Murray took over the Muckler mess and did what he could after being sacked by Heatley, I think he actually deserves to have a clean slate and to start re-building his way, he was handed a shit sandwich and you can't deny that. After the 3 years is up, then the book will be out on Murray, because the last 3-4 years have been a direct result of the Muckler mess, and the Kovalev siging most likely was influenced by Melnyk. Stop hatin' HATER! haha]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Why? It's a terrible day because the individual who oversaw the shockingly rapid decline of this hockey club has been rewarded on the basis of a short term, unsustainable, burst of competence. It's inexcusable because there is no reason this needs to be done today, and they could have left the day open to reflect on Foote's career - it should have been his day. Unless you ARE Adam Foote, this argument is surreal. There's more than enough room to acknowledge the retirement of a shut-down d-man AND the 3 year extension of a general manager. Take a deep breath. It's just hockey.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ You have to be joking.. NO thank you. Wouldn't want Carbonneau either, but someone from that 1992 Habs cup winning squad I could stomach is Kirk Muller. Long NHL career, but not too old. He was exceptional at BOTH ends of the ice and has been an assistant for a while now, hasn't he? One of those heart and soul guys - there's a reason the moniker Captain Kirk stuck.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@ meadowdog I concede I was not thinking about the depth chart and it looks tough to crack at the very least. However, my post said 50/50 at best, if I remember correctly and it was more about Spezza's improvement. I didn't think a few years ago that we'd see Spezza on the PK now. He could easily still be in his prime at the next Olympics, given his age. I guess all I'm saying is that with his ongoing maturation, he improved all sorts of aspects of his game. If he can phase out the giveaways and continue his improvement, he'd force consideration for the Olympic roster. Especially true if another star C has a bad year or if, as you pointed out, there are injuries. I'd call it optimistic, not crazy or "out to lunch"]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Why?

I doubt that Adam Foote cares one way or the other but I agree with the rest of your post. For four years Murray and Melnyk thought this team would make some noise in the playoffs and the end result was a grand total of two playoff games won even after trading away a first round and two second round picks. Why reward that?]]></description>

I think a guy who won an Olympic gold medal for Canada ought to be the biggest hockey story on the day he ends his 20 year NHL career. You don't have to agree with me. It surprises me, because while I have my doubts about Melnyk's hockey judgment I have always had great respect for the class he's shown as an owner.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Im surprised that anyone is questioning Murray's ability to rebuild a team, do all you nay sayers already forget 07. It was Murray who built that team, then Burke comes in and makes one or two moves and boom, Stanley cup. Imagine how the poor guy felt when a line of Getzlaf, Perry, and Penner, all players Murray had brought into the organization would dominate the series over his team. What i'm saying here is that Murray will do the majority of the work, then the next guy will look like the hero when he takes over in three years time]]></description>

We did not know we were going to suck this year as bad as we did, if we did I doubt Gonchar would have been signed. I for one would not be looking for any big contracts for the team, players that get the big dollars do not have to prove anything, I would take a young prospect that will do whatever it takes to make a name for himself and a paycheck all day long. I also would not be shocked to see Dacosta thrown in for a better draft pick ours or nashville. The Draft is going to be exciting. Spezza playing for Canada Awesome.]]></description>

My point is that on the last Olympic team all the centres except Thornton were younger than Spezza. With Tavares, Duchene, Stamkos and God knows who else not having peaked yet I just don't see much liklihood of an over age 30 Spezza being a factor in 2014. It should be a hell of a team though.]]></description>

On the other hand some other teams in the conference will likely be more competitive next year as well, including the Devils, those arseholes down the 401, not to mention what other teams make tweaks over the summer.

Right now, I'd rank canadian centermen: Crosby Getzlaf Stamkos (will probably shift to wing for olympics) Staal Toews M Richards Spezza B Richards Tavares Duchene Especially the way Spezza has really started to show he can be an all-around player. Now all that depends on how guys like Duchene and Tavares improve by 2014, Spezza might end up lower on that list and then its totally out of the question. As for the people talking about B Richards, Parise, etc, just shutup already. Never gonna happen.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ From one Sensible sens fan to another. Remember that successful teams are built through the draft and with wise scouting (ie. Pittsburgh, Washington, Detroit, Chicago & New Jersey). When Murray replaced Muckler as GM, the cupboard was left completely empty. Murray was left in a weird place where he had a very competitive team with barely any future prospects coming down the pipeline. I think what happened to the team in the last few years would have happened to any GM. It's a cause and effect thing. Murray is just now able to start putting his stamp on the team and I'm excited about the future!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@boom I agree with you. What have we "lost" since we had higher hopes at the beginning of the season? Kelly and Fisher? Look at the youth coming up, and the sudden confidence we have in net! If anything we all hope, and for Alfie's sake and not just the organization, that he can come back and contribute at a high level again next year. Either way, with all this in mind, depending how the draft goes, how July 1st goes, if we can move Gonch OR Kuba.. these sort of factors, next year has the potential to be a huge bounce back year. But there are still a lot of "ifs".]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[AFM11 Dude you are way out to lunch, why the hell would ANY SENS fan be happy about signing a lethargic russian named Kovalev, especially when he still bled Blue Blanc Rouge! This signing had nothing to do with Murray as he was brought here on the wish our our owner the "Euge". Gonchar I was ok with as we desperately needed a PMD and QB on the PP, it didnt work out, its not the first time a FA signing goes south.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I can't believe how many people out there are sure that the Sens are "at least 2 or 3 years away" from being a contender. Based on what??? You all make it sound like we traded Gretzky for a pail of pucks. Mike Fisher was, and always will be the most over-rated player we've ever had, so trading him for a 1st sure doesn't set us back very much. Chris Kelly was supposed to be a penalty killer supreme? Then how come we were always average, at best, at PK? Trading Kovalev and Ruutu sure can't be what drives this nonsense? I just don't get it. At the most, we took a baby step backwards, but we are not "starting from scratch" like alot of you seem to think.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[1) Earlier, we looked like we would finish last or second last. Will we be looking at players taken in 1-3 in a few years and thinking that could have been a key piece for us? 2) When the Anderson trade first went down Mike Eastwood noted that coming into Ottawa there was no pressure at all given our record and the way goalies had played. For me the question is what happens next year when the pressure is back? Do we see the Sens version of Anderson or the guy Colorado traded for virtually a bag of pucks I am not saying this will happen, but lets see how this all plays out. 3) We do need someone steady in net for the young kids but I realistically think we are 2 probably 3 seasons from playoff contention and 4-5 seasons from being an elite team. Will Anderson be a quality number 1 goalie for us at time? Will we be looking for a goalie if Lehner does not pan out? Again, not knocking Murray on this one but I am not ready to give a pat on the back either.]]></description>
