			<description><![CDATA[ Actually this is one of the smarter things I've heard on getting a backup goalie. He'd likely play for cheap to get back in the NHL and showcase his (remaining) skills in the playoffs, and we'd give up nothing to get him. The only downside is the message it sends Anderson: "thanks for dragging us into the playoffs, now take a seat while we go look for someone better" Of course if Turco came exclusively as a backup, the story could be different, but I can't see him taking a contract without at least a shot at the #1 job. I have to also think that he dug in his heels on the minimum he'd play for, or he never would have left for Europe in the first place nope, never intended to suggest his hiring as a starter, purely as a backup to rest anderson before the playoffs. and really the way anderson is playing without a break, we just need a spot filler who can keep the winning going on. and as per wikipedia, he is not playing right now, just a FA. there are a few options out there that are better than Alex Auld which I think the sens should look at. But again, Bingo's season seems to be down past the drain already and I think Lehner can be called up much earlier because of that and a replacement goalie put in Bingo for the balance of the AHL season. A big reason for the recent win streak is Anderson's play, infact most games the sens have won is because of him holding the fort strong, very few games have been outright blowouts of the opposition won solely on the backs of the offense and defense. don't want to burn him now to make the playoffs not worth it. I think the sens current roster with anderson in net stands a very very strong chance in the playoffs, even dare I say against the bruins.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If the size of his feet and hands are any indication, if you were to attempt your suggestion, you will likely come out of the experience stretched, torn and blodied. Not something that you would want to do unless you are a child molester than enjoyed your time in prison... Did you really need to go into all that to get your point across that you disagree with Shawn's 2-word rant? We don't need to see that shit written on here, it's juvenile and offensive.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[with Montreal and Buffalo losing again last night the east is shaping up more and more to be a battle between 10 teams for 8 playoff spots. Ottawa is right in the middle, you got to like our chances. only two of 10 won't make it vs 7 of 15 to start the year. Can Ottawa outlast Florida, Toronto, and/or Winnipeg? not that far fetched! Go Sens! Lets steal one tonight in San Jose!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ not worth it because it would end up making a conference-riva l much stronger than us in the end. look at it this way: philly right now has giroux,schenn and couturier down the middle already, we give them one more 1st rounder which might turn into a stud centerman. philly has hoarded a lot of picks and prospects over the past couple of years through some pretty aggressive trading. not a good trade partner for the sens long term. sens need to keep their picks this year because a restocking is needed actually. and they need to start getting centremen who can play in the NHL down the road to keep a formidable lineup down the middle. You can say that about any trade when trading picks ..put to compare centres we still have Spezza 28 Turris 21 Smith 23 and Mika 18 ...too Briere 33 Giroux 23 Schenn 20 Couturier 18 All im saying if there willing to part with a former 2nd overall 1 pick ahead of Turris in 07 draft ..If we arent mortaging the future why not ...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Anybody see the Murray interview? Must watch. I fully endorse the idea of adding a "substantial piece" if the Sens do indeed make the playoffs and in a good position. The team has proven it can compete. What we need however, is that one other top line guy. I've been a fan of the Green Monster in his short NHL career so far, but let's be honest, is he really a top line guy? Not sure how much Murray is willing to part with to get a guy, but if we could have someone complete this ______-Spezza-M ichalek that would improve our team a lot heading in. I'd also like to see Foligno somewhere in the top 6 he deserves it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think the Auld bashers are overlooking some of the intangible assets he brings to the team. Sure, he's a bit of a liability every time he's between the pipes, but he's also known as one of those great "team" guys and is there to help out, not to upstage Andy. I would hope he'd consider moving to the front office or helping out behind the bench a la Luke Richardson at the end of his contract.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[just curious why everyone is so quick to dump on Kuba or Philips. is it just me that thinks Gonchar is a huge liability on D? sure he helps on the PP but you would think he would be better (or at least try harder) in his own zone. how often does he cough up the puck when forechecked by the other team. i would think we would dump Gonchar and his big ass contract before either Kuba or Philips especially if a team wants to pay up for him. I can't believe i am going to write this, but I would even contemplate re-signing Kuba if the money is right.]]></description>

He's pretty much their big brother. Also, from what I've seen of Spezza's personality over the years he'd be the last to take this kind of thing seriously, assuming anyone does.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Agree to disagree is fine. I'm not saying that you can't make a case for Phillips having lost some of his value. I just say that it does go beyond his stats. And the difference between Lee and Phillips is nowhere where it used to be. Lee can be better than Phillips on any given night even today - but Lee doesn't have the leadership and experience that Phillips does. If we were making our cup run now, I'd probably want to replace Phillips with someone else (especially for that cap space) but when we're still hoping our young guys will learn as they play I think having Phillips on the ice and in the locker room is valuable. Ask Cowen in 2-3 years how important Phillips was in his development - I bet it's significant.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[And on to the trade talk; I really hope the Oil don't trade Smyth... like, what kind of example does it show Hall, RNH, Eberle, etc.: "Hey guys, we want to build a dynasty around you, our young core players! So, play your hearts and souls out, risk and sustain injuries for the team, fall in love with the city and fans, end up looking like ugly old Ryan Smyth, and in the end we'll traded you away; TWICE if we can..." Really? And for what, for picks? Really? Isn't he more valuable teaching the younger ones how to play his brand of hockey? I love Smyth, and I hope he doesn't get traded. And for all you that say, 'oh well, he can resign with the Oil in the off-season' - SURE, and what about the guy's wife and kids? I'm sure he won’t mind moving away from them in a heartbeat to land the Oil a 2nd-round pick... STUPID! Speaking of Stupid - Travis Yost has picked up on my trade prediction regarding Prospal... I few weeks back I suggested grabbing Prospal or Hagman: no one seemed to like my Hagman pitch, but whatever. All I meant by my post was that both are wingers, are (supposedly) scorers, are UFAs come season’s end, and both play on lottery-destine d teams (CBJ and ANA, respectively). Originally, I suggested trading Butler for one of them because I was frustrated with Mr. Butler’s play; however, I should be so hard on the guy. Last night, when Butler almost redirected a Foligno seeing-eye pass above Rainman, I mean Reimer, I was really impressed that Butler was able to keep on his feet and make contact with the puck; next time, that might go in. Still, while I don’t think Butler will turn into a great scorer, I think he’ll improve a lot in a short while and will bring back a larger return once he proves he can score on a consistent basis. I guess I’ve changed my mind to: trade him next deadline… And @Mat: We should definitely be looking at Parenteau if the price isn't too high... What's a guy like that worth, anyway?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I always liked Chara, & I'm sure a good number of hater's hate Zdeno because they're still bitter about Redden; it wasn't Big Z's fault that Redden liked coke, or that the Sens wanted a coked-up Redden over a McCabe-crushing Slovak (McCabe versus Chara: an all-time fave). On that Slovak point: We put Heatley before Hossa and Redden before Chara; not cool, but blame hindsight & not management... or both... ya, let's blame both. Personally, at the time, I only disagreed with the decision to let Chara walk… BUT I’m still a Hossa fan (REMEMBER THE SONG WHEN HE SCORED: HO-SSA HO-SSA – amazing!)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The internal budget and cash flow is definitely an issue. But like you said, if convinced, Melnyk may be willing to give his GM a little flexibility. It will boil down to Murray going to Melnyk and saying "If I can go $x over budget, I think we can have y playoff home games." Melnyk is still a fan and if it's an extra 500k or $1M but he sees value (in either extra gate attendance or just in amusement for himself) he'll do it. But he's going to make Murray talk him into as he should. Really, we should be glad that we have an owner that's got plenty of "fan" in him but not completely nutso where he's going to try and talk Murray INTO spending money when we shouldn't.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@miguel, You can't judge Phillips by "numbers". He's not here to score goals and his +/- will never tell the whole story either. Next time you're at a game, count how many times they have Phillips or his partner of the day hold the puck while the forwards change (for example). Or watch how the other team changes the way they enter the zone based on which pairing we have out. You can believe he's lost it and that's your opinion, but I think you're looking at the wrong things. And while he's not as solid as he was, and he's not the top shutdown guy in the league or anything, I think he's a big part of our team. I don't pay his salary so I don't care if he should make less money. I do think that we need a guy like him if only to help the younger guys understand how to play the game right. I know people LOVE to crap all over that notion, that it's the coach's job etc. But there's no substitute for watching a veteran teammate day-in, day-out when you're a young player. That's why Phillips, Neil and of course Alfie are as important to the rebuild as Spezza - even though those three will be gone before we win our cup while Spezza will get to lift it first.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My 2 cents worth...Way to go Alfie. He deserves to wear the C and our Sens would be lost without him. No one else on the team can play & handle the puck like him. Not that I have seen yet anyways...As for Chara wearing the C...well obviously he deserves it as well....The Senators pencil pushers should have never let him go to begin with....Anderso n has been fantastic in nets and has more often than not, been the reason why our team has won as many games as they have..But he does need a good relief goalie so he can get a break now and again....It's that kid COWEN, that bugs me. I think he is useless and not ready for the NHL,yet...they should get rid of him.....I sincerely hope they ( the pencil pushers) don't get rid of or trade or whatever anyone major, that is playing right now....because our team is clicking and doing well. Don't upset the apple cart....If it is not broke, don't fix it..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[I think that people are right, there will be no trade for an impact UFA on this team before the end of the season. Why mess with a good thing right? But whether there's a bit more room for depth, and perhaps some veteran playoff experience presence, I think is a worthy question. I think we could improve for the playoffs with the addition of an experienced 2nd or 3rd line winger. Maybe even as precaution in case of injuries. My top picks for UFA pick ups at the deadline: P.A. Parenteau (assuming NYI does not see him as part of future plans) Ray Whitney or Damon Langkow (IF Phoenix is not in the running) Tuomo Ruutu Travis Moen]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hax, we are complete agreement on the Turris trade, both will be winners. But I will have to disagree on the Philips assessment. If he was in any other city, he would most likely be winding down his career and not signing for 10 Mil 3 more years. His numbers the past two years have been atrocious, and right now he seems to be one of our worst D-men, in our own end. Do you think it is possible that they are trying to find anyone that can play with him? Lets face it, he was never fleet of foot, and has now even slowed down, when the game pace has increased. He is constantly turning the puck over, and is alwasy backing way up giving opposing forwards the blue line, b/c if he tries to stand them up, they will easily skate around him. I am sorry, but as much as he is a "great guy" he is our version of Komiserik, I really feel we would be better off with Lee in the lineup...again this is only my opinion, and clearly not everyones]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ It's too early to sign big ticket UFAs. Summer of 2013 maybe, more likely summer of 2014. Of course, if a young UFA is looking for a reasonable 5-year deal then fine.

			<description><![CDATA[Personally I don't want to see Murray move any picks at all but if it means that Murray can get someone cheap for a lets say a fourth or fifth round pick like for example Ryan Smyth should Murray do that? A good player that Murray should look at is Ryan Smyth. Another option Murray should at is maybe trading for a RFA next summer maybe somthing like this for example Brian Lee for Eric Fehr. Some other rfa's Murray should look at but they might cost too much to get are Chris Stewart or TJ Galiardi.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well put and could not agree more. We're actually not quite as good as our record indicates (too many points where we had to pull of miracle comebacks). BUT we've got the potential to be much better than our record if we could play 60 minutes at the same level. Not strange for a young team to be like that - hopefully we gradually learn to just play hard from the start instead of only "getting going" when we're down a goal or two.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I believe in that Buffalo series Chara was playing with a broken hand. The only good move Muckler made was re-signing Phillips & Volchy to decent contracts.. He blindsided Hossa in that trade for (fu.... all-star) and Hossa was the better overall player.. The players that were key to Ottawa's SCF run... we all here prior to Muckler arriving... so he really did not bring in anyone.. oh I forgot -- Corvo, Gerber & Hasek.. Just want the Sens to start playing 3 periods of hockey.. not 1... sooner or later their luck will run out playing that way. Great win last night... if they go .500 on this road trip.. that would be great. It's gonna be a tough one.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@miguel I think both teams "won" the Turris trade. I'm certainly happy with it right now and expect to always be (though I was pissed when I first heard we let Rundblad go). But I still think Rundblad will be a stud in a few years. In regards to Phillips - I really don't get where people are getting this "liability" BS. He's not always perfect but he plays in situations other guys don't and is expected to do more on his own etc. He's the one D-man to have mutliple partners this year and I think he's still a guy I want on the ice when we're killing a penalty or proecting a late lead.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Still on a high from last nights win over the Laffs and have some comments What a great way to end my B-day, Sens beat the Laffs, in a statement game, to keep them out of the playoffs! I will be very happy to admit that I was very wrong about the Turris trade. I did not know much about him, but he is very much a 200ft player, ala Red Wing type, like a Zetterberg. Even if Rundblad pans out as I am sure he will, we did not need what he brought, as we have Karlsson already in the fold. But what a very pleasant surprise Turris has been for me, and as someone already noted, it is very easy to forget he is our youngest forward on the team... WoW to think of what his peak might be!!! But have to say we really need to give some better support to Anderson...he is exaclty what I expected him to be, and if we had him 8 years ago we would probably have a couple of cups by now. I know that there are some Philips die hards on this forum, and he really is more than a reputable character, and great person, but the reality is, so is Chirp, but he is not making 3 mil, to play lousy Defense. Philips best days are 3 years removed, he is getting worse every year, and unfortunatley does not have the mobility to keep up to todays speedy forwards, he is a liability now, so please pass the stick on to Brian Lee, who is younger, faster and better the Philips right now. IMHO of course]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I dont blame Chara for leaving. It's been reported that everyone wanted him over Redden but Muckler ruined it. Story of his management tenure minus a few good moves. But at the end of the day, I always wanted more from Chara when he played here. That series against Buffalo in 06 was some of his worst hockey defensively. He gave up at times. And it's made matters worse that he's started to play well in the playoffs recently. Where was that for us?]]></description>

The only people even talking about it are laugh fans. that and the fact that apparently Spezza was sitting on reimer's head when the 2nd goal was scored...cry me a river I say...if the roles were reversed, they would have been screaming it was a good goal. fickle/retarded bunch they are those leaf fans.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ what if the Sens traded Auld to Dallas for Andrew Raycroft? Despite his rep, he has been a pretty reliable backup for Dallas and Vancouver the last few years. He got roughed up a bit this year but it couldnt hurt. it would be a straight up trade but I don't know why Dallas would bother since Raycroft is in the minors. they really wouldnt gain anything in Auld. (mainly due to them going with their younger guy earlier than expected) worst case, Raycroft sucks and they bring up Lehner to start a few keys games down the stretch and backup in the playoffs. I just dont know if the sens could get any other backup without giving up a pick or something of value which they shouldnt.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I will freely admit that at the time I thought Redden was going to be move valuable than Chara. "In the new NHL". Not many people predicted that Chara would still be a force in the new "not touchie" NHL. And not many people predicted that Redden would plummet to Earth like a meteorite. In hindsight, sure, it's a horrible mistake made by Muckler. But I personally can't be too hard on him as I didn't cry foul at the time.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Good to see everyone weighing in on Ryan. I'd be tempted to do it solely for the reason that like Turris, Ryan fits well into the rebuild. It is fast tracking the rebuild. Ryan is 24 years old and signed to a cap-friendly 5.1 mil per year for another 3 or 4 years. He's shown his worth on an offensively heavy top line (Perry-Getzlaf- Ryan) that we could create here in Ottawa (Michalek-Spezz a-Ryan) Thats my opinion anyways. Obviously if we could get Parise with the same package that would be favourable, but the bennefit of Ryan is he is a RW. ZBad is a right wing so theres a trade off there, AND Alfie is a RW so Ryan could serve as a replacement should Alfie retire this year or next year.]]></description>
