			<description><![CDATA[ yea thats why i said nearly anyone in the lockeroom. guess i shoulda been more specific. he likely wont have more offencive talent than spezza or maybe turris. Well guys to be honest, I dont see Zibby the same way anymore, especially after 2 concussion at 19 years old. You have to take that into account that he might not turn out to be top line material. I already thought he was a borderline 2nd line player and might take him 4-5 years to develop into a top line player. But now with his concussion issues... I think I would take Iggy to play alongside Spezza for 2-3 more years, Alfie retires and kids look to Iggy and Spezza for leadership. And dont give me this Iginla is on the decline bullshit, put him with Spezza and he hits 35+ easily. i'm an expert on concussions... i've had 13 of them. sometimes i woke up in the hospital confused how i got there and whos clothes i was wearing, sometimes i made it home and layed down with a cold face cloth being woke up every hour to make sure i didn't pass out, i think there's a risk of going into a coma if your unlucky enough. let me say this i have had severe concussions as well as soft aftershock ones and i didn't get any playing hockey ever and i made it to junior a as a goalie. my injuries were all from my asphalt playground at my elementry school, usually from sliding on ice then crashing into something solid or getting tripped up. along as you don't hit your head again while your brain is bruised (usually takes a week or two depending on severity) then you should be fine. i think he's more then good to go by now, it wont hamper him. later in life he may develop migrane headaches and be sensitive to bright light,]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[New post up. The thing about concussions is that they're not new. What's new is that they're diagnosed now and people are much more cautious (as they should be). But I guarantee you that there are hundreds of guys in the NHL hall of fame who had a couple of concussions before they turned 20 and (obviously) went on to have great NHL careers. We should be concerned about Mika, but there's no reason to believe he can't still have the great future we hoped he'd have on draft day.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I agree with this and would add that our team obviously has it's own identity and something we are reforging a bit during this "rebuild". It just doesn't sit well with me bringing in another team's icon player, especially from another Canadian team. It would be weird to see Iginla here the same way it would be with Ryan Smyth. That would be up there with seeing Alfie go suit up for the Oil. Those are the only two players I can think of on current Canadian rosters who I wouldn't want to see here, simply because of who they are and the legacy they represent. None of the other CDN franchises have a player of their magnitude or of Alfie's and what these players mean to their respective cities.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ While I agree Iggy could pot 35 on Spezza's wing (and I'm also concerned about Zibanejad's health long-term).... Are you saying Iginla is in his prime? That he can contribute for the next 5-10 years? You don't trade away a guy drafted 6th last year and our first for this year for Iginla - which is what another poster suggested to start this discussion. IF we know for a fact that Zibanejad will never play top line and IF Calgary somehow doesn't and wants to trade Iginla for him straight up - sure. But that ain't happening either. Some team with its window closing will offer more for Iginla than we will/should. Case closed. Well ya I agree, our 2012 picks we keep, maybe offer a roster player + Prospect. And no, I said for the next 2-3 years, Iggy would be a great addition to this team, possibly make some great Cup runs in year 2-3 of his contract, maybe he re-signs for one last ditch effort for year 4. He would be greatly depended on as when Alfie leaves, only Spezza is left carrying the load. Iggy cuold help out alot. Just depends what the asking price will be. If its a roster player + a prospect I say do it. So I think we agree. Iginla is one of the few guys over 30 in the league that I'd be excited to have on our team but not if we have to pay much for him. And I'm pretty sure other teams will offer WAY more than I would want us to. Honestly I'd only consider NHL12 type trades - i.e. Petersson and Wiercioch at the most and even that I'm not sure I'd do - and I know Calgary wouldn't take that. They could get more from another team.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[as much as people love Iggy, myself being one of him..give more credit to him creating the golden goal than I do Sidney, I just don't see him coming to Ottawa...will be a very steep cost, one that during a rebuild we cannot just afford to pay...yeah Mika may have concussion issues now, and its pretty well documented that he has, I wouldn't agree with trading him away, he could recover fully if managed right and go one to play another 10 to 15 years at least, granted his style of play would promote the possibility of this happening again.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I don't know why you have such a hate-on for Pierre. I find him intriguing, would love to see for sure what he could do at the GM helm of a historic organization like Montreal! Regarding possible signings this summer/ F**K SEMIN! Not only a risky move but totally contrary to the sandpaper + hard work mentality Paulrus has instilled on our squad this year. Last thing we need is a lazy entitled player, and his ethnicity doesn't help - doubly so now that Radulov and Kostitsyn bullshit from this week... I think PA Parenteau would look great in a Sens uniform, but if anything we need top 6 help on the left wing position, not right. I used to like McGuire too - until: A) I heard him on Montreal radio blowing the same smoke up the Habs fans asses as he blows up ours on Team 1200. B) I met him in Anaheim in 2007. Guy is a complete egomaniac and doesn't give a rats ass about anyone but himself. While Bob Mackenzie was chatting with fans about the 2007 draft class and other hockey stuff McGuire completely ignored everyone except when people kept calling to him then he told a bunch of people off and even used the "do you realize who I am" line. Can't stand him.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Totally agree that the future is bright and that our team next year could be very deep and win the division even. But I think that Murray et al still need to keep in the "rebuild" mindset. Regardless of how good this team is now, it will be better in a few years and they better not do anything to ruin that. Karlsson, Cowen, Turris, Greening - all should be better in a few years (of course it's possible that injuries etc derail one of them). Taking any prospects and trading them away for aging guys on the downside (i.e. Iginla) would be very foolish. You only sell your future for "now" when your window is closing which won't happen until Karlsson starts to decline (or if we somehow lose him) - which of course is years and years away.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My thoughts are that Zibanejad will make it next year but Noesen will play in Binghampton for a season. Kuba will cost a bit more if we decide to keep him for another year and Karlsson $1m less per annum for 4 years. It shows that Murray has possibilities. That was really more my point. If he can find a way to grab a top line winger (easier said than done), even if that player isn't quite of Parise quality, then Ottawa looks very deep next year. Obviously lots of development happens for many players over the summer, and anything can happen in training camp. None of those rookies I put on there could make the team, and someone else off the radar could. The point is exactly as you stated, there are lots of possibilities.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Outside of Semin, and Parise, who is also likely to resign with New Jersey, he doesn't have a lot to choose from. I don't mind Semin, but I'm not sure if the Sens are going to throw the risk card on him. I would love it if Murray went after Brad Stuart! Although, I'm thinking that the Wings re sign him to a long term deal but man, Stuart would look good on our back end. He'd be great alongside Phillips, and a great mentor to Cowen.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Subban out of the WHC before things even get rolling. Welcome to the fold Jason Spezza perhaps? Not sure if they already had 7D on the roster. Still can't believe they didn't leave enough spots open after round one to bring guys like Spezza in. Major management screw-up especially when you consider this WHC will affect the Olympic seeding. I get that they'd already sent out the invitations but either way they messed up and it looks bad. When a guy who's 4th in points in the whole league says he wants to play in a tournament that lots of players turn their nose up at right after playing in the playoffs you make it happen. Shameful of hockey Canada to screw this one up.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Murray wants a top 6 forward that can score 25 goals. While the prospects look to be very good.. it's not a guarantee. He also wants a defensive defenseman... my guess to play in the top 4... That will cost bucks... what do we think the budget will be between 50 - 55M? I guess depending on what the cap comes in at..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Really on the fence with Filip Kuba. Wouldn't want to see him back for more than 2 mill. As for the defence, I'm with the most of Sens fans in saying Ryan Suter would be a welcomed addition. If not, Matt Carle would be awesome too. Up front I know Murray has coveted PA Parenteau for some time, but I don't want to see any changes up front. With Silfverberg and Zibanejad expected to push for a spot, and even Mark Stone as a dark horse, we don't need to add another outside contract. This team has proven they can create offense with the guys we have. As for the draft: Olli Maata baby!]]></description>

Unless he brings in a big name that is not going to happen. Remember Chris Stevenson said -- unnamed New Jersey players contacted unnamed Sens players to tell them how lucky they were to play in a system with so much creativity. If by chance Parise is interested in Ottawa.. would it be foolish for the Sens to refuse? You get him... he makes your top 6 really tough to beat... He wants that Cup -- he has to spend some funds. Kuba's contract is gone this year.. Gonchar & Alfie next year... so getting someone like Parise... would counter those 3 contracts more or less -- plus the raises for the young guys.. which won't amount to much except for Karlsson & Turris after next season.]]></description>

But I would rather have iggy then a really good third line center men. You "rebuild" guys are the ones that thought trading runblad was stupid.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What team goes toe to toe with the #1 team in the eastern conference in the playoffs and is still in a full blown rebuild. Spezza and Turris are our 1 and 2. Zibby is somewhat expendable and a center men to play with barstchi is exactly what the flames want. We have a great tema now with massive depth with propects and players. This rebuild happened faster then anyone thought and I am sure it has everything to do with Maclean. Now is the time to win Alfie a cup and iggy will play another 5 years. 5 great years.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Three words..... JEROME FREAKIN IGINLA!! !!! praise would be amazing but we are going to have to commit to a crazy big contract. 6 to 7 mill with term. But jerome only has a 7 mill contract for one more year. Then he will be up for an Allie type contract (4.5ish into retirement) He gives us what we need now to win a cup with Alfie and will help fill the void when Alfie does retire. Parise is free but his price will handcuff us later. Jerome will cost prospects and picks we can afford right now and could be a perfect fit long term. I truely believe he gives us the best chance to win a cup in the next two years over Parise. Zibby and a 1st rounder plus some other crap would probably get it done.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Agreed that Melnyk should just be quiet. But no chance we grab Suter, Nash, or Parise. I'm not sure why that's so hard for people to comprehend. 1) We are still in rebuild mode, and the Euge would probably rather spend his money on Karl... 2) We have very little to offer the "star players" besides money and playing alongside Jason Spezza who most experts don't even consider a top C in the league (fuckers), and... 3) We already have a star player, his name is Erik Karlsson. Jason Spezza sometimes, when he feels like showing up. Karl will get signed to a fair contract. If anything, I trust Murray to overpay him... While we're on the topic of signings... I'm thinking this summers big spenders will be the Jets (after assessing the team's first year in Winnipeg, they've got a good idea on what to do now probably), Preds (for a team with plenty of space, they can do a lot to improve their team... they're looking real dangerous for the next little while) and Wings (could be Lidstrom/Holmst rom's last season).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think the Sens should probably trade their first pick to maybe get a late first and a 2nd. Rather have 2 picks for the one. Seeing we lost our 2nd for Bishop. Or the Sens could just package Bishop + our 3rd rounder for another first rounder. Then we would have 2 first rounders. Although Bishop is nice to have in the system. The sens have so many bodies around its ridiculous. What I would really like to see is Gonchar sent to a team(a la Campbell) who has to spend to the league minimum - do you think its feasible or is he just trade deadline bait in February? Would Nash be a good backup Plan if Parise is a no go? With so many bodies the Sens could make a package for Nash. Although then you have Spezza and Nash(neither of them really comfortable being the go to guy). Ok will spare you guys my Spezza bashing, promise to be more positive following my playoff meltdown. Turris to me will be the real story in 2012-13 - I think that this will be a real breakout year for him. He's so responible on the ice and we could see in the playoffs he was more and more comfortable with the puck. He's like a young Alfie!]]></description>

If he becomes part of the organisation the message gets controlled and that message will be available on TSn, the sens own website, NHL and elsewhere. I come here primarily for the discussion and the chance to shoot the shit with other sens fans. Secondly I come here for the occasional rumour that generates discussion and thirdly confirmation of various things like line-up changes, call-ups and the like.

			<description><![CDATA[ Apparently Spezza contacted Lowe once the Sens were eliminated and asked to play for Canada in the WHC. He was told the roster was full (though the last two additions were not announced until later - so even it was technically full they clearly could have waited to see if anyone decent became available after the NYR/OTT series, you know, guys like the highest scoring Canadian or that Richards guy who's half decent etc). This is why Lowe is an ass-hat. It would be one thing to not add players mid tourney like when 2nd round teams get eliminated, but the tournament hasn't started, plus Spezza has been there for Hockey Canada a lot in the past and deserves to be there, this year more than ever. Nothing short of a slap in the face to Jason and to Ottawa hockey fans. F U Lowe. Yeah it would not have hurt to save one spot for an extra day and have the option to invite Spezza or Richards. Oh well - hopefully it just motivates Spezza even more.]]></description>

He has definitely manned up and taken the name as per the wager, and never once did he waver, so say what you want he is a man of his word. The wager was for a year, but Tooks has asked for a reprieve, that it be moved to after the draft. I have said that I think that the start of next season would be fair, or should he have to wait until next year is up? So far 2 votes for the draft 1 for the start of next year 0 for the full year, Any more votes?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey Chirp Sorry about the website issues, as much as it sucks for you, it also sucks for the fans who come here on a daily basis. One option is to go solo, use a free blog site and get started. You could pay someone a small fee to build you something, something you could potentially update on your own after it's completed. It just depends how much time, effort and $$$ you can muster up. Whatever you decide on, it HAS to have a great comment section.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Apparently Spezza contacted Lowe once the Sens were eliminated and asked to play for Canada in the WHC. He was told the roster was full (though the last two additions were not announced until later - so even it was technically full they clearly could have waited to see if anyone decent became available after the NYR/OTT series, you know, guys like the highest scoring Canadian or that Richards guy who's half decent etc). This is why Lowe is an ass-hat. It would be one thing to not add players mid tourney like when 2nd round teams get eliminated, but the tournament hasn't started, plus Spezza has been there for Hockey Canada a lot in the past and deserves to be there, this year more than ever. Nothing short of a slap in the face to Jason and to Ottawa hockey fans. F U Lowe.]]></description>

This really makes little sense to me, they have in the past, made exceptions once better players were eliminated. Spezza is better than many on that team right now. I hope Sweden kicks their ass now! Canada is not even bringing a full roster. They've closed their roster at 23 but are allowed to bring 25. I know they try to focus on "2-way" players and Spezza's rep is still "1-way all the way" but even so. Nobody can convince me that he couldn't help the team in some way - even if he was as reckless as he was 6 years ago. Imagine him with some actual top-flight wingers or a top-flight PP unit? Oh well. Go Sweden!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Question about being surprised that LA is leading 2 - 0. First off, I put Quick as the advantage to LA in the series and I had predicted them to win, just didn't make any actual 2nd round predictions on SensChirp for any of the games, it's just something I do myself each year. Anyway, what I didn't see is such an arse whooping being handed out. But you have to look at the System St. Louis has started playing under Hitch, Defense first. And with the lose of Alex Pietrangelo midway through game 1, they have taken a serious blow. They have no schedule for a return and with him out of the lineup, they need to change the game plan or it'll be over. Hard to believe a team could rely so heavy on a young Defender... oh wait, Ottawa does the same thing!! What I didn't predict is Phoenix spanking Nashville to a 2 - 0 lead. I knew Smith was having a great end of year and beginnig of playoffs, but if he keeps up these performances you could see the Yotes representing the West in the final. I made a post in the last update about other possible UFA's Ottawa could look for besides the obvious and mentioned I'd be happy with guys like Wideman or Jackman, two solid D, vetern but still young, who can help stabilize the backend. As for forwards, Jones is one of the key guys I'd love to see Ottawa go after, he has a lot of potential and he's a big guy that would thrive under Paul MacLean. Not a fan of bringing Penner this way, still feel he'd pull his magic disappearing act throughout the season, which would frustrate EVERYONE.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My point which you are clearly ignoring is that if everyone is saying its a weak draft etc (including NHL teams) then Murray should capitalize on this. If Murray can trade down a few spots while picking up additional assets (which like you said can't be known until 4 years from now) why the hell not?? I'm not saying Murray should trade out of the draft because its weak. I'm saying trade down because anyone who can be picked at 15 can be picked at 20 or 25. Which is a valid statement, and if you want proof wait until June, when you see TSN top guys sliding, and no names being called. Want proof NHl teams are saying its a weak drfat? Paul Gaustad went for a 1st rounder. Teams were giving away 2nd rounders in trades this year. The value isn't there Which sure in 4 years from now may look foolish as you sya, but in terms of a trade market you deal with the now. And the now is syaing if Murray can gain an extra 2nd or 3rd round pick by dropping 5 or 10 spots, I think he should do it]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As for the draft... remember 7 teams passed on Courturier.. not just the Sens. Will Murray use his pick or trade it like he did with St. Louis for Rundblad to get a more ready defenseman? Does he combine the 1st round pick with a current forward asset to move up in the draft? What is really pissing me off now is that TSN will not be showing round robin games involving Sweden, Russia or the Czech Republic... We see Canada (of course), USA & Slovakia -- France and other lowly teams.. that's about it... I really hope there is a stream that we can get to see those games we miss. We will only see Sweden if they make it to the quarterfinals.. . that just sucks...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Radulov & Kostitsyn were out in the bars until 4:00 am the night before game 2... That's just immature and selfish.. maybe they should grow up a little. Melnyk said that he wants Karlsson to be reasonable on his contract demands and that he is HOPEFUL they can sign him. He also said he will not go toe-to-toe with the big market teams and spend to the cap... So there will be no Parise, no Suter, no Nash.. no 'big name' player in Ottawa at all from the UFA's. Melnyk wants to win.. but it's obvious he does not want to spend. If he can't then maybe he should consider selling part or all of the team.. provided it stays in Ottawa that is. He should also keep his mouth shut. What has happened to Penner? He is playing very good hockey right now... Where has that been all season. If he can continue to do that.. then maybe it might be worthwhile to take a shot at him.. but under the 4M he makes now. Do you not think that the Sens should have signed Karlsson in January.. they would have saved themselves a pile of cash. There will be no offer sheet as Murray will qualify Karlsson to avoid that happening. Melnyk's comments do concern me... but he has to learn to keep his mouth shut.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So why perpetuate some bullshit mistruth that gets claimed by half the so called experts every season? Yes of course if you look at history 50% who guessed right will have been right. The fact is anyone who claims to know the draft strength before 4-5 years after is full of shit. Otherwise they'd be working for an NHL team and picking late bloomers left and right. It's an utterly useless and baseless prediction that tons of pundits make every year because it has no consequences. Do not perpetuate it. It's just a baseless and ignorant statement That never has supporting evidence.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In all of my overwhelming sadness regarding our Sens loss, I totally forget to make round 2 picks in the pool, despite setting that sucker up. Haha. Oh well, until the draft hockey is all but dead to me. @darthsens thanks for the heads up wit Spezza and TSN Play of the year. Go vote everyone, it's dead simple!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Were not getting Parise as much as it sucks Also we are not starting Noesen Stone and Silferberg next year. 1/3 There is a reason Maclean went with Silferberg over stone in game 7. Stone will spend next year in bingo. Noesen is a year away at least]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I agree with that, but if you read the 400 posts during those days, it was a common thought. Maybe its not the best idea to insert a tired silfverberg etc. Not saying I think it was bad. i liked the magic that silfverberg brought in the 3rd period of game 7, i was hoping he got more shifts... its too bad, we needed practices to include line rushes to get everyone on the same page, and with that is my only beef with spezza when he decided to talk with media rather then practice with a new linemate. this year was a learning curve and our boys performed beyond expectations.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["after Jason Spezza was surprisingly turned down" Why would this be surprising? Besides a subpar playoff performance, its clear that Team Canada is putting its stock on its youth prospects. Still though, you had to feel bad for Spez in the end of year interview. The guy still had a terrific season but everyone was hounding him for his playoff performance. Wouldn't be surprised if eventually, he would get fed up with Ottawa and would request a trade..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So we all kind of judged Maclean for inserting rookie for the betterment of our future in game 5-6-7. Some said why sacrifice our chances now... Well we all liked that idea but I'm sure few predator fans will like hearing the latest that Kostitsen and Radulov are being suspended one game for violating team rules..ouch...e specially when your down 2-0..double ouch]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ True I am not a scout, but I tend to believe what scouting agencies tell me. And that is what they are saying obivously we wont know till 4 years from now, but historically they are seen as accurate in terms of depth of a draft. Look at the past 5 years and make judgement off of them. Every draft will have steals, no doubt, but in terms of playing the odds which is what a draft is, I'll play the more certain odds, which is believeing what the experts in te field are telling me (thats the scouting service bureaus fyi)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Seriously guys? Please do not start with the ignorant "but this is a weak draft year" comments. Nobody will know the strength of the draft until 4 years from now. We hear this shit every damn year with half the analysts saying its a weak year and the other half a strong year - fans are even worse. Alcatraz please tell me what research you did to come to that conclusion? You're just talking out of you ass cause Im gonna bet you arent a scout and rarely watch jr hockey.]]></description>
