			<description><![CDATA[ I agree Apostle, it's not written anywhere. I don't see a problem with having 3 quality goalies in our system, it's the 1st time in Ottawa history and it's a good thing. But for some reason too many people are worried that Lehner will have a hissy fit and leave town if he doesn't make the big club this year, so that immediately starts the trade talk for Bishop. Now I can understand the discussion, Lehner is ready for the backup role for sure, but right now, Bishop is signed to a 1 way so he won't be in Bingo. And Andy isn't going anywhere right now. This makes the trade conversation even more interesting as it means if Lehner is coming up, Bishop has to be dealt. And that could be Ottawa's move, it may have been the idea the whole time, who knows. But I just wish people would stop worrying about Lehner, he's a big kid, knows he's valued in our organization and he's been given the reins in Bingo. He didn't prove it last year and will NEED to do that this year, he's young and has time and will only get better, especially with a better team in front of his next season.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If Ottawa trades up I think the players they target would be Forsberg or Ceci. Another possibility is if one of Grigorenko or Galchenyuk (sp?) drop past 5 or 6 because of worries about injuries. The problem I see is that it would cost too much to get Forsberg who I think will go top 3 and Ceci going feasibly go anywhere between 5 and 12 so we could have a trade in play with, for example, Carolina at 8 and still miss out on him. If we are goinf to draft a good D prospect we can do that at 15, 2 of Pouliot, Finn and Koekkoek are likely still going to be there. Plus, for some reason, I have a sneaky feeling that we'll pick Collberg if he's available. Pretty sure we have done OK with drafting Swedes recently.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Wow, that's a crazy offer to consider, but would a team like Edmonton see that as enough? I think it comes down to what a team is really in need of. In my eyes Edmonton is so stocked in forwards. It would surprise me ALOT if they moved that pick for another forward and a Goalie, when defense is such a question mark. I'd expect them to look for a D being added to the package. And even if Lehner was the guy in the deal (I'd offer Bishop instead as well) they appear to be moving forward with Dubnyk who actually showed a little promise at the end of the year. They also have two young 20 year old goalies in the system in Roy and Bunz who they believe could eventually be starters in a few years, Bunz being the higher potential. Knowing Edmonton, one of them will be rushed into the leauge in the next year.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[the proposed edmonton/ottawa trade above is really bad for Ottawa why is everybody so keen on trading away one of our goalies? where is it written that you aren't allowed 3 good goalies in your system maybe, i can see Bishop getting traded at the deadline, but before that seems to just be a way to potentially derail the future]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Since all the armchair gm'ing is going on....I propose the folllowing. Yes, saw this on hockeybuzz from the oilers blogger....but I am almost inclined to do this. he proposed, our fist rd pick, zbad and Lehner for The first overall pick (yakupov). I would tweak this to say Bishop instead of Lehner and make this trade. Just a thought....]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What I would like to see is a trade between Ott/Edm... Edmonton needs a grittier potential star forward Ottawa needs a dangler beside Spezza I would love to see a Zibby for Eberle deal... If Alfredson retires we can see the following: Michalek - Spezza - Eberle (Grit - Setup guy - Goal scorer) Foligno - Turris - Silfverberg (Grit - Setup guy - Scorer) Z. Smith - O'Brien - Neil/Konopka Greening - Regin - Condra This would be an exciting group to watch...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yeah your right reg season doesnt count you just need too win those games to get into the playoffs but if they dont mean anything then why play them lol give your head a shake Yeah your right again he is the reason we went 7 games lol if he could stop a puck in game 6 or game 7 we still be playing right .. Think before speaking lol You are actually the biggest fucktard I have ever seen. And buddy don't you think it's time to change that stupid ass name of yours? It seems you were one of those cocksuckers who thought we would be challenging for last weren't you? That means you should be more than blessed that dandy andy stole a few games this year in order to even GET US into the post season. I think someone else needs to be thinking before speaking...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In my humble opinion, if Ottawa is to trade up in the draft, it will be to get Cody Ceci. This is a local kid, probably the most NHL read d-man, but that is arguable next to the likes of Ryan Murray and Griffin Reinhart. Im also thinking of the marketing potential to this. I hope this happens.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ He's not been disrespected at all. He won the AHL LAST SEASON, but you can't just not play hard the next and expect to be the guy. I don't know why you think he should just be handed the thrown. And your right, a lot of Elite goalies don't wait, but a lot of good ones do. Goalies aren't like typical players, they don't all just blossom over night - a lot of fine tuning. Bishop had to be signed to one way deal or he could walk - Lehner doesn't have that right given his age. What do Jimmy Howard, Ryan Miller, Tuuka Rask, Jonas Hiller, J. Quick, Corey Scheneider and the list goes on - they're all good goalies who served anywhere from 1-3 years in the minors. Sure, you could make a case for the Lundqvists and C.Price of the world, but not everyone is the same and I'd rather protect my future over rush them... If after next season he isn't getting a look and deserves one by proving he is solid - then we'll talk. For now, I have no problem with "Len-Sanity" (what a dumb nickname) waiting in the wings - He will get his chance. But right now, Anderson is the guy and he proved it this year with some of the best goaltending Ottawa has EVER had. Oh, and the Swedish League isn't 2nd best in the world. Haha ..See thats where we differ i think Lehner is the future but i believe the future is now And Andy is not the best goalie we ever had that Hasek guy was pretty good And yes SEL is the 2nd best league in the world]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ He's not been disrespected at all. He won the AHL LAST SEASON, but you can't just not play hard the next and expect to be the guy. I don't know why you think he should just be handed the thrown. And your right, a lot of Elite goalies don't wait, but a lot of good ones do. Goalies aren't like typical players, they don't all just blossom over night - a lot of fine tuning. Bishop had to be signed to one way deal or he could walk - Lehner doesn't have that right given his age. What do Jimmy Howard, Ryan Miller, Tuuka Rask, Jonas Hiller, J. Quick, Corey Scheneider and the list goes on - they're all good goalies who served anywhere from 1-3 years in the minors. Sure, you could make a case for the Lundqvists and C.Price of the world, but not everyone is the same and I'd rather protect my future over rush them... If after next season he isn't getting a look and deserves one by proving he is solid - then we'll talk. For now, I have no problem with "Len-Sanity" (what a dumb nickname) waiting in the wings - He will get his chance. But right now, Anderson is the guy and he proved it this year with some of the best goaltending Ottawa has EVER had. Oh, and the Swedish League isn't 2nd best in the world.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Not sure if I have seen any mention on here.. but where does Filatov fit? Do the Sens qualify him? Has he learnt a hard lesson in that he has to work to get anywhere. Kurt Kleinendorst had nice things to say about him before he left for the KHL. Does he stay in Russia.. or will he tough it out in the AHL.. A blogger on hockeybuzz (Ian Esplen)was giving info on some draft eligible players in this draft. He mentioned Pontus Aberg. Played in Djurgarden.. hmmm same as Mika... He's 5'11" 195 -- says his potenial is a top 6 player... could be like a Daniel Alfredsson... If that's true... sign me up.... Take it for what it is worth... I don't know a lot about this kid... does anyone else?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I like Collberg a lot as well. I think he'd be an excellent pick at 15 if he's still there. I'm sure Murray will just take the best player available. You can always swap prospects later on if you need to bring in a defender. Maybe he'd do something similar to Rundblad and trade this year's 15th for a defender who was picked 15th-20th last year and has shown good development. There are plenty of options and it'll be fun to watch it all play out. A pick for Paarjvi is an interesting option. He only produced 7 goals and 25 points in 34 AHL games. This after scoring 15 and 35 in the NHL in his first season. Call it the sophmore slump if you want but I feel like there was more to it than that. When he was picked scouts said he would have difficulty translating the way he scored goals to the NHL level. It seems that's true even at the AHL level. It's possible it's just a confidence issue but right now he probably projects to be a defensively solid 3rd liner with excellent speed. He's a lock to do at least that much probably. The 15th overall projects to be either a top 6 forward or top four defender - or nothing at all. So it's really just whether you want to take a chance that Paarjvi's upside is higher than a 3rd line winger. Those types of guys are a dime a dozen. Using our pick doesn't give us a lock but it at least gives us a shot at getting a star player who can have a higher impact. Probably better to go for broke with picks because you can always sign players to fill the 3rd and 4th line roles on hockey teams.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[For everyone that mentions Parise or Suter or worse both forget about it. However I wouldn't be surprised if Murray made a move at the draft and acquired Magnus Paarjvi from Edmonton. It would take our 15th and maybe a little something else but it would be worth it. Pure speed like Michalek could serve well on the other side of Spezza. I would be extatic about such a move. It would be a win-win for both organisations.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Sounds crazy but in most mock drafts....15th Hmmm wild and very interesting...D raft day can be so stressful, because if that were to actually pan out I have no problem holding onto that pick and doing nothing...altho ugh things rarely follow exactly. I personally think we should be looking into getting some D. Someone like Reinhart, Dumba (probably wont be avail. where we pick), or Ceci to play with Karl in a few year, or play on our second D pairing. I'm not nearly as concerned about our D as most on here, I still would love at least one more very high end offensive talent, and then concentrate on the D in later rounds/FA...but hey I am not Murray and have 1/9373922th the experience(and am likely being generous there)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ That is true as well.... but realistically what good D will still be available on July 1st... most of them are re-signed by their teams. But the Sens do need to draft another stud D for the future... Their forward prospects are set for now... moreso than their D... Filip Forsberg is a good one though... sooner him than the Russians...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[For the 5th overall pick I would do it. Much rather trade Bishop-Butler and a third rounder though. That would be a good move - you'd get Forsberg-Dumba- or Murray. Not too shabby. + you'd still have our 15th pick. Burke would get crucified though I think haha. Don't bring back KELLY - lets sign a top 6 or bust. Kelly isn't better than what we have. Prefer Smith over Kelly much tougher.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Lehner won't go anywhere. Bottom line is this, a lot of Elite goalies spend years in the minors, fine tuning. He shouldnt expect anything and if he darts for Sweden, it says a lot about his character. Sens don't owe him anything - he needs to earn it. The kid is good to good to be held back by Murrays .Im not sure which elite goalie your talking about ?!? No one looked down on Silfverberg wanting to play in Sweden to fine tune his skill so thats a bunch of bullshit ..Earn it the kid has won MVP and AHL champinship started for his Country .. Lehner has more accolades then Bishop but then Bishop gets 1way deal and handful of NHL games .. So with 3 years on Andys deal and Bishop backing up why not go to Sweden and start in 2nd best league in the world When he leaves dont blame him blame Murray for taking his sweet ass time and disrespecting the kid time and time again]]></description>

What people have to remember is we are in a rebuild and by the tim we are legit contenders for the cup, Anderson won,t be here but Forsberg, Lehrner, Zibenejad, Silverburg, Turris,Prince, McArthur, Spezza, Stone, Karlsson, Cowen will be. And that is a very strong core]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Murray has some tough decisions to make. Here's who's coming and going IMO. Going: Carkner Winchester Gilroy Kuba Daugavins I just don't see how you can keep any of these guys given who is coming up and the current status of certain players... Coming (back): Kenopka (depth) Kelly - yes, he will be signed here in Ottawa - book it. I said this before the Sun wrote there article Barrett Jackman Alfredsson Fringe Players: Foligno Condra Butler I don't think Murray will get a top 6 forward, he may explore one via trade but he won't get one unless Alfie retires. To be honest, I'd like to see Murray try and fetch one of Suter or Parise, but they likely won't be able too lure one and so I'd wait til next Free Agency (2013 Class) because its waaaay deeper and you'll likely have a better sense of the direction of this team then. Silfverberg - Spez - Michalek Alfie - Turris - Zibanejad Neil - Smith/Kelly - Greening Obrien - Smith/Kelly - Regin (will have to play his way up) -Kenopka Stone will play in the AHL next year, Zibby may too, but I gotta give him a top 6 spot at this point. On D, here is my thoughts for next season Karlsson - Cowen Phillips - Jackman Gonchar - Boroweicki Like I said, its gonna be tough for someone to predict what the team will look like, but Maclean will have his hands full deciding.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Murray has a lot of cap space this off season and I really think he needs to go hard after a top dman and winger. I'd like to see Parise and Suter but wouldn't hold my breath. If he did and signed some of our guys to decent contracts he could probably have about 4m in cap space for next season. The following year Alfie, Neil, and Gonchar contracts come off the books and giving Murray more cap space while still having a solid core. Parise - Spezza - Michalek Folingo - Turris - Alfredsson Regin - Smith - Neil Condra - Winchester - Greening O'Brien and Konopka I'd like to see Murray move Butler at the draft. The young guys like Stone, z, Silver etc could spend some time in the AHL to develop further and be called up when needed. Suter - Karlsson Cowen - Gonchar Carkner - Phillips Anderson Bishop]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not the best team.. but still some good players. They had a few that could not or would not go like Stamkos, Crosby, Jorden Staal.. But what I don't get is young Ryan Murray... were there not NHL experienced D available? This is an important tournament.. that seats the teams for the next Olympics, I believe. Maybe it will take another game or so before they get in sync... Sweden and the US both look good however..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Kelly was one of Murray's favourite players. He can fill in just about anywhere. Murray said it was one of the hardest things he ever had to do was trading Kelly. After Alfie leaves at the end of next season (I expect he will be back) that gives the Sens another vet for the young kids to look up to. Don Brennan is a nut job... They are not trading Anderson 1 yr into his contract. If they trade any of the goaltenders my guess is it will be Bishop. They may be able to keep Robin in Binghamton for part of next season.. but in no way past the end of 2012/13.. A decision will have to be made sometime next season on what they want in their goaltending.. you can't run with 3. Murray will have a tough decision on who of the bottom 6 will not be re-signed. I also expect him to do some trading at the draft.. Stone and Mika probably start the year in Binghamton.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Sign most of em and use some guys as trade bait! ie. Try to trade Gonchar (tell him "you're benched unless you waive your ntc") and Daugavins or O'Brien for another top 6 forward. There are already lots of depth guys who can fill out the ranks. Guys like Greening (while good players) shouldn't be our # 1 or maybe even # 2 line. However, if Carks and Konopka both leave, we'll lose a lot of toughness.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yes that could happen but unlikely, he'll play in ottawa if he's fit to play.it also gives murray leverage on the foligno contract dollar wise, it'll stop the foligno camp from asking for 3+ mil per. Its a good strategy for murray, regin has more potential than foligno therefore foligno cant over price himself or he'll be out the door. Thats why we saw regin get signed before any foligno contract talks.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If Alfie doesn't come back i could see getting Kelly. Kelly and Spezza are good friends, and Kelly would have a calming effect on Spezza. Kelly is also great on the PK and would help Turris alot. My Lines: Michalek Spezza Silfverburg Foligno Turris Zibenejad Greening Kelly Regin Smith Neil Condra Stone We should do what we can to get Shane O'Brien. He is big, mean, and effective. With so many young guys, you need guys like Neil, Carkner, and O'Brien O'Brien Karlsson Gonchar Cowen Kuba Phillips Carkner Anderson Lehrner/Bishop]]></description>

Andy is a hero here in ottawa and some are thinking trade him? So let me get this straight, if we were to trade andy to tampa then the leafs have a better chance landing loungo, and this helps us how? Man i know people have opinions but this is just plain stupid, we dont need a 5 year rebuild. Andy stays, fans that think he should be traded need to go.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I never thought that we'd trade anderson, but since Brennan brought it up. What would Tampa offer for him. His cap hit is much easier to take than Luongo's. Andy must have a home in the Florida area still (his facebook page said something about a goalie camp do there). This would likely hurt our success next year, but help us in the long run with more high end prospects. What do others think? I love Andy though and our chances of making the playoffs are reduced without him. Bishop scares me in shootouts.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Time for my two cents. The Regin deal makes sense. Cheap and limited term. We have a glut of forwards in the bottom six, some of which won't be signed, but I could see some trades at the draft for middle to late picks to improve the depth in Binghamtom after they lost a lot of players last year. Hopefully build a stronger team there for this year and Lehner will have a better statistical year. I really liked Chris Kelly as a player. The Ottawa Sun has a love on for that guy. I can't see them bringing him back though. Unless there are many trades at the draft that open up a spot somewhere. If they do bring him back, it might help Smith hone his skills. On defense, I think Kuba would be ok on a one or two year deal, but I wouldn't give him more than 2.5-3.0 million. He'll definately get more than that on the open market though, so decisions will need to be made by him and his agent. As it might be his last contract, now is as good as time as ever for him to 'cash-in' It should be interesting to see what our blueline looks like next year. I also like Carkner as a 7th dman.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[i was reading the magazine pucklife the other day and i saw an interesting stat. the highest increase in home attendance in the western conference was COLUMBUS! the worst of all teams! 7.8% increase in home attendance! I am assuming that is due to the carter and wiznewski deals. this got me pondering. If 2 big deals like this drew almost 8% increase in ticket sales then it makes me wonder how much thought the ownership of ottawa (or any team) puts on signing 1 or 2 superstars. suter and parise for example. Is the quick return worth the big contracts? and does it damage the future of a rebuilding team? just my thoughts at work today.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I really like the regin signing. I couldn't care less if the guy plays any games next season. but i think it makes the management look good to the players and future players. I get the impression that players have not been fond of previous ottawa management. some of murray's moves are very kind to the players. and i think that is because he may be going out of his way to show other players that he is gonna treat them well. players that want to leave(heatley) can leave, loyal players that show up every-single-ga me(phillips) get contracts, and players that deserve second chances(regin) get them. I don't know if this is exactly what murray is thinking but that's how i see it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ i wouldnt be too worried, as someone said in that comment section, lately the CHL has been getting more and more russians (yakupov grigorenko etc). its still a pretty interesting read. on a similar note, apparently cap's kuznetsov wont be coming to the NHL for atleast another 2 years. and it seems that the blue's tarasenko may not be coming either. these 2 both have talents to dominate the league almost like ovechkin/malkin /kovulchuk have done before]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ You and I are definitely on the same page. Today I brought up Hudler and the other day Bryan Allen. Allen is from Kingston, 31 yrs old, 6'4 and 230. He logs big minutes and could pair with Karlson to protect him and be the stay at home guy who can clear the front of the net.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Agreed. I think Murray's path on July 1st will be something like this: Can I sign Suter? If not, can I get Kuba back for 1 year cheap? If not, can I sign a decent D for a short/cheap deal - preferably one I can potentially move at the deadline if needs be? If not, let's see which rookies are going to make the team (and get Carkner's agent on the phone). Can I sign Parise? If not, can I sign another decent top-6 guy I can then trade away at the deadline once the young guys are ready to play more minutes? If not, which of Winchester, Klinkhammer etc are still around? Bottom line is he doesn't need to sign ANY UFAs right now - in 2013 or 2014 he'll be looking for the best he can get and (hopefully) a bigger budget to work with. But now, even if we lost every single UFA of our own (plus Alfie even) and didn't sign any others we'd still have a solid looking rebuilding team: Michalek - Spezza - Silfverberg Foligno - Turris - Zibanejad Greening - Regin - Neil O'Brien - Smith - Condra (Daugavins/Butl er) With guys like Noesen, Puemple, Petersson, Stone, Prince and Hoffman all pushing to get their shot at camp. It's unlikely I'd want that to be our team 3 years from now given that a few of those guys will probably never make it (statistically speaking) but why not give them a shot next year if that's what it comes down to? Find out who's a stud and replace the rest in the summer of '13 or '14.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Regin played really well with Foligno and Fisher a couple of years ago... Regin's still young... We don't really know what we'll get out of him... Rookie, Sophomore, Injury, Injury... I prefer putting faith in our own organization, rather than signing a mediocre equivalent player... We should only sign a free agent if it adds something we're missing...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You know what, the more I think about it, i'm really not against keeping Konopka. He is an absolute invaluable asset, and if the team does continue down the path they're on and indeed make the post-season again next season, we would all be grinning from ear to ear to know Konop will play for us. For a guy that is a healthy scratch for the majority of the season and is dirt cheap, why not? I won't be sad if he goes, but re-signing him wouldn't be a bad idea. I'm also a big fan of Nick Foligno. I honestly hope he finishes his career as a Sen. Just one of those guys that you'd like to keep around. Although he does have his weeknesses, for the price, he's probably the most rewarding player production to dollar wise. The game he brings is welcoming and it would be a shame to see him go. For me, if Regin re-signed after being injured the past two years, Foligno has to be a given.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Plus you have Zibanejad, Da Costa and possibly O'Brien, Winchester or Konopka to push for spots in the middle (or someone moves to the wing). i would give smith a try at wing as a power forward, the kid has lots of spunk and could be a great character guy. He's seemed to lay off on penalties but has shown lack of pace by the end of season mainly do to the long haul he's had along with the others who played in last years bingo run. we have lots of centers now and we are missing that game changing power forward who lays the heavys on the opponents top guys ala dustin brown. Yeah not sure who's spot he'd take on the wing but I could see him as a third line winger. He has shown flashes of having some offensive flair too (not enough to play top 6 IMO but still). And of course Regin's best few games were on Spezza's wing. True for just about everyone who's played on Spezza's wing though - another reason not to trade the guy ;)]]></description>
