			<description><![CDATA[ I'm a huge wings fan and this is exactly how I feel about Hudler. There are serious Red flags with but at the same time, he has put up 50-60 points with less than 15 minutes ice time. BUT as you mention, not sure if he'd live up to what he would demand. I see a Ville Leino type season as a serious possibility for him.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm not convinced that Alfie would only come back for a cup run. I of course have no real insight into it but my gut feel is that while signing some big UFAs might have some impact I just don't see Alfie as the type to say "nah, this team can't win a cup so I'm gonna quit". I think it has more to do with his own level of play, his health (now and long-term) and how much "fun" he's having. Even if this team doesn't make any additions it should be a fun team to play on. They're young, plenty of talent, they seem to really support each other etc. Heck if I was a billionaire I'd help Melnyk pay for Parise and Suter just because they're that good and will be for years to come, but I'm not sure that we need to make any kind of splash just to get Alfie back. And short of Parise, Suter and maybe one or two other guys I really don't think we SHOULD make any UFA signings just to try and get Alfie back. If this was going down two years from now then maybe we "make our run" a year or two ahead of schedule to have Alfie be part of it (not really to make Alfie happy but to have his skill/experienc e/leadership on the team) - but this next year is too early to go for broke. Again, before people misunderstand: adding real top-notch guys like Suter and Parise don't count as "go for broke" since they're in their prime. Signing those guys is almost like the best of signing an older established player and a young prospect in one.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If Melnyk really wants to get Alfie a cup, we have more than enough cap space to re- sign the guys we want; Karlson - $6 million Foligno - $2.5 million Jim O'Brien - $1 million And sign; Suter - $7 million Parise - $7 million And still have approximately $3.5 - $4 million left for a shut down Dman, Bruan Allen or Shane O'Brien and Carkner as a 7th Dman. The following year we will have $10 million in cap space when Gonchar and Alfie come of the books so we have the cash for our prospects moving forward. Git er done Mutray!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Really it sounds like melnyk has to make the decision, A splash in UFA would not hurt the rebuild just the pocket book. BM could unload for picks after the run. Gonchar and Alfie are off the books next year for sure anyways.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Exactly, the Team can go balls out for Alfie but will they. He has no reason to come back to play if it aint for a Cup run. I said balls out but really all we need to have a real shot is a top 4 Dman and a TOP 6 winger (preferrably top 3)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Not a big fan of Hudler, I wont be ignorant and say I don't have a pre-conceived bias for the way he let Detroit out to dry one year and bolted back to Europe. But I'm not completely convinced he can be that go to guy we need at the price he will command As for Allen, he is serviceable for sure, and I would have no problem if we do sign him but I like Oduya more in that role]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Realistically its kind of a frustrating circle going on right now(although I think its more in the fanbase than the actual team)...Alfie really has no reason to come back unless he thinks we have a very legitimate shot at winning the cup...team really doesn't have the need or shouldn't make that push this season unless it is 100% to try to win Alfie the cup.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[While I can see (and somewhat share) the sentiment, let's not make rash trades in a desperate attempt to get one more year from Alfie. If Alfie retires it will suck but it's going to happen at some point and it's actually a somewhat necessary step in the rebuild (more the "getting over it" part is anyway). It pains me to type this, but Alfie's retirement will be a positive if it happens at the right time (i.e. when he deems it is time). Not saying there are not so many negatives along with it - especially for fans, but in order to build a team that will make the playoffs the next 10 years we can't go trading away assets (or cap space) for a short-term fix out of nostalgia for our captain.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Lol could be heat stroke. No idea how we could pull it off, just saying a few top signings or trades we could really take a serious run. I was on the fence about staying as we are other than D until I thought more about Alfies motivation to come back for sure. It is not my money but we have the cap space to make a splash]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[To come back just to play another year of hockey may not excit him. He has said he needs to feel the drive or motivation to stay in shape over the summer, a legitimate shot at the cup would motivate him. If that is the case I hope we pick up Sutter and a couple of Top 6 forwards. Michalek Spezza Nash UFA Turris Alfie Greening Regin Silverburg Foligno Smith Neil Condra Butler extras Suter Karlsson Cowan Phillips Gonchar UFA/ Trade Anderson Lehnee/Bishop Borocop Dacosta Stone Petersson Zibby and others can all be call ups from Bingo]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am sure BM has asked Alfie for an answer before June so he knows where he stands. Either his wife wants him to retire or he is playing hard ball with BM to take a serious run at the cup. He loves to play hockey and enjoyed the season so there has to be more to it. If his contract was done I could see the retire thing a bit clearer.]]></description>

Hahaha thats exactly what im saying when a team loses a all world talent like Alfie its going to be hard to sign another all world player its not hard to understand .When uncle eugene says he wont over pay or sign any UFA over 5 YEARS u arent getting parise or suter ...keep dreaming it's not ignorant its reality i didnt say anything about getting suter or parise is realistic. ive been pretty quiet on here about hoping to sign those guys because i still believe both are staying right where they are. ive been saying i want to make a push for guys like hudler and bryan allen. i was just saying that it is pretty ignorant to think that a FAs choice to join us at this time would be based on if alfie is playing or not. that statement would make more sense with a winger deciding to join us or not depending if we have a legit top center. just like alfie was, we will be drafting our own high end talent.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If Murray was smart he could pull a Dan Hamhuis sort of deal like at last year Free Agency, Trade for someone's rights with draft picks and if he does not want to sign with Ottawa then Trade him to another team and get what you traded for him back. This way you can get a heads up on the UFA and also know where that player stands with wanting to play for the Ottawa Senators. The 2nd route could be trade someone like Weirchoich and a pick to get a younger top 6 defenseman that has shutdown capabilities. We could also look to resign Matt Gilroy as he did not have a bad stint with Ottawa he was just expected to play solid. 1. Resign Kuba 2 years @ 3 mil per season 2. Let Carkner go to UFA 3. Resgin Gilroy to a 1 year @ 2 mil contract to keep him for one more year to see what he has 4. Sign a role player to fill in the top 6 that can do the job that is not Parise or Semin. I think both would be amazing but you just know that they are going to be hard to get. I say get a guy like Ryan Smyth if it is possible. He loves to play in front of the net and de-flect pucks in, sounds like the perfect guy for Karlsson on the Power Play or Trade Gonchar somewhere are get some young forwards back for him and/or picks example Gonchar to Edmonton for Mangus Paajarvi and Ladislav Smid. Something on the lines of that as it would give Edmonton an all star defencmen that they need and the shutdown guys Murray is looking for and a potential top 6 forward. Just throwing out some ideas who knows what will happen all I know is it is going to be a surprise wont be expected.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[For UFA's -- Parise and Suter.. if they get to UFA -- will be the best. Chirp, why does Murray believe he has a pretty good shot at landing Parise? There are so many other teams... big buck teams.. that will back up the truck and pay him whatever he wants... I see Detroit landing Suter.. Ottawa stands a good chance at Parenteau... if that is the way they go. The only other person outside of Detroit who knows Hudler is Paul McLean. If he thinks he fits.. then the Sens go after him... and they could stand a chance of getting him with the McLean connection. As for Team Canada.. they gave it all they could.. it was not enough. Kevin Lowe said after the game that the Slovaks had no business being 'in the game'. Is he kidding? I did not see the whole game.. but it's obvious the Slovaks played well enough to stay close.. and win it on a mistake and a stupid, selfish penalty. It's too bad Stamkos, Toews & Patrice Bergeron were all injured. With them on the team I think Canada gets to the final. Crosby refused to go. Where was Rick Nash? Where was Eric Staal? Why were not spots left open for better players that lose in the first couple of rounds of the playoffs -- like Shea Weber, Milan Lucic, Jordan Staal. How can Lowe justify putting an 18 yr old on that team when there had to be other more experienced and qualified defenseman to fill in with the injuries on D? I read on TSN that Lowe is on the management team for the Olympics. This is, I believe, the 3rd straight time that Canada has not made it past the quarter finals. Why would Yzerman keep him in that position? Feel bad for Alfie and the Swedes.. but that was a sweet goal by Michalek. Too bad it came so late in the game to not give the Swedes much of a chance to get it back. Certainly don't want Russia to win it all... but it appears to be leaning that way.. Damn...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Fuller translation of the article: Earlier in the tournament Alfredsson said he had not decided whether there will be a continuation in Ottawa or if he puts his skates on the shelf. Maybe this ws my last match at a tournament level said Alfredsson, who will think for a few weeks before making a decision on the future. That's only a google translate and it doesn;t tell us an ything we don't already know. I don't see Alfreddson announcing his retirement anywhere other than Ottawa. Call it wishful thinking if you want but I think his comments has more to do with playing for Sweden than Ottawa.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Good on Michalek He sure has burried a lot of goals this year. You can argue Konopka for next year but I expect BM gave him a one way for a reason. Doubt he will be back, more because at present we are kind of full as a team. Now that Sweden is done BM can start working on the Karlsson contract. One year not one way, can't read where to fix on my iPhone The screen is all white on the edit, do others get that]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[and as a UFA we shouldn't really be overly concerned where he goes.

			<description><![CDATA[ The only way I would be okay with him being a regular is if we have someone (or multiple guys) playing in Bingo that we expect to be part of the future. i.e. if Stone, Petersson and Zibanejad all end up in Bingo for more seasoning then having Konopka keep a roster spot warm isn't a big deal. He can easily become a scratch if we want to call one of those guys up but if their development is better served by playing in Bingo then it's not like Kono is holding us back. Now, if we sign some massive UFAs and are "making a run" of sorts then that's a bit different. But then you have to factor in that Kono's pretty valuable in the playoffs. The last thing to consider is that if we do sign him for another year he might fetch some return for us at the deadline. Lots to consider, but as many have stated he's not exactly going to make or break our team.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I certainly don't see him as our 3rd line centre either. But I do see a role for him as a 13th forward who would add basically everything you'd want out of a 3/4th liner when he was in the lineup. And he would cost the league minimum. True, I wasn't referring to him as our 3rd line centre, just saying if we had a real one then even Konopka on 4th line becomes somewhat useless. If Konopka is willing to sign league min, and is ok watching majority of games from pressbox then I'm all for it I was just sick of watching him take stupid penalties last year, not keep up with our tempo of play, and really do nothing to help us win all year aside from fight here or there That's my attitude. He does right things for us in terms of face-offs, fight and kill penalties, but again, I'm sure we can find someone for league min who does PK and Face off, yet can also play a meaningful shift But if he is willing to be 13th forward, make league min, play sparingly then all the power to him, we will take him back. But I stress he should not be a regular in our line-up]]></description>

If there's a spot for Konopka on our team going forward it's mostly as a role player and spot filler. He's still young-ish but he's not really part of the rebuild so much as a good option to keep around until we have a better option (or he plays himself into the future bottom 6). He'll be kept if we have room for or need a 13th forward for cheap.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I'll have to check the magazine when I get home and see if it mentions his age. WHL teams can only carry 3 overage players. If he is turning 20 this year, I doubt his junior team would keep a roster spot open for him. Most overage players in the WHL are goalies and defenceman. Most likely, he is on his way to Bingo to replace Francis Lessard. Found it, Darren Kramer, 20 years old. I think we can definitely expect him to be in Binghampton protecting our young guns this fall.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I never said he didn't bring just "goonery" to the table The reason he was out there was because like you said he won 70% of draws. My biggest thing is that we can find more serviceable guys out there who win 70% of draws that can be more useful over a 82 game season Yes in the playoffs he was good, but to be completely honest, if Konopka is our minute left, defend a lead guy then we have problems I like Konopka but I really don't his place on this team, especially if we can get a real 3rd line centre who can win 60% of draws]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well we laughed at it, possibly drafting Murray by moving up to top 5 but he has recently fallen past the top 10, so you never know man, he might slide to 15 or we move up a couple and grab him at 12? Should we be excited to get someone who slides that much? Or hope for Ceci to fall a couple of spots instead of Murray falling several? Tough call. Yeah it is but I have no clue why he is falling to begin with. Its intriguing. Did his bad game vs Russia stand out that much for him to drop significantly?? I think it is a given we would have to move up to get him. We have a chance to step up on Defence this off season being the deck has been somewhat cleared for some new blood, we need to be mindfull that Gonchar is gone next season. On the fighting front, don't we have a guy in the prospect system we picked up late in the draft last year. We drafted a tough guy from Spokane or Portland in the WHL. There is an article in The Hockey News on him because he invented a peanut butter jar that opens in the middle when it's half empty, and the cap screws on the bottom half. Smart kid, and a tough customer.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The reason I would like Konopka to re-sign short term is that he may have found another gear to his game in the playoffs he didn't realize he had and I'd like to see if that translates into the regular season. pigeonhole him as a goon if you want but he won 70% of his faceoffs, played incredible on the PK and was extremely responsible at both ends of the ice. Not to mention the tremendous leadership he showed. Spezza's empty netter was only due to ZK's play to takeaway the puck and get it to spezza. Paul MacLean wouldn't have played him in the dying minutes with a lead and have him take key D-zone faceoffs if all he brought was "goonery." At the $700,000 per year it will cost, why the heck not?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well we laughed at it, possibly drafting Murray by moving up to top 5 but he has recently fallen past the top 10, so you never know man, he might slide to 15 or we move up a couple and grab him at 12? Should we be excited to get someone who slides that much? Or hope for Ceci to fall a couple of spots instead of Murray falling several? Tough call. Yeah it is but I have no clue why he is falling to begin with. Its intriguing. Did his bad game vs Russia stand out that much for him to drop significantly??]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Watch game 2 again. Your right. Our goon job really deterred Prust and others form going after karlsson after the whistle again Yes Carkner beat the shit out of Boyle. But think in terms of regular season not playoffs Only reason game 2 worked out was because we played NYR again. In regular season that doesn't happen, therefore not effective To get to playoffs you need to roll 4 lines and 3 pairs of defense Maclean showed us in his regular season team he doesn't like to roll Carkner/Konopka He benched them scratched them. If Gilroy would have been 25% better Carkner does not see any playing time in round 1. If winchester does not get injuired and/or BUtler suck so much Konopka does not see playoffs, and they are all rid out of town Now we have sens fans wanting to bring both back because of: 1-Game 2 goon job 2-Konopka getting 15min a game to win face offs because we are a puck posession team. Get me a more versatile face off specialist that can actually carry the puck while winning face offs]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Oh lord... here goes the elaborate fantasy trade scenarios... : ) As a UFA pick up, Suter and Parise would be worth the commitments but their respective teams will keep them or another team will outbid us. So let's not get carried away here. Parenteau remains the best option but the sense is he wants to continue to grow with the young guns in NYI. He'll probably remain there as well. The other option no one is talking about, which I think is more likely to happen given this year's crop of UFA's, is active roster trades and draft picks for rights of RFA's. I predict a very active draft this year. Have a look at the RFA crop and consider teams that need major overhaul. Mason Raymond is rumoured to be moved. TJ Oshie and David Perron are up for renegotiation again this year, is Peter Muller worth a look? He'd be cheap for sure. Jonathan Blum on D, etc... Other options to consider folks...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As far as free agency is concerned, I feel as though we should only pursue a top 6 guy if we know Alfredsson won't be back. The young guys (Silfverberg, Zibanejad, Stone) who could slot into our top 6 need to earn a spot on one of the top lines instead of being in as a replacement for Alfie. I'd prefer to see us not go after one of the big boys. A short deal for a guy like Hudler sounds swell.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Just cuz Konopka "fights" doesnt mean its good for the team ,hell, 90% of his fights he loses. I never liked the "superpest" role, I think its brings nothing to the sport, only diminishes the sport as players like him and others have a chance of makig the NHL under those terms. As I've said in the past there shouldnt be 4 lines in hockey, get the goons and average players out of the game and we wont be getting as many injuries and stupidity.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My personal preference with the UFA signings would be to go big or go home. It's Parise and Suter or don't sign anybody. These are the only 2 that are sure to improve the team. Both Parise and Suter are proven players that can make an impact. The only exception I would make is to sign Justin Schultz. He is a quality prospect with great upside. If he wants a good shot for NHL playing time then I suggest he strongly look at Ottawa and Edmonton. I might be a little bias but I think our player development team might be better than Edmonton's. Plan B would be to look at the trade route. Nash is an option, but only as long as we're not hurting the team while trying to improve it. Chris Stewart is a possibility as well. As for defenseman I'm not sure if this is a true rumour but I have heard that Zach Bogosian might be available, since it's been mentioned that he might not be too happy in Winnipeg. Plan C would just be to let the kids fight it out and decide who plays.]]></description>

Hey since everyone are coming up with their trade requests/ UFA signings, I thought I'd come up with my own which would be possible if tried upon by Bryan Murray and company. To Calgary: OTT 1st round (15th) To Ottawa: CGY 1st round (14th) Murray: "Oh no reason, just would like to move up a spot." To Dallas: CGY 1st round (14th) To Ottawa: DAL 1st round (13th) Murray: ""Oh no reason, just would like to move up a spot." 7 trades later.... "With the 6th overall pick, Ottawa is proud to select from the Red Deer Rebels of the Western Hockey League, Matt Dumba." Pierre McGuire: "Wow, way to go Ottawa! This is a great pick! You're now gonna get 2nd line defense insulation to Erik Karlsson. This is a dynamic kid, Bob. The fans in Ottawa will be very excited to see him. I say he makes it at 19 just like Karlsson did. I couldn't be any happier for the Senators right now Gord & Bob.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ ok so I keep hearing a big NO to Hudler. I must be missing something as a good majority of the posters all say no to him... is there a major reason that I am missing? It seems to be that he has always been second fiddle in Detroit, and never given top 6 minutes, but seems to produce regardless... thoughts? I've read nothing but positive info on Hudler when I googled Detroit articles. The fans call him mini Holmstrom because he is willing to go to the dirty areas to score. 25 goals with the 7th highest forward ice time sounds good to me. Ya Hudler's actually a good player but I really don't want to see the Sens add any forward in FA. The forward crop is already overcrowded. The point of a rebuild is to have the young guys fill in and prove themselves, like they did this past season. With Silfverberg, Zibanejad, Regin, and Foligno vying for top 6 spots, it doesn't make sense. Add in Alfie if he stays, too.]]></description>

It seems to be that he has always been second fiddle in Detroit, and never given top 6 minutes, but seems to produce regardless... thoughts?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ 1) We are not trading Spezza. 2) Green is damaged goods and one dimensional 3) Michalek has a reasonable contract for his production. I never understand why people want him gone, he was not brought here to replace Heatley's 50 goal production. 4) We are not trading Spezza. 5) See #1 and #4. This. People should have to acknowledge that they've read this 5 times before posting here.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I don't see this trade happening but I like that this comment will start a discussion on what trade possibilities we can make. But everyone should note that trading Spezza is not an option. This guy will be wearing the C in no time for the Sens. I can't wait for him to properly be acknowledged. The roster guys I am willing to trade from the offense to get a better D situation is Michalek, Greening and some of our prospects. I like MM9 but I think he will not be part of the long term rebuild and think his value is highest at the moment. I didn't include Foligno because I don't think we will be able to replace his level of production on a cheap contract and he also has so much potential but still needs to put it all together. I think he will continue to improve and will develop into a 2nd line player. Greening will also have a tough time fighting off some of the youngsters after next year. He is ideally suited for the 3rd line and those type of players can also easily be signed or traded for. What we really need is quality D players and prospects. I'd like to see MM9 traded for a 1st and a prospect. Maybe Pheonix will consider their 1st along with Brandon Gormley.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ like your list but must question why Parenteau and Wideman so low on your list? Parenteau is too small and 1 dimensional for me. I'm not a big fan of either of them as more than a placeholder. Wideman is just someone I've always found to be overrated, much like Kuba. I'd take him if we don't re-sign Kuba (I hope we don't re-sign him), but he just doesn't interest me in the same way as most fans and media. thanks Sensation, I appreciate the list and your feedback,]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Maybe I'm on my own here, but fighting is way overrated in terms of spot on the team. We need it in the game, but dedicating roster spots for fighters is long gone. And what Konopka brings to the table aside form fighting is much less valuable than what a replacement can bring along with the increase in scoring. Fighting remains for the Prust/Neil type guys, not Kenopkas Did having neil carkner konopka smith all willing to fight really deter anyone from hitting karlsson? no Hey if i'm on the ice and Konopka is not out for his 5 min/game then I'll hit anyone, chances are I wont see Konopka much anyways I see Konopka as valuable sure, but what he brings should be what our 3rd line centre can do. (aside form fighting) Id rather have smith play 4th line Centre duties, and what ever money we spend on Konopka, spend it on a true 3rd line centre Listen, I get that he is great in the room, cheap, serviceable etc, But I don't see why we need to bring him back. Id rather spend that 700-1mill elsewhere David Jones is another ideal 3rd line centre for us. We lacked scoring from our bottom two lines in the second half of the year]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Kenopka for 82 games of the year really wasn't a physical presence for us. Sure he fought, and did the stage fighting thing we need, but beyond that he is not a punishing hitter, he is ok on the forecheck but I really can't think of a time he took over a game physically the way Neil does Kenopka value is being overstated because of his round 1 performance once Winnie got injured. Maclean almost refused to play him in regular season when we were trying to roll 4 lines In playoffs it was more line matching/zone starts than rolling 4 lines which is why Konopka became valuable, and he was only valuable because he can play Defense and win face offs it really had limited to do with his "physical" presence Disagree, Stoll DOESN'T fight, which is the physical presence I'm referring to. Checking people only intimidates so much, we need players that can stand up for our young and small teammates. This team needs someone to take that burden off of just Neil, or else the whole team gets pushed around. Having Neil as a mainstay and then subbing in Carkner and Konopka as needed was a great strategy to take care of that side of the game. Also, Konopka's value TO ME has nothing to do with his playoff performance, though that was a nice bonus. He's what he is, a great faceoff man, willing to fight just about anyone and he's a GREAT leader in the locker room.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks, I just can't help but wonder if subliminally he was thinking if the team tanked he'd get a chance at another lottery pick... haha! That is funny, he may try to pick 2nd overall as well after this ebarrassing exit :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Question about Lowe, how many top 5 picks does one need to make it back to the playoffs? they must have at least 5 top 5 picks, and they still are rebuilding after 5 years... why in hell would they ask this sshmoo to be the GM for Canada? Hate to say this but the worst showing at the worlds in many years looks perfect on Lowe. Not kidding, I can pick a team of the picks he left off the team, that would kick the ass out of the team he picked! He is a fool for trying to put his own criteria ahead of the nation, and for a proud Country that has hockey as their religion he should be called out for the stupidity, in trying to look after his own interests above what he was asked to do by his Country. Shame on you Lowe! After you wipe the egg off your face, do you still think you will pick Ryan with your first pick?]]></description>
