			<description><![CDATA[ Conor - I think it's fair to say we both need to learn manners. I'm of the opinion that insulting somebody based on their race or sexuality (either perceived or real) is not very nice and generally identifies the person doing the insulting as an ignorant twat. Most of the time people just let it go and ignore it which I don't think is very helpful. I would hope that the owner or moderator of this site would clamp down on such behaviour but that does not generally seem to be the case on this board except ion rare and extreme cases. I don't think ignoring it is the way to go and believe people should be called out on their petty and ignorant prejudices. Could I have done it in a more intelligent manner? absolutelly. Sadly i chose not to and agree with you that maybe I do need to learn some manners. So I resolve that next time I feel the need to correct somebody for their hateful, small-minded, insecure and petty prejudices I will do so in a more considered and mindful manner.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I've been thinking the same thing. The contracts being signed this year or ridiculous. Not to say some players aren't worth high value, but to sign some of the guys the way they did, it makes no sense and it just inflates the lower end players value. Guys who would normally get the 1 to 1.5 M will now demand 3 based on other contracts. I know where it's coming from, the new CBA will more than likely put a squash to it all. So players agents who are able to get that money now, are doing it. Also, a lot of these lower salary teams are just trying to bump themselves up a little closer to the expected cap floor so they don't need to sign even more players. I really hope they actually try and fix this in the negotiations, because it's getting a little crazy.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Spent one day away from the computer and all the big NHL action happens, lol. Can't say I'm surprised with both Parise and Suter going to the Wild. I had listened to an interview online the day before with Parise and someone asked him if he'd ever consider playing on the same team as Suter and he said he was all for it. It was like foreshadowing what was going to happen, very strange. The more Interesting news though was the Lightning landing Carle. Aside from all the Suter talk, Carle to me, was the best bang for your buck D on the market. And the Lightning just got 10X better with that trasaction. With those names out of the way, what will happen with Nash now?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Huh that's very very interesting "HKYcountry". Considering the ridiculous cap space Nashville has it would make sense that they can match any offer sheet. But Poile would be a damn fool to not accept the offer sheet and miss out on acquiring four first round picks when it's all but guaranteed that he'll leave in the 2013 summer. Unless he has a trade of some kind in the works. No team will want to give a king's randsome at the trade deadline and disrupt team chemistry (unless its a non-playoff team)so it makes the most sense to trade him over the summer. Regardless of where he is prior to July 1st I think he wants to hit the ufa market and cash in. That's why when it gets to that point Murray MUST pony up the cash and forget this "fair hockey deal" noise. I'd go as high at an average of 8.5 mill cap hit over 13 years (or whatever the max is in the new cba).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@"Sens4Eva" Elliot Friedman brought up an interesting point about this. Chances are NSH will match any offer sheet for Weber. So his suggestion was play hardball with NSH and submit a ONE YEAR offer sheet to Weber. One of two things will happen: A) you lose 4 first rnd picks but get Weber OR B) NSH matches and keep Weber, but because it's an offer sheet, they are not allowed to trade him and he could walk away on July 1, 2013 as a UFA]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ For the love of all sanity....the SENS CAN NOT BUYOUT Alfie and then immediately re-sign him!!!!!!! IF they were to buy him out he would become a UFA and not eligible to be signed again by the Sens until July 1, 2013!!!! His current cap hit and salary are what they are going to be for the 12/13 season regardless of any possible extension he may sign. The ONLY REASON we had a so called "buyout" on Alfie's previous contract was because of a loop hole in the current CBA that no longer applies. The contract Alfie signed prior to the current CBA had additional "Player Option" years. Which under the current CBA are no longer available to be offered. So in order for the Sens to sign Alfie to his extension in 2008 they had to BUYOUT the PLAYER OPTION years of the "then" existing contract....whi ch is why there was a "buyout" cap hit for Alfie the last few seasons. They did not BUYOUT Alfie at that time...they bought out the "player option" portion of the contract. Those types of contracts no longer exist and under the CBA contracts can not be "RE-NEGOTIATED" or "RE-WORKED"...t he contracts are what they are. It is done like this to avoid cap circumvention. There is NO WAY or POSSIBILITY or LOOP HOLE that would allow the Sens to buyout Alfie's contract and then sign him to a new contract this summer. At best they can sign him to an extension...but that will only affect his cap hit in the 13/14 season not the upcoming 12/13 season.]]></description>

This'll be fun Ive been a staunch supporter of all things senschirp for years now except name calling between posters. Its cowardly. Normally I would just say 'stop the name calling' and end it there. But since you decided to attack me personally and offered absolutely nothing in the.form of an actual rebuttal, i have no choice but to waste my time making.you look like an idiot indefinitely... until you learn some manners]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Where are these rumblings that Shea Weber wants a long-term deal done now coming from? Is there any validity to them? I really don't think he's going to want to sign with Nashville considering last year (when they still had Suter,he only agreed to a one-year arbitration agreement. So instead of a "blockbuster trade" we'd need to provide draft pick compensation. He'd get a mega deal agreement so we would have to give up four first rounders. Weber is literally THE ONLY PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE I would give up that much for. Considering our crop of prospects would remain the same wouldn't this compensation be worth it? Shea Weber is the best all around defenseman in the league, he's only 26 and is captain material. For those who say "his salary would cripple us", well... not so much. For arguments sake let's even exaggerate Weber's salary to 10 million per year, at the end of next season we'd still have 30 MILLION IN CAP SPACE. The only young player that's due for a raise is Turris, unless were gonna pay him 30 mill per year I think we'd be alright. To all those ("conservativeh ippie"and the like) who are so high on our prospects and think each and every one of them is going to be a first liner, giving up those four first rounders wouldn't be so bad would it? The only problem is Murray's fickle ways, he's gotta step it the fuck up and offer a very competitive (if not slightly overpaid long-term contract). I'm going to lose my shit if the regulars (Toronto, Philly, or New York) somehow end up with this stud.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Your right zipzap I would love to know what you would have done differently to convince people to want to come to Ottawa Parise turned down an opportunity to play with Crosby and malkin for christ sake, you think Murray could have done anythign to get him to come here? Your such a fucking fool I would not have wasted the past 6 years trying every average player under the sun on the top line with spezza Who is it gonna be this year Murray- spezza- Neil ? Maybe Spezza can resurrect a career!?!?! Or kick start a rookies career?!?!? Didnt work the first 100 times, but just maybe this time I would get a job first instead of living out of my parent's basement. Then maybe pay with that and try to get in to school and aim for a law degree or business degree to know a thing or two about being a hockey GM. But hey, I did #11 and #2 and I'm still not spewing the tripe you are. Just saying. Really dude? Fictional insults? I'm doing better than your whole damn family is. But thanks for the silly dime a dozen (fictional) internet insult. It's always nice to know your type is still out there tryin' to feel special via delusion. Good luck with the "law degree or business degree" It sounds like a boring pretentious slave to the system life. I'd rather do what I do, my way on my own time thanks. Don't hate me because I am right NEXT! Diablo 3 gold coins don't count. Get out of the basement and smell the fresh air. That monitor tan you got on you is making you confused with reality. And repetitive. Zzzz...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I'm sorry but Parise is worth 7.5 I'd have him on my team any day for that amount. One of the most natural captains in the league and is one of the hardest working guys out there. Obviously his skill speaks for itself. I think what sets him apart is his will to be the best player on the ice every single night. Now Suter on the other hand I agree is not worth that much. He's paid as a #1 Dman when he actually is a #2. Don't get me wrong, he'll def help them but he's still overpaid I don't disagree that Parise is all that you said he is, however, there are other players making less that I'd gladly have in his place dollar for dollar. I'd put him at 6.5M max and 5M max for Suter.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Here's a crazy thought... Shea Webber asks to traded and Minny makes a serious pitch because they do need more help on D. Plus Minny obviously has the assets to give up. Obviously they'd have to send some cash back the other way but they also have the grade "A" prospects to package in as well and for them their 1st's are almost useless for the next couple years so why not throw them in as well. Like someone just mentioned...Web ber wants his long term contract done NOW. When this new CBA comes out I bet the max is somewhere around 10 years and no front loaded b.s. contracts. Mark my words Webber gets traded this offseason. Because if he doesn't he'll just sign a 1 year contract and become a UFA exactly like Parise did. But the thing is Nashvile just cannot afford to loose Webber for nothing like Suter. That franchise is straight fucked. And again, just like the Nash situation... there aren't many teams who have the assets to give up for huge names like Webber. Were def one of them but like I said Minnesota is also in the game.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Lol Parise is such a pussy whipped baby. His fiancee holds all the cards even though he nakes all the cash. Waht a woman. Im glad we dont have that sally playing for our team. It was bad enough when Fish got married and went soft. Having to see it happen again to a much higher paid player would be devasting. My prediction: huge drop in pts around wedding time. Huge drop in pts whenever his wife gets preggers. In summation: parise is a queer]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Oh, I also think Ottawa should sign Peter Mueller. Sure he's had health issues and it's a gamble. So what. We can probably get him pretty cheap and he showed he could be a point a game player and big time goal scorer when he first got to Colorado. I think he'd be magic on Spezza's wing if he can get healthy. If not he's a cheap contract that sits in the press box. These are exactly the kind of projects a budget team should be looking to get in on. The more of them the better because they're like free money when it works out. Mueller has way too much talent to not be worth the effort.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[No amount of kicking and screaming as fans will make a player choose your team. Parise and Suter have obviously been working on this plan for a long time. Not to mention the money and term committed was pretty obscene. We're talking about cross your fingers and pray that neither of them has any health issues after turning 30. Contracts like these are a huge gamble. If I was the Ottawa Senators looking at UFA's Semin would have been my target from the moment Parise's demands became too great. He's got proven first line scoring ability and a lot more fight than people give him credit for. He's never been a ghost in the playoffs and he works harder than he's given credit for. Free agency is always a risk but for anything under 6.5M on a short-term deal he's a great asset. On Spezza's wing no way he scores less than 35, probably more. N That's not even mentioning the value he could be flipped for if Spezza pumps up his goals and the team decides they don't like his defensive game or one of the younger prospects breaks out. One thing however is very true. Spending a ton of money on free agents you thought would solve all our problems is very often the fast way to a shitty team (see the Toronto Maple Leafs). You almost always overpay and it's always a huge gamble in terms of how they will actually fit in with your team. The thing about drafting is you actually get to see if the player can be a valuable member of your franchise before you have to give him big money. There is a lot of hidden value in that. In prevents bad investments big time.]]></description>

Maybe Spezza can resurrect a career!?!?! Or kick start a rookies career?!?!? Didnt work the first 100 times, but just maybe this time I would get a job first instead of living out of my parent's basement. Then maybe pay with that and try to get in to school and aim for a law degree or business degree to know a thing or two about being a hockey GM. But hey, I did #11 and #2 and I'm still not spewing the tripe you are. Just saying. Really dude? Fictional insults? I'm doing better than your whole damn family is. But thanks for the silly dime a dozen (fictional) internet insult. It's always nice to know your type is still out there tryin' to feel special via delusion.

			<description><![CDATA[ What's the worse that can happen? Because of the inexperience due to having an almost all rookie team, we finish last and draft MacKinnon? No that's right. You'd rather continue watching the exact crap team we have now with Grening, Condra, Latendresse and Butler while crossing your fingers and toes that Alfie, in what will probably be his last year, hoist the cup while thinking that our current team has a hope in hell? Not sure where you get "the exact crap team" from when A) it's not a "crap" team and B) I said nothing of the sort anyway. My point, if you give a shit, is that we need to find someone who is a legit top-line winger to play with Spezza. MM9 is okay as "the other guy" if needs be. Now, maybe the only way we'll ever get that guy is to develop him out of our own prospects - which sucks since that will take time. But I'd really, really like to see someone brought in to properly compliment Spezza on our top line rather than stick him with the likes of Greening, Latendresse or whatever other rookies/sophomo res we can offer. Exactly. How is this difficult to comprehend? The fans deserve and spezza deserves a proper first line for a change.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ It's okay to admit you just goofed and were thinking if Alfie were paid more than the $1M he's slated to make next year it would affect the cap. It's not like that's an inexcusable mistake or anything. Hax, no offense, but that was not the case. Murray has said our lineup is full, so he also sees a way to get to the cap floor with the current roster. Nice to see you're ready to jump on anything you think you can though, nothing like a forum full of people trying to tell you what you are saying. Okay - so explain to me again how "Alfie will get us to the floor" when you were talking about the team being able to "buy him out and re-work the contract"? Alfie's cap hit right now is $4.875M. If they buy him out and sign him to another deal how is his cap hit going to be more? Unless you're saying they'll buy him out and re-sign him to a $4M deal so that the buy out plus his new cap hit total more? Not sure how that has much of an impact on our cap number.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[tim murray on the team about an hour ago: #Sens Assistant General Manager Tim Murray on D prospect and #BSens 2011-12 Rookie of the Year Mark Borowiecki: "He'll be the most popular guy when he's an NHL player for us, but even on some practice days, he's not going to be very popular with his own teammates because that's how he practices. When you go into a one-on-one drill with him, he is going to put you on your ass, whether you like it or not. It doesn't matter if you're the star of the team or not. I think he's going to bring that aspect of just never stopping, never taking his foot off the pedal. We know what he is from a skills standpoint, but his intangibles and his heart and his courage are off the charts." http://www.twitlonger.com/show/i5s52h full interview: http://proxy.autopod.ca/podcasts/chum/184/7604/12.07.04%20Tim%20Murray%20with%20The%20Scratches.mp3]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think Murray entered trade talks with CBJ knowing we weren't on the list. I don't think it was as if he was spending hours a day on the thing. I can understand his point of view, if there is to be an expanded list why shouldn't we be in pole position with an already agreed in principle deal. But to assume that Howson isn't going to call the GMs of the other teams on the list and tell them they could start thinking about a deal doesn't seem realistic. We have/had our deal in place for Nash and let's see if Nash considers an expanded list. I still think he ends up exactly where he wanted to end up at the start of this process and I don't think that's Ottawa. I'd still kind of prefer Ryan anyway.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm going to lay something out there and it's mostly hot air and maybe stepping on my own feet. Just like to hear what others may think. does anyone see the possibility of.. Turris Zibanejad Smith ???? up the middle and that maybe Spezza may infact inquire us a huge asset? don't get me wrong I want spezza on this team for life even as "C" he is an impact player but if Turris turns into a better spezza down the road I can't see the harm in getting us that Top 3 Winger. down the road of course, lets be sure Turris can prove himself. Depth... someones got to go. even in the AHL there is only 12 forward positions. I know we got bodies that can go to the ECHL and someone will head back to Junior but the fact is players will progress better at a higher level of hockey. Karlsson needs A Mike Green or Drew Doughty. Maybe Ceci is it! I shot myself in the foot for the thoughts of trading off any of our players but this is just a reacurring thought]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Now that Parise & Suter are 'done'... I guess Nash is next. Teams will be up to overpaying Columbus for him now. What will Semin now get? What will Carle now get? Those two will be laughing all the way to the bank... As for the Sens... I don't have the stat but I would really like to know how many 1 goal games the Sens lost last year. If the two new D can help prevent even 1 goal against each game -- how much better off will the Sens be. Let's not forget Silfverberg -- we were so excited to see him play this season. Now it just seems to be all negative regarding the July 1st acquisitions. I looked on Cap Geek and saw that Minny has about 2.5M in cap room. Cullen + one other player come off the books after next season. Setogouchi & Heatley the season after... So I think, as long as the cap doesn't go down, Minny should be good for several years in way of the salary cap. One interesting item was that neither Parise or Suter has a NTC..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Okay now we're just bringing in anyone for the sake of free agency/ fantasy trading, etc. We lost any hope there was in trading for Nash and now lost the chance to land Parise (biiiig surprise). I say we just hold onto what we have now and sit tight. Now that all the big names are over and done with, no need to settle for second rate jabronis. Already I have mixed emotions with Latendresse being on our team and I see him in the exact same role as Foligno, shifting back and fourth as a top 6 and bottom 6 so really, we didn't really gain anything. I'm not saying we should already want to lose before the season started but really, what are the other options in landing MacKinnon? We're also approaching our 4th season with Spezza centering a line with Michalek and in just my opinion, am growing old of seeing the 2 together. It may be time to shake things up. How are we going to shake things up no one wants to play here ..And for the guys that dont have NTC Murray wants dollar for dollar trades to make a deal ..Or your spares for are depth .. This team is hoping Silfverberg Zibanejad Stone Noesen Puempel are going to be the Next Karlsson type player....... ...and FAST!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Are both Parise's & Suter's contracts very similar to Kovalchuk's? You know the one the Devils got fined for -- for circumventing the cap. I think I read both make 4M over the last 3 seasons on the contract. They make something like 35M over the first several years. Say goodbye to contracts like that. This long term, front-end loaded contract will be a thing of the past. They will limit the # of years and probably the last year (in way of money) has to be within a percentage of the first year or average amounts.. Shea Weber had better sign his before the new CBA comes in.. or he gets screwed out of this type of deal.. as do Getzlaf & Perry next year.. Nash has Toronto on his list? He might as well stay in Columbus.. He has young Johannsen I think as one of the centres.. don't know many others.. and in Toronto he gets to play with Bozak. How much say does his wife have as to where he goes...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What bothers me about this NTC/NMC clause thing is why in God's name do discussions even continue between two teams if the player refuses to come to a certain place, and that place is not even on the list. Seems like a whole bunch of wasted energy to me. Remember in the Heatley Fiasco, Heatley's agent, Stacey McAlpine, told BM that Edmonton was on his list, and then reneged after BM strikes a deal: egg on face happens. Now, we are on the other side. CBJ pulls our strings leading us to believe something could be worked out, and the Player says, uh, NO, when asked! Why on earth would you spend all that time wasting your breath talking to a team whom has a player whom would never come to your team???? The whole thing is a non-starter!!! At what point do GM's become aware of a player's list is my question? It certainly seems in a couple of cases they only become aware of the list when the team asks the player to waive. Or, are the teams on the list at the time of signing the contract, and GM's negotiate behind the scenes until its time to ask the player to waive, and then whooops, said player vetoes the deal. sorry, too bad. Nonsense. Something smells fishy about the whole process. KJ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ It's okay to admit you just goofed and were thinking if Alfie were paid more than the $1M he's slated to make next year it would affect the cap. It's not like that's an inexcusable mistake or anything. Hax, no offense, but that was not the case. Murray has said our lineup is full, so he also sees a way to get to the cap floor with the current roster. Nice to see you're ready to jump on anything you think you can though, nothing like a forum full of people trying to tell you what you are saying.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I dont think those records will be broken anytime soon, back to back 50 g's and 100+ points...Its sad his name is still there but it just shows how our kids through out the years havent turned out the way we wanted them to. Zib, Noesen or Pumepel have to pan out and hopefully end up erasing those records but I highly doubt it. Nash or E. Kane could very well break those but that aint gonna happen. I thought Tookie had to keep his "Idontknowanyth ing" moniker until the start of training camp???]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I only got to see him once I was really excited at the chance to see him play. He had an awesome game and was one of the three stars of the game, when he skated out for the three stars (I had really good seats) my buddy and I just *bellowed* "Unleash the Klinkhammer!" he looked over at us and had the biggest smile on his face that I've ever seen. Was an exciting prospect, too bad we couldn't keep him but I guess with this much depth.. they somehow decided to let him walk. Best of luck in Phoenix Rob!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Are you making money? “We’re not making money, and that’s one reason we need to fix our system. We need to fix how much we’re spending right now. [The Wild's] revenues are fine. We’re down a little bit in attendance, but we’re up in sponsorships, we’re up in TV revenue. And so the revenue that we’re generating is not the issue as much as our expenses. And [the Wild's] biggest expense by far is player salaries.” Chuck Fletcher quote from April 11 2012...Oh how times change quick]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[a little bit late on the parise news but wow i am convinced minnesota will win that division if not this season. next season. I really think they will compete with oilers for a while. minni has parise granlund heatley koivu setoguchi as their main scoring forwards, but not too many know about their prospect depth watch for names liek charlie coyle, zack phillips, johan larsson to compete for top 6 spots very soon too. and on D they have jonas brodin, suter, dumba, falk, spurgeon has their future. and a lot of good goaltenders harding hackett gustafsson im excited for them because i personally hate the north west (mainly due to canucks) but finally there will be a 2nd competitive team in that division that will pass the canucks very soon.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Okay now we're just bringing in anyone for the sake of free agency/ fantasy trading, etc. We lost any hope there was in trading for Nash and now lost the chance to land Parise (biiiig surprise). I say we just hold onto what we have now and sit tight. Now that all the big names are over and done with, no need to settle for second rate jabronis. Already I have mixed emotions with Latendresse being on our team and I see him in the exact same role as Foligno, shifting back and fourth as a top 6 and bottom 6 so really, we didn't really gain anything. I'm not saying we should already want to lose before the season started but really, what are the other options in landing MacKinnon? We're also approaching our 4th season with Spezza centering a line with Michalek and in just my opinion, am growing old of seeing the 2 together. It may be time to shake things up.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Alfie's current cap hit is already 4.875 million. With that hit we are currently roughly 4 million below the floor. Are you seriously suggesting that we sign him to a contract with a 9 million cap hit? Yes, 9 million, Alfie should be paid to be top in the league haha! No I'm saying he'll be paid slightly more and the up and down of all the prospects can be timed to bring us to the floor. Like seriously, who would suggest paying Alfie 9mil? lol, sorry but that made me laugh So what you meant was that the kids will get us to the floor. Not Alfie. No, what I meant and said is that the combination of both will. Whether you want to count the contracts of the rookies 1st or Alfie first, it's the same difference as neither have occurred yet. Not sure why you feel the need to stay on this, but I think it's pretty clear.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Agreed adding someone with the potential to be just as good without giving anything up would be ideal, but at the same time we genuinely have too much depth at this point so moving a few guys even if they are considered to be quality prospects for a Kane/Ryan makes sense too. I am totally off the Nash bandwagon(was barely on it to begin with), but really if we could get either of the two guys for a similar(or larger deal for Kane) I would do it. Some people think I am nuts but for E Kane I would likely have no issue with something along the lines of Zibby Stone 2013 first Wiercoch The kid is bloody 20 years old and already had a 30 goal season..and has been close to point a game last year on a meh team...have Spezza feeding him and man he will easily hit 40 goals...I would LOVE to remove a few of Douches records.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Torn...He fits the 30-30 I think we are missing/need. I have no problem with the russian factor that I am sure so many will...If I had my way I would take Ryan/E Kane over him though. I would shocked shitless if Winterpeg traded Kane...there has been lots of buzz around Ryan but like Kane he would cost a lot in terms of prospects not to mention the apparent established center in return. The beauty of Semin (and I would prefer Ryan or even Nash to be honest) is that he wouldn't cost us any prospects. 6.5 per seems about roughly right given the contracts we've seen the past few days, but I'm not sure the 2 year length would cut it. I'd like him on a shorter contract to prove himself and not feel complacent o a long deal.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[true but we got spezza because of a drafted player so depends on how you want to swing it Id be ok for Semin on a short term deal, but I doubt he accepts it, knowing full well Detroit may be willing to give longer term Semin could easily score 40 goals, and I think Gonchar would help him adjust to our team Maclean uses a system that Semin would like and embrace. It would also help us with our Pittsburgh rivalry]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Uh, like any other player... you draft them, and develop them. With the exception of Ovi/Crosby who were just naturally gifted. These were two players (Suter/Parise) that stayed with their franchise since being drafted... I think we drafted and developed a couple stars of our own... Alfie. Spezza. Hossa. Erik Karlsson. We don't need to go out and grab the big names. We've done a pretty good job with it so far. And I think another star will be coming into the league soon... Mika Zibanejad. If we can't go out and convince star players to come here, then we have no choice but to draft them, and show the rest of the league we're capable of producing elite players. I think we have drafted well too thats not my problem ..Trades though have helped this franchise too.. And Spezza was traded here ..yes we drafted him but it wasnt are pick]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Alfie's current cap hit is already 4.875 million. With that hit we are currently roughly 4 million below the floor. Are you seriously suggesting that we sign him to a contract with a 9 million cap hit? Yes, 9 million, Alfie should be paid to be top in the league haha! No I'm saying he'll be paid slightly more and the up and down of all the prospects can be timed to bring us to the floor. Like seriously, who would suggest paying Alfie 9mil? lol, sorry but that made me laugh]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Agreed 100%...although I was pretty convinced looking at our team last year that we would be a lottery team. So who knows, I think we look marginally better this season with the signings(very marginally). I also still believe we overachieved last season, and honestly shouldn't expect it again.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yeah whether we will allow less goals against remains to be seen but seems likely. Hopefully a stronger more consistent season from our goaltending tandem, having two solid rookies in the wings should mean no burnout for Mr. Anderson. Depending if EK65 can keep up the pace and not suffer any setbacks + our youth growing one more year and maybe another young sniper making the team, scoring should go up a bit as well. At the end of the day that is what killed us against the Rangers, and I'd still like to make a top 3 *bang* to give us better odds and realistically give Alfie a chance at the Cup. I can;t honestly say as our squad sits today that we could possibly contend against other stronger teams. If we somehow could pry out Bobby Ryan, that would be my #1 player of choice at this point to put us in contention.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Uh, like any other player... you draft them, and develop them. With the exception of Ovi/Crosby who were just naturally gifted. These were two players (Suter/Parise) that stayed with their franchise since being drafted... I think we drafted and developed a couple stars of our own... Alfie. Spezza. Hossa. Erik Karlsson. We don't need to go out and grab the big names. We've done a pretty good job with it so far. And I think another star will be coming into the league soon... Mika Zibanejad. If we can't go out and convince star players to come here, then we have no choice but to draft them, and show the rest of the league we're capable of producing elite players.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Pittsburgh is on Nash approved list so NYR, PHI, DET, SJ and PITT are the known teams,and rumored TOR makes 6 I don't see how Pitt would have any assets worth Nash. I don't see CLB trading Nash to inter-division rival DET leaving the same SJ(who have no interest) Philly and NYR Rangers are probably still in the lead as Philly would prefer Ryan]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger Interesting and important point. It was important to Parise that he and Suter were compensated equally. What a classy guy!! "we are gunna offer you 100 million for 13 years Zach" "No I can't accept that, take 2 million off and give it to suter, we both will play for a low amount of 98 so we can be equally compensated"]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I totally agree, adding two guys that slide into top spots you can immediately see just how bad the log jam is... and that is after two lateral moves in Latendresse/Fol igno and Methot/Kuba. We are still THAT log jammed but still could use some elite talent... everyone from Ceci to Butler Regin to Dacosta didn't even make the depth sketch... not to mention are myriad other prospects not expected to make the jump yet. Maybe the right time is this week, maybe it in November when Murray often pulls off a gem, maybe it's at the trade deadline... but we are two elite bodies away from being serious contenders in Alfie's final or penultimate season... I say get one deal done early and another later. Top line forward for now, see how the first two months of the season pan out, then reassess if we are strongly contending what we could do for help, likely a top 4 D. I haven't been quiet about wanting a top 3 forward...I think I would be the most ecstatic person in the city if we scored Ryan or E Kane(I know both unlikely). I would like to see what our D signings are able to do before going nuts for someone else, Methot could be a good top 4 guy, see how he works out. The other guy I genuinely don't know a damn thing about...so see what he does, if he craps the bed, sit him move one of our young guys up and try to find another higher end guy and do the bump down.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What a great day if you are a Sens fan. Parise and Suter to the Wild. Here I was thinking that they might go to the Penguins and then we would not have any shot at winning the East. 15 million for 13 years for two second tier players. Just think what Evgeni Malkin must be daydreaming about when in 2 short seasons he is a UFA, or Corey Perry when he becomes a UFA in 2013-14.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ other than the Alberta teams, all Canadian teams have the same issue - there are about 500,000 reasons (read: dollars) why players getting paid in that range prefer going to the US - after-tax dollars. Should not worry about it, just the way it is. see article: http://business.financialpost.com/2012/06/29/graphic-hockey-havens-not-necessarily-tax-havens/ I agree but here is my issue If we cant sign big names or trade for big names ...its a bigger problem then TAXES If you limit free agency to overpaying because our budget isn't there we set ourselves up for giving older players more money and that "extra year" type deals players like Haseks Gonchars Kovalevs ... The draft is more important to this team than ever but we still need to make those "Big Trades" for players like Spezzas Turris Heatleys Charas Reddens Michaleks If we lose the way of the big name trade this franchise will be behind the 8 ball for 5-7 years yearly trying and waiting for the next Alfredsson Hossa Havlats to be drafted and grow ... Even concerns me that our Owner is writing open letters to the fans cause he hears that people aren't happy with the direction and he is trying to save face and season tickets .. Check the numbers its more than taxes ...Season tickets are on decline.. merch on decline .. Theres a issue here when your owner spends to cap and still needs 2nd rd playoffs to make money ..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yes they will be able to buy him out and re-work the contract. I've been saying they'd do this if he came back for quite some time despite all the other posters saying he'd come back to play for 1 mil cause he's just that much of a quality character. Alfie will get us to the floor, the kids will probably swap between Bingo and Sens throughout the year.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Even as we sit now we have WAY too many players, I saw one of the Bsens twitter accounts say that they have 17-18 forwards signed for next season, and they weren't even taking into account the players likely to play in Ottawa this winter. We have SO much depth atm it is stupid...I hope there is something in the works that will come out of left field and "surprise" us...like a Ryan/Kane sorta thing, but with this new Alfie contract tidbit coming up I am not as convinced that signing someone else will be vital...Althoug h I am not completely sure how the CBA works but couldn't we theoretically buy him out and rework the contract like we did last time to make it to the floor?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The value of great UFAs versus trades... Had we made this splash today, here is the sort of line-up we could ice if we wanted to and still have a half dozen serviceable players + all of our prospect pool still left over. Yeah I know we wouldn't want to let rookies rot on the fourth line but this is illustration of depth. Parise - Spezza - Silfer Michalek - Turris - Alfie Latendresse - Z Smith - Neil Greening - Zibanejad - Stone Karlsson - Methot Suter - Cowen Phillips - Gonchar Borocop - Lundin How many 'spare parts' and tradable assets? If we sent the remnants all down the Bingo it would almost guarantee us the Calder. All with some of the best goaltending depth in the league. Man I would need valium to sleep tonight the erection wouldn't subside for days. Sorry to depress anyone, but when evaluating a monster deal like this it is fun (I think) to see how it would have impacted the Sens should we had made those deals. Not saying that they ever would have come here in the first place...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not sure how long you've been gone but we signed an even more amazing tandem than that! Methot + Lantendresse. Not kidding! I can't believe we traded a potential 1st line 50 goal scorer with a ton of "character" for Latendresse. Man we're going to end up regretting this big time when Foligno leads the Jackets to the Cup finals next spring...]]></description>
