They have two upcoming UFA's ond efense in Whitney and Smid arguably their best dmen If they walk, that team will never get out of the basement my god BTW Smid would look good here (oh wait, could have happened haha)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Silfverburg will be 40+ points I'm guessinug 23 goals 20 assists I want to be more generous but don't think the rest of our team has improved enough. I think he will be right in the mix for the Calder trophy as well. No other rookies will really matter as they will only see significant time if there are injuries]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I like the fact Nathan Lawson was signed by Ottawa. He's more than I expected Ottawa would go after, as I thought they would just fill the position with a peg allowing Lehner to take starting duties in Bingo. While I do see Lehner being the #1, it won't be handed to him, Lawson will make him work hard for it night in and night out. Great signing.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Of course nobody can predict the future (though Tookie will pretend like everything is a forgone conclusion). But we're all entitled to offer opinions on who should be expected to improve and who might see a bit of a drop off after somewhat over-achieving last year. Agreed... and I fully expect Turris to have a very good season.. He has put in the work this summer to date gain 10 lbs of muscle to date. It's obvious he is committed to make an impact on the team this next season. I like the summer.. but boy I miss hockey...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'll probably get harped on my predictions but I'm using the same factors I use each year in my Hockey pools when trying to predict late round sleepers. Who's in a contract year, who has been traded with a fresh start/new linemates. who signed a 1 year and needs to prove themself and who are entering the ever popular 3rd year, where almost all players see an increase in overall point production. This sometimes falls on the 4th year, depending on games played in the 1st year, etc. Like it or hate it, I think I'll be close.]]></description>

Every person submits a full 25 man roster(includin g scabs/prospects ) All you have to say is whether or not they will outproduce their total from last year. New additions gets compared to replacements Ie. Latendresse vs Foligno Methot vs Kuba Lundin vs Carkner Prospects obviously improve Whoever guesses the most right (up or down) wins!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think if you consider that Karlsson won't have Kuba and that Spezza will hopefully have a better "other winger" than last year (though maybe not much better) it's reasonable to assume Karlsson might get a few less points and Spezza might get a few more. I'm hoping that since it looks like we're not going to acquire a top 3 winger to play with Spezza and MM9 that at least we'll end up with someone there as a regular with some success. Even if it's Greening again but he contributes more than last year that should help Spezza - and we have 2-3 better possible options than Greening.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ In my opinion guys who had big years wont do it again. I only see Spezza putting up another 80+ point season. Michalek has a good chance of hitting 30 goals but is a huge question mark. Alfie will have a dip in points, Turris will put up around 50pts (hopefully) Latendresse and Silfverberg we cant count on much, maybe 30-40 pts if no injuries occur. Greening, Condra, Smith will all have lower pts totals than last year. Also Karlsson will have a drop in pts, Methot wont put up as many as Kuba either. Greening just completed his first full season, as did Condra. Smith just completed his 2nd full season. Yet you can say, for sure, that they all peaked? Wow, you're good. I would say Condra can improve since he should have had more pts last year. I do not think Greening will score as many as last year since I find it hard to believe he plays as much with Spezza this year as for Smith its a wildcard he had two seasons last year. a good one (first half) a horrible one (second half) so tough to tell where he actually is in terms of production]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Although I'm not defending Tookie, I agree in his assessment that Spezza can maintain a ppg pace where as it will be difficult for karlsson to duplicate that Often Karlsson will start a breakout, but may be "3rd" assist guy. If Silf gels with Spezza and/or Latendresse can bury a few I think Spezza could stay at ppg. Defensively its so hard to be a ppg, and thats why Karlsson was so damn impressive last year]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ In my opinion guys who had big years wont do it again. I only see Spezza putting up another 80+ point season. Michalek has a good chance of hitting 30 goals but is a huge question mark. Alfie will have a dip in points, Turris will put up around 50pts (hopefully) Latendresse and Silfverberg we cant count on much, maybe 30-40 pts if no injuries occur. Greening, Condra, Smith will all have lower pts totals than last year. Also Karlsson will have a drop in pts, Methot wont put up as many as Kuba either.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Pretty much Tookie and Hax Regression towards the mean is standard and without going all Yost on you guys its pretty normal to see players regress back to the average. For example look out for Everle this year. Its been well documented how high his shooting percentage is. Unless he establishes himself as a Stamkos like scorer he will regress this year. Basically any goal that was scored while he was on the ice he got a point. easy math says you have a 3/5 chance, his stats showed more like 4.5/5 chance..anyways Sens players with either a U or D next to their name in terms of how their points wiill trend (Up/Down) Latendresse(U from Foligno)-Spezza (U)-Silf(U from Butler) MM9(D)-Turris(U )-Alfie(D) Greening(D)-Reg in(U from Konopka)-Neil(U ) O'Brien(U)-Smit h(D)-Condra(U) Karlsson(D)-Met hot(D from Kuba) Cowen(U)-Goncha r(U) Phillips(U)-Bor o(U from Carkner) Looking at it this way the real only contributors from last year that I see regressing will be MM9, Alfie, karlsson and Smith. All our new additions minus Methot should be a positive statsitical upgrade over their replacement.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ While I agree all these guys are capable of repeating or even improving on their great years, the fact remains that we can't expect each and every one of them to do so. Some amount of "normalization" is to be expected. Tookie is of course putting the most glass-half-empt y spin on it, but essentially he's right in that we aren't likely to see *all* of these guys repeat/improve. I think some will but a couple probably won't for various reasons. I think on paper our team is a tiny bit better than last year, but in the end our record might be a bit less due to not as many guys having peak years. Of course, we could have won 5-10 more games last year without playing much better overall (a lucky bounce here and there etc) so I fully expect/hope that we'll still be very much in the hunt for the playoffs. Ya, what he said, I just say it with less words..bang on Hax]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I don't know in which world 30 x 3 x 2 = 144 but whatever. I don't think you can be that definite or precise by using stats alone. II could happily counter with the information that Foligno's average TOI last sesason ranked 232nd in the league amongst forwards. That doesn't take into account things like PK or PP of course which is why it's a misleading stat especially when another stat is that he was the 6th ranked senator forward in average TOI. Foligno saw plenty of top 6 time and plenty of 3rd line time which indicates to me he wasn't a lock in the top 6 on the senators. I think he has potential to be a day in/day out top 6 player, but he has a better chance of doing that long term somewhere other than Ottawa. I guess I was between calculations... it happens. 16 x 3 x 3 = 144. I think I was about to argue he's a third liner by stats.]]></description>

With the combination of having 40 mill in cap space, Murray's hard-on for Swedes, and Vancouver's ridiculously expensive current D-corp/only 19 mill to sign a lot of players, I wonder if we'll make a pitch.

This is exactly my point with all the Foligno detractors, you are arguing from a point of falacy. 45pts is easily 2nd line material on most NHL teams, even STANLEY CUP WINNING ones! Last season, only 2 teams had 6 forwards score 45+ points (Phi & Pit). And their 6th forward scored 49 and 48 points respectively.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If PJ was good enough to be in the NHL, he never would have left... I say no thank you. As for Tom's blog, Regin, Latendresse and Silfverberg will have roster spots but I don't think Zbad will have a full year with the big club. He'll be on a rotation with other BSens players who will have short stints all year long. And if one player should actually stick around for a while longer, perhaps due to an injury, my money would be on Hoffman as having the best chances. An interesting question I don't hear to many people talking about is our 6 and 7th D. So far its lining up to be a battle between Lundin, Boro, Wiercioch, Benoit and Gryba. And we know we need to replace toughness so I'm hoping Boro as 6 and rotations amongst the other 4 until one proves to be worthy.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think there have certainly been deals on the table for Murray to pull the trigger on; he's just waiting to completely fleece a desperate team so we don't deplete our assets in anyway. As a whole, the average fan understands we are in a rebuild/retool so there aren't any lofty expectations on us right now. The Murray's are looking to build a solid team down in Bingo to groom our young guns and make sure that the Sens are at least "competitive". However the brass may be overestimating how good we'll actually be, if no solid additions are made we're going to be hard pressed to make the playoffs. The other teams around us are improving while we're remaining stagnant. Murray might be looking ahead to 2013 where we'll have 40 million (yes 40 MILLION) in cap space (assuming the cap stays at 70 mill) and will be looking to add a Perry or Getzlaf/draft high in a very deep draft (due to a poor finish this year). That's honestly the only logical explanation I can think of.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[dont think there is any reason to worry about guys having breakout years, again. spezza will stay the same year after year. goaltending is the last of our problems. if milo cant score then guys like latendresse silfverberg regin butler or even stone/zib will get increased playing time to score. turris and z.smith can only get better from here. dont need to remind people, we have depth. Not the best depth, but its still something. 1 player goes down to an injury or a slump, we have another eager to get a chance. the only problem i see is how far karlsson will cary us. My expectations are he will get 55-60point season. some may call that a dissapoitning year, i think its a better thing. I prefer a 60point karlsson over an 80 only because the 60point guy would be way better defensively (see lidstrom). ive said it before, if we are in trouble by 25games into the season, only then expect a major move coming.]]></description>

And I am also happy to boo the crap out of him whenever he's bold enough to come to our barn. But I don't lose sleep over it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ A bit...it was the main theme in our entire season. Smith, Greening, Foligno, Karlsson, Anderson and even Alfie as a 39 year old scoring 27 goals...They all overachieved and I can bet you they wont have the same season again. I don't think any of those guys in particular overachieved drastically are you kidding? Sure we all wonder if EK65 can keep up such a torrid pace two years in a row but to say Anderson and Alfie drastically overachieved are you serious? Smith actually really struggled down the stretch and I hopeful he can be better and have a more consistent and healthier year next season. Funny how I was agreeing they overachieved "a bit" and no surprise you need to counter that with a "NO we should have sucked and overachieved to insane levels" type of post. Typical Tookie post, especially considering their achievements lost you a bet. Funny how you already are saying "and I can bet you they won't have the same season again". LOL.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[And for anyone speaking ill of one Nick Foligno: Please remember he's the guy that knocked Dany Heatley out when he wouldn't stop running his mouth. (At least that's one rumor I choose to believe.) So even though I loved him as a player anyway, that one fact (rumor) gives him a lifelong pass in my book. Having said that, I think the trade was still necessary. We need Methot more than we need Foligno. Now, if Foligno finally puts it all together like I think he's capable of that might be a different story. I think he's capable of being a 60-70 point guy that plays with an edge (like Lucic but not lobotomized). He's still far away from that level though and may never get there so the trade seems to be the prudent move.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Quality post Tom. It's hard to get too excited about the moves so far but it's not really the team's job to get us excited (not their primary job anyway). It's their job to build a team that can contend for years and maintain a high level of play indefinitely - which will be plenty to be excited about down the line. While it would have been fun to land Parise or Suter or trade for Nash/Ryan, those things are just not realistic and I'm glad they're not trying to fake it with second tier talent.]]></description>

This is exactly my point with all the Foligno detractors, you are arguing from a point of falacy. 45pts is easily 2nd line material on most NHL teams, even STANLEY CUP WINNING ones!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I don't know in which world 30 x 3 x 2 = 144 but whatever. I don't think you can be that definite or precise by using stats alone. II could happily counter with the information that Foligno's average TOI last sesason ranked 232nd in the league amongst forwards. That doesn't take into account things like PK or PP of course which is why it's a misleading stat especially when another stat is that he was the 6th ranked senator forward in average TOI. Foligno saw plenty of top 6 time and plenty of 3rd line time which indicates to me he wasn't a lock in the top 6 on the senators. I think he has potential to be a day in/day out top 6 player, but he has a better chance of doing that long term somewhere other than Ottawa.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@chadillac very true, and sure @sensarmygenera l you bring up valid points about the offsetting stuff but thruth be told, last year without Foligno I don't think we would have been as good. We didn't have many options in the top 6 so he helped out huge And I only used Vancouver/Bosto n/Pittsburgh as examples because you talked about contenders. I don't think anyone in the league would argue with you in saying we aren't there yet. So getting 46 for Foligno when we aren't there yet and don't have the talent for him to play with is impresisve We needed a top 4 dman and Foligno got us that]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have to agree 100%. He may not be your favourite top 6 guy, but he is definitely top 6. People seem to realize that this is a 30 team league, so the "he's not top 6", or "not a top 4" argument often falls flat on its face cause people don't consider the facts when making their arguments. 30 team league x 3 forward positions x 2 lines = 144 Foligno was ranked 110th amongst fowards - definitely top 6. However, you'd want a guy that would help you make the playoffs. 16 teams x 3 forward positions x 2 lines. You want a guy that finishes 96th or higher in production. Foligno just misses, but consider his physical play, and you could make an argument for top 6.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree that some teams have 2nd line talent that scores in the 40-50pt range. However I believe Kesler and Vignealt have had recent issues. Peverly played 57gms and refresh my memory, was Sullivan re-signed by the Pens, and Staal was traded. 55-60pts is more than 45, so I didn't bother with those ones. We also do not have a 80pt player on the second line to offset the low production like a Penguin team (when Sid is healthy) Also, if we have a team 2.33GAA (see Boston), we could get away with 45pt 2nd liners. Thanks for the comments, gave me something to chat about, boy do I miss the game in these lng months.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ We scored the 4th most goals last year. How much better do you want us to be? The fact that we did so well in goals for and so poorly in goals against (24th) is what makes trading a fringe top 6 player (on our team) for a capable defensive player such a smart move. I liked Foligno but he always left me wanting more from him. Howevber i would disagree with the concept of him being bad in the dressing room, everything I have read seems to indicate he was very well liked. I meant Goals Against, not for. That's my bad. My point behind it is we spent a major amount of time in the box last year, which allowed for a good majority of those goals against us.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I agree we have to have grit, but we still do. With Foligno's 15 G's, 47 points, 124 PIMs gone we will rely on Neil who had 13 G's, 28 points, 178 PIMs. And Zack Smith, who last year picked up 14 G's, 26 points and 98 PIMs and those numbers should increase. But you can't place those two players on the same line as a alfie or spezza or michalek, they would be grossly out of place alfie/turris were arguably at their best with foligno on the line Again I'm not saying we shouldn't have traded him, but he was valuable, is valuable and for sure worth the salary he got]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ 45pts is hardly top 6 on a contender I'm confused where did I say that? My initial comment dealt with the Sens moving him due to his inability to be the 2nd liner they require and removing the damaging penalties which create stigma. I alluded to the fact that their might have been a D room/discipline problem (I have no idea, just speculating). I got the impression you were in defence of him as a top 6. If that is the case, the potential that you gave him 20-25g and 20-25a hardly qualifies him as 2nd line material. If I misunderstood, my apologies. Just trying to generate some conversation in an otherwise boring time for hockey fans.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I know in Sudbury, his father coached him and pushed him to go all out all the time. In the OHL its easy to do, because you can start dominating without really noticing. Mike pushed him and didn't really bother trying to reign him in. This turned out to be good for him, as he became a 1st rounder Then he came to Ottawa and we didn't really give him that option. We kept him back for a bit on the bottom lines, and we didn't set a clear role for him. He played top 6-9 minutes but wasn't really used on any special teams. Thats very rare for a forward. Your normally classified as pp guy, pk guy or hybrid. he was none Then Maclean came in and told him to be that line walking guy, and create own space like in OHL. This is why we saw Foligno become productive But just like for the Wolves sometimes Foligno has a hard time towing the line because his hockey IQ is not overly through the roof, he just works his ass off If CLB get him to do that again, but with a more clearly defined offensive role (ie pp guy) I could easily see Foligno getting 20-25 goals and 20-25 assists Not to say he could have done that here, but I think its in him to do]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Perhaps you're correct, but it seemed as though he was stuck in the line 2.5 role. Not quite second line skill, but too much scoring ability for a third line checking role with 11min per game. I would never question he community service or off ice attitude. Clb will be good for him. There he is certainly top 6 quality. He seemed lost at times as to his role with the team. I like his energy and his skill set, but some penalties he took were questionable. We had/have a poor relationships with referees in the league. Foligno walked the line at times last season, perhaps BM is trying to remove some of the stigma around the team in the officials eyes and catch a few more breaks. Now if Karlsson would stop diving.....lol!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[BEcause you need grit and the ability to get dirty Thats why players with high PIMS are good to have. Some of those PIMS are from Foligno's 6 fights. I'm not overly sad he's gone but the kid was useful as hell Sure he took too many Goalie INterference Penalties, but when you crash the net as much as he did, it opens things up. Wouldn't take long to see a correlation of a team with a top 6 with players all under 50 pims, to a top 6 with at least 1 or 2 players over 50 pims Look at cup finalists and you see Richards, Penner, Clarkson]]></description>

Find me a better player not named Cory Perry who scored as many goals/points and tallied as many PIMS as Foligno. That being said Methot is a great top 4 dman. Regardless if he plays with karlsson or not, Methot will be logging top 4 minutes Edit: add in Scotty Hartnell in thqat category as well What is the requirement for PIMS? They are great in Hockey Pools, but on a team who were one of the worst at goals for last year, I'd like us to stay out of the box this season as much as possible. I'd rather have a Patric Hornqvist type of guy who also makes 3M, still get the 25 to 30 goals and stays out of the box.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Agreed something was going on behind the scenes with Nicky, perhaps he was a DRoom issue. I also agree that while we have made some good depth moves (Methot, Latendresse, Lundin), we should make every attempt to get Alfie that ring should he decide to return. My gut tells me that Murray (who I continue to read stories about him contacting Alfie) is waiting on that decision before moving forward. We want, better yet NEED Alfie to remain with the team in some capacity after his great career. I have heard his interviews and he has a tremendous amount of hockey sense. He would be great in any capacity from A/Coach-Scout. I do not think the Sens are done with their moves. I can see Zibby, Weircioch and a goalie (as well as a pick perhaps) being dealt for Ryan. He still needs to move, although once Boston gets word that he is coming to the N East, they may intervene to raise that offers. I think it was just quality for queality that happened. We wanted top 4 we had to give up top 6 potential I can staunchly say that Foligno was definitely not a dressing room issue. The guy busted his balls for thi team and community. He was becoming the face of the Sens foundation after Fisher left. If Foligno wasn't on the ice, he was in the community for various cancer inniatives In the dressing room, who knows what happens, but I do know he was well liked]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Interesting read, but I disagree with a lot of the statements being made. I think Methot is far from being a sure thing to slot next to Karlsson this season. I really don't think he'll be able to keep up with him. I also disagree that the Murray's method is to use cheap production. They were definitely looking for a Q4Q trade so that they wouldn't have to go that route. They just haven't been able to do one yet. That is still their desire though if any of the available stars will ever agree to come here.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Mike Brophy column today: Great shot at Bruce the Buffet No-trade and no-movement clauses suck the life out of the NHL. Big trades in the NHL used to be commonplace, but with each passing year trade deadline day becomes more and more anti-climactic. For weeks leading up to the deadline we are bombarded with potential deals that could take place (my pal Bruce Garrioch in Ottawa single-handedly trades half of the league in his daily column) only to see fewer and fewer deals of any significance consummated.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree Methot is much more likely to meet the potential and be what we need but to say it is 100% that he will successfully slot in with Karlsson is a bit homerish. I would almost love to see Cowen/Karlsson together as I am pretty sure they will be together for ages]]></description>
