That player's name is Jonathan Huberdeau.
Huberdeau has been rising quickly on the lists of most scouts. Once thought to be a player on the Sens radar at the 6th pick, they would likely have to move up to grab him now. Huberdeau has had an outstanding playoff and has been a key piece in the Saint John Sea Dogs run to the Memorial Cup.
He has racked up 30 points in 19 playoff games and had two points in the Memorial Cup opener.
His play has not gone unnoticed by Sens scouts. The Ottawa Senators have had scouts watching Huberdeau more than any other team and apparently at least one guy high in the organization is said to be extremely high on Huberdeau. The latest ISS rankings had him ranked at #7 so there's a chance he could be available when the Sens step up to the podium on June 24.
On the coaching front, I still believe the club would like to have someone in place before that day in June. A few names rumoured to be among the guys the Ottawa has an interest in; Kirk Muller and Marc Crawford. Dave Cameron and Kurt Kleinendorst will also be on the team's radar.
I would love to see Muller here in Ottawa and think he is exactly the type of guy this young team needs. His name has already been associated with the job in Dallas as well.
On the Binghamton Senators front, the club is still waiting to find out who they will face in the Calder Cup Finals. The Hamilton Bulldogs have fought all the way back from a 3-0 deficit and will play the Aeros in Game 7 tomorrow night.
As soon as that game wraps up we should know the schedule for the Finals and we can begin to release details on the next road trip to Bingo (or Hamilton perhaps?).

Skip down to the heading "Boogard was Not a Hero"
Just me? Or incredibly harsh words from just a completely negative and pessimistic human being. In my opinion completely uncalled for to put in a newspaper regardless of your opinion.
He mentioned one already has, the other maybe.
I hope to god that doesn't mean Cameron in Ottawa. As an assistant only maybe or maybe head coach in Bingo.. with Kleinendorst coming to Ottawa.
The draft will be very entertaining. I can hardly wait.
12 picks... but my guess some of them will be used to move up. Huberdeau would be good. He's a centre as well.
I think they will probably also draft a goalie in the 2nd round... what do the rest of you think?
Hamilton seems to have an experienced team.
Nigel Dawes appears to be the most dependable player. He has a lot of NHL experience does he not?
Let's hope the layoff helps more than hinders the B-Sens.
I would be downright awful to lose to the Habs farm team.
No need imo for Murray to draft any defencemen.
We may have too many centers, but lack a true top 6.
Never played hockey so don't really know the answer -- but how hard is it for a centreman to play either wing? Different responsibilitie s on the ice?
Regin definitely has more skill and flash.. but Foligno would go through the wall for his team.... I like that in a player.
Yes Sens have too many 3 and 4th liners.. but when you don't draft in the top 10 very often, the chances of getting the Crosby's, Staal's, Skinner's, etc are quite lacking, then you have to do the best with what you have.
Of course, there is also that diamond in the rough, so to speak.. but generally the best players are drafted in the top 10.
The Sens are doing that this year. I pray they make the correct decision. Huberdeau is a good player. Would be nice if they could pick up Phillips with a lower pick...
Go Sens Go.
Well said.
I still believe a lot, maybe too much in Regin, because he is so damn skilful. But I'd rather keep Foligno.
Either way at least a couple of bodies are going to have to be moved.
Sounds like Hartsburg Part Deux.
Pass.
What's the difference between Cameron, Clouston and Hartsburg.
Make the right decision BM.
Nice article about the Sens' off season.
He mentions that Jeff Carter could be a trade possibility due to the Flyers' cap woes.
I wonder what it would take to get Carter?
Regin+ Winchester+ Nsh 1st(?)
Cap Hit: $5,272,727, No NTC/NMC
That was a nice article.. and accurate for once
I agree with Sandy. Folgino has lots of great qualities that are hard to find. Why get rid of him in a rebuild? Foligno is a heart and soul player that could really thrive in the playoffs.
It's just way too early to give up on Foligno. I see him beig a fantastic 3rd liner, 20g 20-30a and plays a physical game.
since when do we have "too many forwards"? Maybe 4th line forwards, sure, but generally, forwards are the things we need he most.
MM9-Spezza-BB16
Landeskog (hopefully)-Carter-Alfie
Greening-Dacosta-Foligno
Winnie-Smith-Neil
Extras:Shannon(If re-signed) Condra
gonchar-runbland
Karlsson-kuba (hopefully not)
Cowan-Phillips
Extras:Carks, Lee
Not bad...Not bad at all.
Sandy "Regin definitely has more skill and flash"
I really don't get this statement (not picking on you, I've heard if from others aswell), I've seen Foligno make just as many flashy plays as Regin has. and his success rate has been much better.
I wouldn't say there's 1 thing that Regin does better than Foligno.
That leaves a space open in Detroit on defense.
You know I think they could really use Gonchar... all it would cost would be a 1st round pick... LOL
we are going to have to give to get.
Possible players to be traded.
Kuba
Carkner
Gonchar
Neil
Regin
Foligno
Winchester
Michalek
lots on the list I would like to see kept but don't feel they are safe from being traded for the right deal.
some for trading up in the draft and others for a top 3 player.
BM is not done thats for sure.
Kuba for detroit's 2nd
also, on an unrelated note, David Rundblad got names HockeysFuture's prospect of the year. A great sign from the player many sens fans were confused about when Murray made the deal, I know I wasn't too happy when i first heard. Looks like an absolute beauty though
heres the link: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/13090/hockeys_future_prospect_of_the_year2011/
I know that our bottom 6 is full, but (I know that I'll take some mad shit for this) I liked Max Lapierre's play in this years playoffs.
He would be a FA this year. Might be good? challenge one of the "Bottom 6" prospects to try for the top 6. or even push Regin to return to his play that it was in the playoffs last year
Why the hell would they trade their former number 2 overall pick, their highest touted prospect that they spent 4 years developing, only costing them ~ a million dollars a year.
That would be like us trading Karlsson, or Toronto trading Kadri. You don't trade those type of prospects...
Carter is mentioned, because like the article said, he is the most likely to be traded from that roster given his contract's flexibility of not having a NMC or NTC, and the team's future cap problems.
In my opinion, a Spezza-Carter punch at center would be well received in Ottawa.
5.2 mil for a guy who's considered one the best centers in the league and is a ~35 goal scorer is pretty damn good. Adding Carter would almost immediately make the team a playoff hopeful.
I also would like to see Kirk Muller as the next coach.
I would like to see one of Coutier or Huberdeau or Carter as one of our second line centermen.
I agree Murray needs to trade both Regin and Kuba maybe even package both of them in a trade for someone useful.
I am watching the Bruins and Tampa Bay game. I see how the Bruins and the Lightning both have big gus Lucic Bos and Malone Tampa.
I would like to see Murray draft someone with some size in this draft who can be a net presence or I mean stand in front of the net and take a beating. I would still like to see Murray draft Adam Lowry.
He seems like a solid pick, but would deffinatly need another year in the Q
Great day to do a Huberdeau write up. Not only was he the best passer on the ice for both teams tonight. He got the game winning goal in overtime.
The way he sees the ice really reminds me of Spezza. He surprises his teammates with passes that they just aren't ready for. It'll take a special kind of winger to play with this kid.
PARISE
hahaha
well, he already changed water into wine with a goalie trade so my hopes are high.
About regin, the only thing he really has over Foligno is a shot - maybe as tyrant said, some stickhandling skill too, but it's unfair and missing the point to say Regin is a better skater. He looks nicer, is smoother and possibly slightly more agile, but given how easy it is to knock him down, it's misleading to say he's a better skater. Foligno has an uglier stride but he's WAY stronger on his skates than Regin which means he can drive the net, stay there, retrieve pucks off the boards and take hits. These things are all much harder for Regin as they are less suited to his skills.
... did i miss something? has strome already started playing in the nhl and scoring?? I like strome too but you can't just go out and say that he is already an nhl scorer. fact is until they play we won't know.
completely agree. The way he delays at the blueline and can out wait the opposing teams players to find a man coming in late reminds me so much of spezz. not a lot of players have that type of vision or the skill to pull it off. kids a player fosho.
1) Regin has NOTHING on Foligno. Regin is easy to knock off the puck, and doesn't have enough skill to finish consistently in the NHL. At least Foligno has a clear role as a solid checking winger. Regin is not a top-6 forward on a good team, so if they can move him, I'm ok with it.
2) As long as the Senators get one of Huberdeau, Landeskog, or Couturier, I'm good. I disagree with the poster who stated that Couturier and Huberdeau could be busts. There's nothing to indicate that they won't be successful at the next level. Chalk Couturier's indifference up to being 17, maybe he just needs to grow up a little. His size and skill level, in my opinion, are too great to ignore.
3) I'd be ok with trading for Carter, but if Philly moves him, it's either for cap relief (so they won't take money back), or for a goalie (which Ottawa doesn't have available). So unless Murray is willing to give up prospects, Carter probably isn't an option.
ahaha, no, Rundblad and Karlsson ain't gonna get traded my friend lmfao you must be on somethin.
Anyways, if the Sens can get Huburdeau at 6th, they should also try to get Zach Phillips if he's left [highly unlikely though] at 21st.
To have two guys who play on the best line in Junior hockey develop together on the same team would be great! They could potentially play together pro..
Agree with your assessment of coaching, and I'd be fine with Gallant.
You're completely off your rocker with your suggestion of what it would take to get the 2nd overall pick.
Rundblad and Karlsson wouldn't be going anywhere.
I'd hazard a guess that 21st overall with a 3rd and Michalek would be overpayment, but that would probably get it done.
People overvalue these picks so much. It's still just a prospect, with no guarantee that he'll turn out to be what people are projecting. That 2nd pick is not worth 2 picks, a blue chip prospect, and a solid NHL 2nd line winger. Not in a million years would this trade happen.
Sounds like the ideal day for a road trip.
I think it would be cool if we could fix letting Chara go and keeping Redden by drafting this guy and having him be successful. He could be a similar to Tyler Myers too. I know we have too many D and we should prob nab 2 forwards in the first round. Plus, it would be very neat having a guy in the system who is almost exact stature as me.
Damn excited to see this kid play next year!
You're assumption that Karlsson is going to be 175lbs for the rest of his life is completely off base.
first of all I think his nhl.com weight of 175 is generous. secondly, for a 6 foot tall professional athlete, I think 190 is his ideal weight
he's only 20 years old man, he obviously hasn't grown into his body. and he's not going to be -25 every season. thats a pretty bold statement.
its only his 2nd season. give the kid some time to grow up, mature, and don't pair him with phillips.
and yes, your trade scenario is a HUGE overpayment for 2nd overall. considering rundlad is is ranked #1 prospect, and has 2 years of developement since being drafted, Rundblad by himself should be able to get the Number 2 pick.
I think Murray thinks he can move Gonchar. Thats the only way the signing makes sense.
I've met him, I'm 5'11" (on a hockey card) and he's taller than me.
Shannon is 5'9" and you can see a pretty big difference just from watching the games. Karlsson is clearly taller.
I think it's more likely we can move Kuba. I know we are very excited by both Cowen and Rundblad, but until we move one of the dmen already signed for next year I doubt we'll see both of them with the big club.
Given that I believe the organisation is not expecting us to challenge next year I don't see Melnyk being comfortable with burying large contracts in the minors or buying them out.
I agree that the only way the Phillips signing makes sense is if we move an existing contract. To be honest, I'm not sure it makes sense even if we do manage to move one of Kuba or Gonchar.
Its true, I am also 5 11`` and Karlsson has at least a one inch height advantage on me. I met him when I worked at Hockey Life.
Alfie will not play first line mins anymore as he has shown signs of age and even missed practice on a consistent basis. He needs to be bumped down and play less more effective minutes.
That's a lot to move up 4 spots. Nash 21st, Ottawa's 2nd & if needed someone like Lee or Weircoch or if they want a forward Jim O'Brien. That is even too much as far as I'm concerned. It's 4 spots for the Sens & a 19 spot down for Colorado.
YES, YES...
On an important note, its been almost a month since I have posted, I guess I just have not had much to say.
One thing is for sure though, I do not want Cameron or Hubredeau. My reasoning for Cameron is obvious, he has no NHL experience. My reasoning for Hubredeau is a little different. I have friends that play in the Q and friend that play in the O and I have played with them both. I know two friends that are relatively the same skill level yet one is able to get twice as many points in the Q when they posted very similar numbers as a minor leaguer. I contribute this mainly due to the lack of physical presence in the Q and it has more free flowing play where strong skaters flourish. The O is a more dynamic and NHL style of play, so I see Strome being the real deal.
Agreed. The sens had a great 2nd line last year - the problem was it was playing as the top line. Alfie and Michalek make up 2/3rds of a great second line.
So giving up the 21st overall pick + either the 9th pick (karlsson) or I think 16th pick in Rundblad + a top 6 forward to move up 4 spots in the draft? That's way too much. If Murray did that.. I would really question his sanity.
Lee did okay with Phillips down the stretch did he not. Overall Lee played very well for sitting out almost 1/2 a season. It's taking him quite a while to get there.. but he has much improved.
A lot of the defensive problems at the beginning of the year were in net. Those D were so scared to make a mistake as it ended up in the net... that's all they did was make mistakes.
He's taller than Alfie on skates.. and I think Alfie is 5'10.
By the way, congrats to Alfie & Bibi on the birth of their 4th son... William Erik Alfredsson.
Your buddy Yost suggested that the Sens have interest in T J Oshie. Apparently he is an RFA this year.
Now that would like a dream come true. Young and very talented. Got into a little trouble last year.. but that got all fixed up.
He mentioned something of a package that could include Patrick Weircoch.
Not sure I would want to give up on him.. but with the young D depth the Sens have + add Ben Blood next season and it's a possibility.
Your thoughts?
100% in agreement... that signing does not make any hockey sense for a team in the middle of a rebuild!
Haven't heard anything about it myself. The Sens will be looking to add a top 6 forward through free agency or a trade and I suppose Oshie fits the bill.
The Wiercioch trade talk does make some sense with the strength of the back end but again, have not heard anything specific about him being shopped around.
You like the sounds of that deal?
I have not seen very much of Oshie, but the little I have seen, he was most impressive, and would love to see him with Spezz.
I know for a fact that we have too many young D prospects that want to make the jump next year, and we have way too many 3rd and 4th liners signed up with Butler and Condra, still as to be signed and realistic shots at making it as well. Therefore a deal involving a young D and another forward, I believe is imminent, and Oshie could really fit that bill nicely. Just not sure what it would take to pry him out.
karlssen 5'9"?!? Don't get mad at someone until you have your facts straight.
I still think Alfie is a top line player when he's fully healthy (he showed that at the start of last year), I just have doubts that he could play a season without getting injured.
Looking at our depth chart, Michalek is still a first line player on this team - hard to slice it any other way.
I was upset when Kelly left but I understood. Phillips getting resigned - not sure why that happened. In my opinion, hat was the last chance we had to get something substantial for him. I just hope he doesn't suck as completely as he did last season.
Phillips was only thinking of himself really. I don't really seem him as a top line Defense men anymore especially without Volchenkov.
Michalek is still one of the most explosive player on this team and will remain a top 6 for years to come.
If I had a time machine I'd try anything to keep Vermette (favorite player) I know his exactly what this team is missing. Though I'm seeing a lot of him in Jakob Silfverberg.
Here's to hoping a better future!
In Murray We Trust
Oshie is a center, don't think he'd be playing with Spezza, if we got him.
This is a sad stat:
$44,775,000 salary for 2011-2012 (Currently)
Gonchar: $5.5M
Kuba: $3.7M
Phillips: $3M
$12.2M total for these bums! That's over 1/4 of our total salary cost going to these 3 guys! Unless Gonchar can prove me wrong next season, in my mind, they are all dead weight, especially Kuba. We need to move at least him before the start of next season....
Agreed, out of the three last year Kuba's game picked up towards the end. Although if the next coach intends to be more offensive minded kuba and especillay gonchar will have better seasons. I have no hate towards coulston but our team is more talented offensively. why change everyone to something they are not.
I agree 12.2M to those guys is enough to make you wanna slap your grandmother in face, but it's all relative when you think how little we're paying Karlsson, Runblad, Cowan and even Lee, who I think is gonna surprise some people with a solid shutdown game next year.
I would never slap my grandmother in the face, for the record.
and why shouldn't he? I didn't like the deal when it happened and I don't like it now but blaming Phillips for it isn't the way to go. He should do what is best for him and his family.
I hope he bounces back but I hoped that at the start of the season before last as well. It's not just last year he sucked, he was bad the year before that and wasn't great the year before that either.
I see it a bit like Redden, we all just hoped Redden's first bad year was a blip and he would be back in the saddle soon enough - and he never did. I think that's what we have with Phillips.
Kuba is the least defensively responsible defensive in the league, remember how easily Kessel blew by him in that one Leafs game? He's so slow it's not even funny. Not to mention he's softer than an old man's limp dick. Take anything you can get for him, just like the Kovalev trade....
Kuba: $3.7M
Phillips: $3M
$12.2M total for these bums! That's over 1/4 of our total salary cost going to these 3 guys! Unless Gonchar can prove me wrong next season, in my mind, they are all dead weight, especially Kuba. We need to move at least him before the start of next season....
@PraiseAlfie
must agree with you once again, since we knew we were stuck with Gonchar and Kuba (no one will touch them)then I could not uderstand why we did not just let Phillips walk. I agree it hurts to bash him (great guy), but the sens are not in the nice guy business. If he wanted to play hardball, then you would have to let him walk, see what he was worth as UFA, and then he could decide if he really wanted to stay in Ottawa. We could have kept Campoli RFA, at less then half the cost.
This was a brutal signing, and will hurt more next year with NTC.
good point he should be doing what's best for him and his family, but take this into consideration. if the sens said we're done with you. and no one wanted you next season because you weren't willing to accept a trade or a short term contract based on his performance. how well do you think hi family and himself would be without a job. Murray was being nice. too nice. Phillips better not get in my face. :)
wow slap you gramma in the face... that is funny though
it is a kick in the groin, but somehow the Sens did this to themselves, and as has been mentioned already, why would you add another D-man with an expired, best before date, to this expensive contract, and a NTC. Really it is completely mind boggling, now we have 3 over the hill D-man we cannot get rid of...it is a head scratcher
When he started playing with Lee down the stretch he was better.
I would really like to see the plus/minus of the Sens D AFTER the Anderson trade. I think it would be 80% better than it was with Elliott/Leclaire.
No GM is stupid enough to trade for Kuba. Milbury is not a GM anywhere so the Sens are stuck with him this year. Since he is in his last contract year I also don't see a buyout.
I would think if a team that is a cup contender came to Murray to try to get Gonchar he would waive the NTC to go. He would sooner play on a Cup contender than on a rebuilding team. But that's just my opinion.
T J Oshie a 2nd line centre, playing behind Spezza -- YES please. Question is what do you give up to get him?
Try -- Nash pick 21st overall, Weircoch, O'Brien or Regin +.
Don't know if that would be enough... any other thoughts?
Yost said that, huh?
Only about 3 months too late.. I said the exact same thing 2 days after I heard Oshie missed practice for no reason. Maybe I should write for the buzz
I think Trading Gonchar before the season starts, and trading Kuba before the deadline is the real way to go.
Gonchar didn't have a great year, but I really don't think his value was affected. And I could see him waiving his no-trade, but only before he realizes how good our team really is..
Kuba, I don't think has any value right now, but he should. As long as he can stay healthy until the deadline, his value will go up. He just gets so many assists playing with Karlsson and Spezza on the PP
I don't quite get what you want me to take into consideration.
I don't believe for a second that Phillips thought Ottawa weren't going to offer him a new contract. I also don't think there would have been a complete absence of suitors should Ottawa have decided not to re-sign him.
His signing would be more palatable without one of Kuba and Gonchar being around and there is still time for that to happen before the start of the season, but I still think it's the only bad deal Murray has made since being given clear direction from Melnyk that we are rebuilding.
I must start by saying that I do respect much of what you have to say, but I think you are way off on Phillips argument. Just because Anderson stood on his head, it did not mean he was playing better. And to Lee's credit, he was playing some of his best hockey, which ended up benefiting Phillips. He has lost a step, and even worse it seems he does not have the agility or mobility he once did. This past year was not his only bad year, as someone said it is his 3rd bad year, but by far his worst, so rewarding him with another contract was with NTC, at this point was a huge mistake, IMO
what I'm getting at is simple. If Phillips decided to not waive his no trade clause, and find himself out of a job next season. it would of not been a good move for him or his family. he would A) find no NHL team offers because of his lack of talent. B) find himself on another team anyway and not being a part of Ottawa.
Really if it could of gone down the way it should of. Phillips be traded to a contender for a draft pick this season. and then we sign phillips back for this season.
The Sens needed some veteran on D and Phillips filled that role.
Not too long ago Crosby called him the hardest D to play against.... not Volchy BUT Phillips. So he has to have some skill.
Of course he's not as fast as he used to be.
But let's say we agree to disagree.
This season will tell the tale. I think this NTC is only for the 1 yr is it not? or is it 2?
A) stand a guy up at the blueline
B) angle a guy off properly
C) deliver any other kind of physical contact, and
D) win battles
I honestly don't think Phillips is that far off his old form, I just don't see his killer instinct to want to win every single battle. I have faith he will play better next season.
5. Oilers considering dealing first pick?
No. Not that I am hearing, however they are actively pursuing another top ten pick to make a "franchise move" with a team from the East. It has long been known the Oilers love Jason Spezza and there is a strong belief the team needs some experienced star power to bring along the ridiculous riches of youth they have in Edmonton.
Anyone?
Maybe the energy of the young players coming into the lineup will do him so good. Put some energy back into his game..
Read that already and laughed... EKLUND again.
Why can't he get it that Spezza is going NOWHERE.. no matter how much the Oilers like him.
They can have Regin + for that 1st overall pick if they want it.... but they aren't trading it for that..
Wow!
1- Damien Cox (garbage to go along with some recent garbage)
2- Pierre Mcguire (because Spezza is such a monster)
3- He who must not be named
He who must not be named continues to impress readers with how terrible the stuff he can sometimes write. Anyone who thinks spez is going anywhere needs a good kick in the head to knock some sense back into them. The deal would have to be completely ridulous...
I get what you are saying and whilst it would have been fabulous if Phillips had been traded at the deadline and then resigned with us if he was going to re-sign at all I think there are two flaws with that theory.
The first is I don't think there was a significant market for Phillips as purely a rental player and the second is that once a couple of things were cleared up on both sides, Phillips knew that he was going to be offered a contract in Ottawa regardless.
So there was no burning desire for Ottawa to have Phillips move as a rental and there was no burning desire for Phillips to test the market because his first choice was here and he knew his first choice was always on the table.
I think Phillips knew before the deadline he would be getting a new contract in Ottawa and once he knew that there was no need for him to rock the boat and that any possible return was not enough for Ottawa to force the issue.
As for Regin I understand that many on here think he was a flash in the pan and had his 5 minutes of glory, but it wasn't as if his play hasn't shown other flashes, he was good as third line player most of his first year and maybe he was just going through a sophmore slump. He has one year left so what's the harm in giving him one more year to show if he's a top six player or not. Da Costa won't be ready for a top six spot, there is no guarantee who we draft will be ready and outside of Butler and maybe Greening we have no one else to play the top six in bingo currently. So Regin and Foligno have one more shot to prove they can play in the top six otherwise Regin will be gone and Foligno will find himself in a 3rd line winger row.
Foligno and Regin just had the whole season to prove they were top six material. You don't get a much better shot than that. I'll be fine when one of them is moved this off season.
I don't exactly see it that way. Murray just didn't want phillips on the team and phillips didn't want to be traded. so hopefully with the new contract one of those years will not have a stupid clause. And now that Phillips is signed, hopefully he'll stop being so useless and stop putting pucks into his own net. I give him a lot of discredit and disrespect. anyone greedy about playing for a team and not willing to waive a stupid clause for a beloved nhl is stupid. just be happy your in the NHL. Honestly what does he do for this team that Cowen won't do. That Chara didn't do. that Volchenkov couldn't do. we can all go down the list, but were left with the 4th Dman that couldn't do anything alone without a chara, redden or Volchenkov. it's time to make some new veterans.
Why is Phillips stupid not to have waived his NTC? Why would he want to? He has a home here. His family is settled here. His family's life is here with friends, school and family. If he is traded it is not his concern if Ottawa gets better (potentially) with his trade. He has to look out fot what is best for him and his family not your vision of what is best for the Sens. Murrar has ro make his own determination of what is best and if Phillips choses to not waive his NTC that is his choice. His play and that of Kuba, Lee and Gonchar improved in the last third of the season. Trading or waiving these players now when their value is the lowest does not make sense. Let them start the season and with improved team and individual play improve their trade value for next trade deadline for new top 60 picks. This is not a one year rebuild.
Re: Gonchar & Karlsson on the PP, the problem was we could barely muster a respectable PP1, let alone a second unit. Clouston got a lot of blame for what is a legit problem - hinder Karlsson's progress or put $5.5 D who's best used on the PP and needs to ignite his game on a hideous second PP unit.
I sure hope Rundblad likes the left side because I'm pretty sure his one time spot would be the same as Gonchar & Karlsson's preferred. I'd actually hope someone can fill me in on that. I get the sense Rundblad is a bit of a meandering D.
Still hoping we package Gonchar - you never know.
Anyone have insight as to how our PP will unfold?
do you not understand playing in the NHL is a privilege not a right.
if I were in the NHL and as much it would make my stomach turn and I had to play for the leafs I'd do it for passion of the game. Not because my son goes to school somewhere. honestly, if you are not prepared to make changes to your life. maybe the privilege should be passed on to someone else.
But saying it's a privilege and not a right is a crock of horseshit and saying you would play for whoever if you were good enough is something a schoolboy would say. Whether you like it or not Phillips earned the right to not waive his NTC because his prior play and his negotiations gave him that right.
If Ottawa had decided that they no longer wanted Phillips they would have turfed him out on his arse and not looked back. We were all slamming Heatley for not sticking to his contract, it's hypocritical of us to slam Phillips for doing the opposite.
Friends don't call friends leaf fans but weren't we all laughing at them when they were slagging off Sundin for not waiving for the good of the team. They might be millionaires and heroes but that doesn't mean they aren't people first.
