Cameron/Reeds Official- Schedule Released

Comments (389)

As expected, the Ottawa senators have named Dave Cameron and Mark Reeds as Assistant Coaches. They join new bench boss Paul MacLean in what will be a new look coaching staff in Ottawa next season.

The hiring of Cameron has been a hot button topic in Ottawa but I have heard mostly good things about him as a coach. Hard working guy that seems like a good fit. Don't know much about Reeds but he was the OHL Coach of the Year in Owen Sound this past season and has a relationship with MacLean.

Luke Richardson will stay on with the Sens as a part time assistant while Rick Wamsley will return as the club's Goaltending Coach.

A day after releasing the preseason schedule, the NHL has released the complete schedule for the 2011/2011 Regular Season. The Ottawa Senators will open up the season on October 7th against Paul MacLean's former team in the Detroit Red Wings. They take on the Leafs the following night.

As I mentioned before, the Sens will play their home opener against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday, October 11.

The full schedule can be seen here.

This guy looks solid for a second round pick

0 #302 SensChirp 2011-06-23 19:06

Nah actually haven't heard anything bad about MacLean. I think he may not be much of a systems guy but he has put together a good staff and I have no concerns about the job he is going to do here.

Quoting JABSmilez:

Quoting Johne:
Staal is too slow for my likings, not enough WOW in his game for me. I'm tired of two-way forwards. I want explosive offense.

I would take Jordan Staal in a heart beat. The kid is 22, and has been burried behind 2 of the top players in the league. He flourished with more time last year and I think you'll see he'll easily be a 60+pt player in the near future. He put up 30pts in 42games last year and at 22 is already one of the best penalty killers.

Ya Jordan Staal's sick. 30 points in 42 games coming back from a brutal injury he was great.

If he played on the second line for Pitt he would have 20+ extra points every year easily.

Johne mentioned how he's looking for explosive offense and is tired of 2 way forwards, yet wants Landeskog smh.

Yep! My ranking based on need : RNH, Huberdeau, Strome. As I said, based on need. These guys have 1st-2nd line potential as opposed to others like Couturier, Landeskog an Zibanejad who are pegged as either two way players or 2nd-3rd line potential.

0 #306 Floridasensfan 2011-06-23 19:08

If Oilers are looking for a Karlsson why don't they pick Larsson.
If we had third pick the cost to move to first might not be so bad.
I think it will take multiple deals to get where we want to be.
I still think even if a deal is made they wait for draft day to let it out.
Shock value or entertainment value.

Quoting jasonontheoldsenschirp:

I've always loved Jordan Staal, on most teams he's is a second line centre. Plays a great two way game, wins faceoffs, creates offense, bit of a power forward game, scores goals. He's sick. When he came back from injury he was the catalyst.

If Couturier is like Jordan Staal I would be ecstatic.

Avs are very high on Landeskog. They need a power forward guy to replace Chris Stewart. I don't see them moving for anything.

Remember Couturier had mono for a good stretch of the season. He did not benefit, like Huberdeau, to play on a stacked team.

Paul McLean wants players to play in all areas of the ice... he wants speed. They say that Couturier can play good defensively, is good offensively.. I've never seen him... is he a good skater?

The Sens have their list. People want to prognosticate about what they think they need, but only the Sens Scouts know what they want. As good as Sens Prospects are on D, Murphy is a bonafide steal of a offensive Defenseman.

Don't forget that Sens aren't ncessarily drafting for next year. They are drafting for the future, and it may be cliche, but "you can never have enough good defenseman".

Not saying they are picking him, but the kid is freeakin' good.

Day before the draft and I was told that Sens scouts are still adjusting their list. This draft is so unpredictable.

0 #314 TheTyrantWee 2011-06-23 19:32

I don't expect to see a trade up. RNH, Larsson, Huberdeau, and Landeskog have separated themselves enough that I can't see the teams in front not taking them.

Put yourselves in the situation. You step up to the podium at 3rd/4th overall about to take Huberdeau/Lande skog. Do you trade down for an extra 2nd rounder only to take Couturier who you don't favour quite as much? Probably not. Couturier has dropped on most peoples boards for a reason. There is a big enough gap that I'll be surprised if someone moves down for less than a kings ransom that isn't worth paying.

+1 #315 karlssens 2011-06-23 19:35

I am so pumped for tomorrow its not even funny. Like I have said before on here a friend of mine's dad works with Ottawa and apparently the sens want Cutourier really bad.. they are even willing to trade up a spot or two to get him. I for one hope the sens do land Cutourier because I think he has the highest potential out of all the picks. Just my opinion. I have been pro Cutourier all year so I am not about to change now.

Bring on tomorrow :)

0 #317 TheTyrantWee 2011-06-23 19:36

Also IMO if anyone in the top five is going to slide I see it being Dougie Hamilton. Good player but he doesn't seem to have the upside of the top 5-7 forwards in the draft. If you want Lando cross your fingers that Devils/Islander s scouts have a weird hunch to play.

+1 #318 Floridasensfan 2011-06-23 19:37

[quote name="TKM18"][quote name="Mike Bauer"]

Wow, you obviously dont really know how good Schenn is going to be.

The problem with your argument with Schenn is that he no longer has free pass into a second line center role that he had in LA. Even without Richards and Carter, Schenn is going to be competing with Giroux and Briere. Schenn slides into a third line center role - he's going to get Hodgesoned.

The deal makes little sense for LA because now they have a thin prospect cupboard up front. The deal makes NO sense for Philly because they need D prospects to prepare for life without pronger and timonen.
Philly should have been pushing for someone like Hickey instead of Simmonds.

Philly will be drafting a D-man with the 8th pick - almost a lock

Disagree. The Sens saying the price is too high to move up the 6th right now means nothing. That price will come down if another team feels they can get their guy lower and add assets. It's all posturing right now.

I love how your readers actually believe Murray when he says they are staying put. I mean, in the end, they might but hes obviously going to say hes fine with staying put because he doesnt want to get fleeced and overpay.

Actually Philly can pick Hamilton @ 8 and be fine on defense. Cobourn, Meszaros, Carle are all coming into their prime. Pronger and Timonen will be around and effective for 2-3 years. Schenn can be moved to the wing; the C -> W transition is common enough for talented junior players with strong skating. This is a ballsy play to be sure, as both players leaving were great, but the Flyers now have high quality competition for places on scoring lines with JvR, Voracek, Leino (should he sign), *and* a top tier goaltender. They are a contender.

sounds like from what you are saying is the only way we could end up with RNH is we get Lando and RNH

I guess it is a pipe dream but we sure could use them both.

It is not unreasonable we trade with Philly for the 8th and fill their D needs is it.

0 #332 Johne 2011-06-23 19:55

I think if Murray picks 6th, he'll be out of breath from trying to trade up every pick along the way. The Avs are going to dictate how aggressive Murray gets if they take Larsson or Landeskog.

If they take Larsson, then its going to be a move up to grab Landeskog @ #3

But if they take Landeskog, I don't see Murray making a move up to grab anyone else unless someone else they're high on slides to #5. And even then they might just be content with 6th.

I can't wait.

+3 #333 karlssens 2011-06-23 20:00

I can't explain it but I just think that RNH is very over rated. He has bust written all over him. Landeskog will never be a 5 million dollar + player. He is literally going to be a Mike Fisher or Mike Richards at best. He dominates the OHL because he hit puberty when we was like 5 so he has already fully developed. Once he plays against other physically developed players in the NHL he will not be nearly as effective. Couturier has the highest ceiling for me because he has the highest goal - point ratio and is not even fully developed. If we grab him at 6 we should be thanking the hockey gods.

+2 #334 karlssens 2011-06-23 20:02

Also, RNH is an assist machine... he basically lives off of the powerplay because he is not a stand out player 5v5. In the NHL with better defensive zone coverage he will not be as productive. I see him as a 50-60 point player

The thing is, Landeskog didn't even dominate though. His points for a top 5 pick are incredibly low. Not worth a top 3 selection.

If he's left at sixth, by all means.

If Landeskog is anything like Mike Richards I'll pass. I don't like Mike Richards I think he's overrated..

The darkhorse is Ryan Strome.

+1 #337 Round Leaf 2011-06-23 20:13

@hambone

I hadn't thought about the Flyers' 8th pick, which I'm guessing will be Ryan Murphy. That said, they got that pick from the Carter deal, which more or less voids that argument.
Carle and Meszaros are serviceable D men, but they're point totals and +/- are inflated by Philly's top offense. They could still be in for a world of hurt if Cobourne is the only top 4 guy they have left in 4 years.

I think the Flyers got good return for both Carter and Richards. Its better to get rid of players to early then to late. They received 6 assets for 2 players, 4 of which (Vorecek, Schenn, Simmonds and 8th overall are going to be good NHLers. They also got rid of two really long contracts. That being said, they are taking a huge risk on Bryzgolov. That contract has buyout written all over it...

I can't say I'd be totally disappointed with Couturier. But, if Landeskog/Huber deau are gone (highly likely), I think I'd be much happier with the offensive upside of a Ryan Strone or Mika Zibanjad.

Couturier's size and overall game is interesting, but I'm a little wary of the bust factor. Probably not a fair accessment, just what my gut is telling me.

I've been thinking since the beginning that the SENS wanting to trade up is to pick HUBERDEAU and that's it - If they don't manage that it will be Strome or Zibanejad. Then they"ll try to move the 21st up + there will be a trade of a roster player or players for another first rounder. Oshie - lets not go crazy he's an alright player but not worth mortgaging the farm for.

Quoting New GM:

( Erik Karlsson"s brother )

i researched everywhere and i really dont think he is his brother, this is his brother http://www.eliteprospects. com/player.php?player=18131 pelle karlsson. however if you guys didnt know, there is another erik karlsson who also plays for frolunda he is draft eligible next year http://www.eliteprospects. com/player.php?player=33395 but if you go to eliteprospects. com and search for erik karlsson theres about 10 others born in the 90s..

@Chirp,

I know that the Sens, apparently, scoffed at Edmonton's suggestion of including Karlsson in any trade for the number 1 pick, but do you think there's any chance Cowen could be in play?
I'm not saying that's it's a good idea, just a question...Otta wa is deep in D prospects...

Could all of the Cameron bashing please stop. From BM - "I threw a bunch of names at (MacLean), but he picked the people," Murray said. "He had the opportunity to select the people that he wanted. Having played with Mark, that was a good one, and knowing Dave for a long time, when his name came up, he was very, very happy and willing to add him to the staff."

0 #374 oakster15 2011-06-24 07:54

what do you guys think the asking price for a guy like Oshie would be? 2nd round pick +?

Right, now if only Paul MacLean had been living in a bubble for the last several years and didn't know the relationship between Cameron and Melnyk. I'm not saying Melnyk called MacLean and told him to pick Cameron, but it's pretty obvious that a subtle hint of Murray throwing in Cameron's name was enough for MacLean to get the idea. At the end of the day I'm happy with MacLean as head coach, I'm just hoping having Cameron on there is not going to be a source of friction down the road when people view him as Melnyk's guy on the staff.

Spezza should just murder Eklund. Ekulnd seems like he has a homoerotic crush on Spezza with the amount of bullshit trade rumours this guy makes up about him....

0 #377 Patrick1 2011-06-24 08:18

@TKM18
Fair comment. I do think however that if MacLean didn't think it could work with Cameron he would have said so. The stache doesn't strike me as being timid. I'm an optimist and I think it will work - that's quite a set of assistants. Mark Reeds will be PM's go to guy given their lengthy relationship. He's also a proven winner and terrific coach. It will be hard to stay focussed today with trades and the draft tonight.

0 #378 Johne 2011-06-24 08:23

If Oshie can be had for anything less than the #6 pick, it'd be well worth it. He's no superstar, but he is a legit top 6 forward that we need.

0 #379 Johne 2011-06-24 08:30

I hope we see a domino effect of trades today from yesterday's fallout. Versteeg still might be on his way out of Philly and you know Hartnell is always in the rumor mill. With Weber, Parise, and Stamkos all still not inked, teams have to be calling nonstop.

0 #380 TKM18 2011-06-24 08:31

@Patrick

I agree for the most part, I'm not saying MacLean hates the guy (because I have no idea), maybe it's just an appearance thing. It doesn't look the greatest to me that's all. I'm not trying to say Cameron is a bad coach, either. To me it looks like hiring the boss' nephew for that summer intern job. Maybe the nephew was the most qualified person, but it certainly looks like he was hired because of the connection, whether he's the most qualified or not. But you're right about MacLean, he doesn't seem to be the kind of person that would take shit, at the same time this is his first head coaching job and he might be more prone to go along with it for now at least. Either way, I'm very happy with the current coaching staff and think it's a huge improvement over what they had last season.

Quoting oakster15:

I would guess it would somehow involve that plus something conditional for a signing. He would be our second line center and then Murray might want to try to grab a winger (aka Landeskog, or trade for a proven one).

0 #382 Andrews Theory 2011-06-24 08:42

not a chance would they give up the 6th pick for oshie. I'd burn murray at the stake.

With that said, he's a kid, I'd love to see them add at a reasonable price.

When you look at what Chicago accepted for Ladd and Buf. I think the 21st overall or ideally a second with condition of an additional 3rd shoudl get it done.

0 #383 Andrews Theory 2011-06-24 08:44

before everything went down with carter and richards, i thought versteeg might be the guy they moved but you gotta wonder if they'd hold on to him at this point.

he's another player i wouldn't be upset to see in ottawa on the second line.

0 #384 Andrews Theory 2011-06-24 08:45

i guess versteeg is more ideally suited to third line duties though...

Listening to the Tim Murray interview on the drive home yesterday I was very impressed. I was like F**K YEAH! We are in good hands people. Not afraid to make moves but not such an itchy trigger finger to make rash decisions either.

In the Murray's we trust!

0 #386 RUSHRLZ 2011-06-24 08:53

Wow that moron Dwayne made about 20 trade predictions yesterday. With such volumes one of these days he will get lucky and get something right.

Oh and these Smyth to Calgary rumors? WTF, as if Ryan would ever go the the arch-nemesis like that! I would be really disappointed.

0 #387 Ihatebettman 2011-06-24 09:00

Here's my take about Cameron; any coach that can bring their team to the finals must have some talent and can't be that bad of a coach. Regardless who hired him; I believe working with Maclean and Reed might be the experience that he needs to make that next step to become that elite assistant or head coach in the future. Similar to situation with Mike Babcock and Paul Maclean.

0 #388 Sensty 2011-06-24 09:09

Quiet start to the day.....waiting for the first pin to drop!!!!

0 #389 Kohlmanator 2011-06-24 09:11

I want to see Landeskog put on a Sens jersey tonight! B'Mur... Don't ruin my b-day.

As for Cameron's hiring, I have no issue with him being the coach, he is more than qualified and seems like a good person. The only issue surrounding this guy is how he was hired. If PM made the decision, great. If Melnyk stepped in - we have problems.
