Just trying something different, so dont waste your study time on them. I am pretty sure we are going to go with 1 extra center, right wing, left wing and maybe an extra d-man. It isnt carved in stone and we can discuss all that stuff before the draft on Sunday.<br /><br />RyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-70930325075380977042009-09-21T14:07:21.253-04:002009-09-21T14:07:21.253-04:00To the Master:

A definite asset versus the goon squads - look for bouts with Orr, Cote, Carcillo. He looks like a rock, and seemed to have leadership qualities - just watching how he was with the others at Sens Fest open practice on Saturday. <br /><br />But maybe he is too slow to last long - like Smith. I'd say #7 D or swing guy.<br /><br />It is too bad about Schub, but he has peaked, and has gotten the short end of the stick. He does make the odd gaff too - not as bad as Kravchuk used to, but he's the closest.<br /><br />There will likely be a 23 man roster by opening night (not 20,21 or 22) that will fit the cap and I'm betting ...<br /><br />Michalek, Spezza, Alfredsson<br />Cheechoo, Shannon, Kovalev<br />Foligno, Regin, Fisher<br />Ruutu, Kelly, Neil<br />Winchester<br /><br />Kuba, Karlsson<br />Phillips, Volchenkov<br />Picard, Campoli<br />Carkner, Lee<br /><br />Leclaire<br />Elliot<br /><br />That means waiving or trading Donovan and Schubert.<br /><br />Winchester could be moved as well or instead of Donovan. <br /><br />I don't like it, #10 is a solid reliable performer, but you can't drop Ruutu or Neil, so WTF do you do?Master Of Puppetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969209650012253802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-40272766438433355162009-09-20T23:48:31.056-04:002009-09-20T23:48:31.056-04:00anon @ 11:09pm (KJ)

Sure, the guy can fight, but he's a soon to be 29 year old career minor-leaguer with a total of 2 NHL games of experience. It's a waste of a roster space when you have a bunch of younger defensemen to develop.<br /><br />Why take ice time away from Lee, Karlsson, Campoli, or Picard to make room for Carkner. He may spank a few guys for entertainment, but he has no upside. <br /><br />This is a typical Bryan Murray acquisition. Carkner will do anything to make the team but has limited talent. Now, we'll start hearing about how he's really good in the room, a great character guy, and how he really wants to be here. And he's local.<br /><br />Can he play defense or score? Of course not, but that will be blamed on the skilled forwards for not back-checking or not feeding him good enough passes.<br /><br />If this happens, it'll be like the Martin Gerber saga of defensemen.<br /><br />I say bring him up from the minors when we play the Leafs or any other goon-like team. He'll be a liability against most other teams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-20270963948202448122009-09-20T23:09:20.120-04:002009-09-20T23:09:20.120-04:00Carkner is going to make the team.

Carkner is a much better player than McGrattan was, and is way better than Yablonski.<br /><br />Fisher was awesome Saturday night, and so was Kovalev, and special nods for Regin, Foligno, Karlsson, and Leclaire.<br /><br />Hoffman looked alright too, but he is going to get another year in Juniors as an over-ager.<br /><br /><br />BTW, just bought my season tickets. <br /><br />Go Sens Go!!<br /><br />KJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-73753948096780952002009-09-20T15:33:27.283-04:002009-09-20T15:33:27.283-04:00Two ways aren't fair!

Bad timing for Brian.<br /><br />If these "Free way" Forwards, our coaches cannot see Picard (with his one way NHL contract)and how well he fits based with anyone based on his superb positional play.

The guy has shown flashes of being so smooth. He hasn't even been given a chance.<br /><br />I'm really starting to hate this era of managers who seem to care more about their acquisitions than what is right for the team.<br /><br />As far as Carkner, I thought we went that road last year with Jason Smith. He was tough, but the team suffered due to his lack of mobility. We need four guys who can move the puck back there. Philly and Volch are the shutdown pair. Everyone else has to get the puck to Spezz, Alfie, and Kovy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-15400599692234952442009-09-20T12:45:03.002-04:002009-09-20T12:45:03.002-04:00Pete:

He's stronger than Campoli and Picard, I would argue, but might be a victim of his two-way contract--again. Next year, though, with him, Campoli, and Picard all unrestricted, I'd guess Lee would be the one to come back. He's not the puck-mover, as most have cast him as since he was drafted, but he could very well be a number four, shutdown defender.Peter Raaymakershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883553886241429786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-84883239662704711822009-09-20T10:12:26.322-04:002009-09-20T10:12:26.322-04:00Is that you again Phil?

While not the toughest player, he's not afraid to hit or use his size to his advantage. <br /><br />I really want to see Regin make this team. I also love the Foligno-Regin-Fisher line (Mike insists he's a centre, but he gets shifted to the wing and scores a hat trick, come on Mike and Cory, smarten up and keep Fish on the wing). <br /><br />The one issue there, is it leaves another centre spot open, most likely with Cheechoo and Kovalev. Kelly could be a defensive presence to anchor Cheech and L'Artiste (who are inept in their own zone). Shannon played there tonight, but while an effective player, his size is a huge detriment to him playing pivot.GelatinousMutantCoconuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219712347641234862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-81605514075230084282009-09-20T00:52:39.310-04:002009-09-20T00:52:39.310-04:00Just another post proving why I love this blog.
