We continue our Season in Review with the Sens top four defensemen!

I would rather a better duo on the third line. Someone like zadorov.
Who cares what other fan bases think?
We need one more superstar
Defensemen come in pairs.
ZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUB
What about YAKEMCHUCK?
Boeser and Ehlers both have injury issues would love Ehlers for the speed since that's what the Sens need with scoring and he can not only keep up with Timmy but push the pace more than Timmy. I'm guessing Ehlers will get 9mil plus on a 7 year deal which I don't think the Sens can afford unfortunately otherwise it would be a great fit imo
Ideally to me you get Giroux at around Perron's cap hit within 500k either way unless G will take less. That then gives you the flexibility to move out Perron if 1 of these top free agents is willing to come to Ottawa and that's not far from the realistic price range Giroux should have 5.5mil is more his FA market value imo not his value if he wants to re sign in Ottawa
What about Sam Bennett ?
Please not Boeser. He's so slow.
Ehlers and boeser definitely not worth the cap hits their projected
Staios keep calling Boston til they give up pasta
Fairness has ZERO to do with this. You have to consider Giroux moving on. No sentimentality boys, we need to push for a Cup.
I don't see Steve going big game hunting. Although I didn't see the Cozens trade coming either lol They definately need another top 6 player but every team probably says the same thing. I love Timmy playing for Germany and getting even more experience.
I'd find out the health of Anthony Mantha
Jensen and a draft pick might get a Dopson or Karlsson
Keep Giroux, if he moves down in lineup so be it.
Keep Perron & Giroux until trade deadline. Let their play and the state of the team determine their fates.
Move Zetterberg up, let him cruise on 1st line, he has the talent.
No need for big signings. Let growth be internal. I would be open to a big trade at the trade deadline if required, but that's it.
When was the last time the Sens had a top 4 defense that most fans love and had no lightening rods (The small group of Chabby haters don't know what they're talking about)?? But Jenson didn't sound very positive in regards to his current injury so I'm curious to see what happens with him this summer.
How about the FLA trio, to reunite with Cousins and G? Imagine a line of Bennett, Cousins, Marchand.
Rumours are Jordan Kyrou from the blues is possibly available. Rumoured price: A 1st and a top level prospect. What do you think of that? Do you think they would take a 1st, a 3rd and zetterlund for him? This would preclude signing the Claude G. I'm ok with that.
It might be best to land a top 6 winger through trade. Batherson is on a value deal so he might get us a Kreider, but would that be much of an upgrade? Rossi might be available from the wild, but I think he prefers centre. Staios will do something I'm sure.
G May have slowed down but he sees the game so well he doesn't need to be fast. He is a playmaker and you can always count on him to give 100%. And he's healthy. Do not let him go. It's not the way this club operates! He has earned every penny of his contract! Let him retire a Senator.
Batherson is definitely the trade that Staios is looking at. After that playoff performance you have to think Staios believes trading bath on a friendly contract and adding some of that cap space should let him net a significant upgrade at wing.
I am an OTTAWA SENATOR FAN first, and a Giroux fan second.
The answer here is obvious…
Bennet would be an awesome addition !
Zetterlund plus a first for J.J Peterka and a second
Tkachuk Stutzle Zetterland
Perron Cozens Batherson
Greig Pinto Amadio
Cousins Gaudette Hodgson
I think that i'd prefer Boeser
If a guy like Ehlers shows any interest in coming to Ottawa, you offer him a massive contract and move on from G. I’m sorry, but at the end of the day (shout out Chabot), it’s a business. I LOVE Claude, and want him to stay, but we have to do what is best for the team. And a player of Ehlers’ calibre is something worth pursuing. Especially considering he has many more years ahead of him than Giroux does.
Imagine a world where we don’t have to worry about cap, and can assume everyone is interested in coming here? Imagine adding Ehlers AND Ekblad. lol I’m turning my PlayStation on right now….. 🎮
i wouldnt trade a bag of pucks for boeser,hes basically josh norris
