Sens need to bring back Carlson and Tarasenko. Pittsburgh and Detroit respectively would probably GIVE Ottawa a draft pick to take them off their books so it wouldn't cost Ottawa any assets going the other way and it would fill the two biggest needs the team has with a right handed D Man and a Top 6 forward. Cheers from Ottawa🍁
Bringing back Giroux, doesn’t make the team better.
There’s way too many middle 6 players on this team, why would you add another one who’s in his late 30s?
It does seem like too much money for someone who hasn't proven anything yet. That being said, I am curious to see what he can do with a full season with the Sens.
Giroux should be resigned.
Imagine if Montreal signed Giroux if we don’t give him a decent offer?
Thoughts on weger for chabot ?what would have to be added to make that deal happen ?
Sign Giroux , trade Peron. There is no replacement for Giroux in the dot
Steve made a mistake in teh trade and now he can't accept it.
4:10. It’s all young guys with big social media presence. It’s the exact same guys who were so big on Brannstrom and Logan Brown.
Giroux is a depth player , a veteran presence , a leader excellent face off man and has grit. He is a bargain for the Sens at 1 million . He will be gone after this year or traded to a contender if the Sens tank
