I love this. Sanderson is gonna be awesome, and Dorion knows it. 8M looks awesome in 3-4 years.

Sens are definitely gonna pack a punch on offense this season, with Tatar it would possibly contend for top in the Atlantic.

Thread: is this the best top 9 in the atlantic

I mean... on paper it's 8 guys with 20+ goals last year, and a guy who had 35 in 66 in his last full season. I have questions about the teams ability to support goaltending under DJ Smith, but on paper this team could go toe to toe against any team in the division

Replace Rielly with Chychrun in the Atlantic

Pelech too high, Hamilton and Werenski too low in the Metro

Pacific and Central seem good, although I’d swap Doughty and Andersson as well as Jones and Morrissey

Thread: Helping OTT

I'd like to think that Norris holds a touch higher value than Chytil. So wouldn't make that trade as is from Ottawas point of view.

Thread: Does adding tatar make this a top 3 team in the atlantic

This team is already 2nd in Atlantic in my eyes (would be 3rd behind Florida if Florida was fully healthy to start the season). Korpisalo proved he was the real deal last season, and is going to take this team to new heights over a depleted Boston, blue-line plagued Florida, and a Tampa team that went negative in the second half of last season. Acquiring Tatar should lock them in for a guaranteed second place finish over Florida.

Take another look at the Florida defense without Ekblad and Montour (both out long-term).

First of all, there's nothing wrong with spending 1.2 million on a fourth liner.

Second, Suter is many tiers ahead of Kelly.

He's healthy and it's better to have Sogaard developing and getting and maintaining confidence in the AHL. You can't put an unhealthy player on the LTIR.

Also Pius Suter is a vastly superior player than Parker Kelly and will elevate our PK and our depth.

I'm a Sharks fan so not a whole lot of Bias here. Their forward group is deeper than Toronto and their d-core is about twice as good.

Not sure why you think your team is all that much better than theirs. especially considering you're about to be losing all your best players to free agency in the next two years

Thread: Cup Contender

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gavinray</b></div><div>They are balanced lines. The third line should get equal playtime as the first. Norris was on pace for 68 points that season as a 22 year old. I think he gets 70 this year. Batherson put up 62 while playing injured and centered by a 35 point rookie. 70 points for him is pretty reasonable when he's reunited with Norris where he was almost point per game that year.

You guys advanced one round of the playoffs for the first time in like 20 years lmao
The sens have won like 10 rounds of playoff hockey and went to the conference finals in 2017.
We've been rebuilding for 5 years, and are now on the come up with a solid core signed long term, while your aging core splits up over the next few years</div></div>

You forgot the tremendous respect they got in the handshake line
