Erik Brannstrom was damn good his last 2 years in Ottawa Don’t let the old heads tell you otherwise

Michael Amadio (3x2.6m with Ottawa) is a good second-liner, finishes well, helps the penalty differential a fair bit.

Michael Amadio, signed 3x$2.6M by OTT, is a bottom six utility forward who's active in the defensive zone, gets chances in tight, and scores at a solid rate. #GoSensGo

Each move has different circumstances that can be defended but it’s crazy how little value (or lost picks) the Sens have gotten for: -Joseph -Chychrun -Tarasenko -DeBrincat -Zaitsev -Gustavsson -Murray -DeMelo -Stone just so many good players or good draft picks lost

*Veteran player breaks his NHL leading playoff-less streak only to lose in first round”

The Sens’ new management has made it clear that they value: - Veterans - Cup winning experience - Size - Accountable players - Hard work (Travis Green hire) I am excited to see if inserting these pieces rights the ship, but I’m also nervous about what we’ve given up.

If it is in fact under $4 million… the Sens’ have some money left over to target some impact pieces.

$3.75M AAV leaves approximately $2,000,000 for the Sens’ to sign another depth defensemen or depth forward (after factoring in two forwards on ELCs). Let’s see if Staios has one more move in him 👀

Remaining UFAs I’d love to see the Sens’ take a flyer on (and who would be willing to sign for around $2 M AAV) - Barrett Hayton - Adam Boqvist - Oliver Kylington - Nick Cousins - Kyle Okposo - Daniel Sprong - Kevin Lankinen

It's all about a strong top 9, 5 D, and a great tendy. Tkachuk. Stutzle. Giroux Norris. Pinto. Batherson Perron. Greig. Amadio Sanderson. Zub Chabot. Jensen Kleven Ullmark Forsberg

Ottawa being linked to Rutger McGroarty shouldn’t come as a shock as he encompasses exactly what the new Sens’ brass seems to covet. I love the player. Hardworking leader with an ability to score and play in all situations. Issue is, what do the Sens’ even have to give up?

Good luck to a beauty of a personality and an absolute legend. I can’t remember a Sens’ player who was so loved by fans while playing such few games.

Thank You! After 9 years of late nights, early mornings, missed holidays and family events while diligently updating the website and developing tools, the CapFriendly team has made the decision to begin a new chapter and challenge! We couldn’t be more thankful for the support

This is mind blowing to me. I’d seen Steven Stamkos in interviews recall goals he’d scored just by given the date and opponent. Wanted to see if he could still do it. 555 career goals later, he still has an insane memory. (No I did not give him a heads up on this Q)

This Robin Williams thread will brighten up your day 🧵 1. His improvised scene in Good Will Hunting made the cameraman laugh so hard the camera started shaking. Matt Damon's reaction is authentic.

Love it. Extremely well deserved Ian!

Ottawa’s scouting/development teams a decade ago were nothing short of impressive. Hopefully they can get back to this level.

The definitive Johnny Gaudreau forever young hockey moment. 12 years ago. He's 18 years old. Ices the 2012 NCAA Championship game. Comically quick feet, hands, and brain. His comp for me was always Allen Iverson--I covered both in college. Impossibly small and skinny (JG MIGHT be

Just somehow walked away from my 12 team dynasty fantasy hockey draft with: - Ivan Demidov (2nd overall) - Artyom Levshunov (6th overall) - Zayne Parekh (7th overall) - Zeev Buium (8th overall) Sold the farm to get the picks, but boy could this haul be fun in a couple years.
