Stittler

@DLee075 Do you expect him to spend more than the team makes?

This is concerning coming from the owner. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

@DeuceDoucette Lol classic.

Not in love with this… dude sounds clueless as an analyst

@DonnyN63 @GraemeNichols @JeffMarek Buffalo has Dahlin, Byram, Samuelsson and Power as left handed d men.

@GraemeNichols @JeffMarek If you could get Ekblad in free agency would you consider trading Chabot for JJ Paterka?

Here's my latest for THN looking at @JeffMarek's discussions on Jason Robertson and the convenient timing of reports that the Sens are listening on Drake Batherson.

@TSN1200 What a league lol. Is there a limit to how many they can take each round from each team?....

Maschmeyer to Vancouver and now Serdachney to Seattle. Ottawa will be able to protect a 4th player now before it loses 2 additional players

@dumoulin_nick He was terrible at trading. It's not how to build a small market team.

Hearing Dorion say that the only way to upgrade the team was to trade for players, since free agents rarely want to sign here confirms what we already know but it sucks that the #Sens have that extra layer of difficulty that most teams don’t have to deal with. This particularly sucks when you realize the #Sens don’t have many enticing trade pieces or even much of a prospect/pick pool to begin with. You really need a lot of creativity and willingness to take chances if you’re going to make this team any better. I have to respect PD for it, at least he took chances and tried. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t expect any big FA signings this off-season.

@Banx_Leaf So everyone is gonna take a deal to go play in the worst atmosphere in the playoffs. A fanbase that boos their team in game 5 of a series tied 2 to 2 when a game is 3-0 in the second period. A place where marner was harassed. Lol you guys are the reason players don't like T.O

500k under the cap. -Marchand is 8Mx3 but the 4th year brings it to 6 (Tavares similar type contract) -Bridged Knies (believe 3 years would be 5M fyi) -Mangiapane Toronto guy who played years for Tre -Kane signed identical deal to last year -Cowan could be any 1.5M player

@heatdaddy69420 No need to win and another final

Are the Florida panthers a confirmed dynasty at this point?

@Jay_D_Rosehill Should let them both walk and trade reilly. Thats the change they need

Let Marner walk. Sign Tavares for half. Open up 16-17 million and go shopping. Is this enough to make significant change to the team’s DNA?

@dumoulin_nick Cap going up and Tavares money coming off the books too. They're gonna end up a better team. Marner is a ghost in the playoffs.

I’m going to very much enjoy seeing the leafs lose Marner for absolutely nothing only for them to replace him with a 9M$ cap hit for Knies and a depth defensemen

@eLiaminators @senstalk_ You dont know that you weren't in the room. He took over a terrible team, he got them to play hard for one another. Eventually the message wears thin. Dorion and Melnyk were the problem. Not DJ.

@Stittler @senstalk_ Never said that he didn't have an easy job but that doesn't make him a good coach. He doesn't hold his players accountable for anything and has no structure to the way his team plays he's a bad coach sorry

Happy to hear it. Good for DJ Smith.

@TSN1200 In what universe does Bennett get the least amount of money?

At the projected contracts, which UFA interests you the most for Ottawa?

@eLiaminators @senstalk_ Imagine blaming DJ smith and not Dorion/Melnyk.

@senstalk_ Hopefully it's with an Eastern team then there's 1 less team competing for the playoffs every year

@SteveWarneMedia They scored 6 goals off of bodies and opponents sticks against ottawa. Not a peep. The craziest part is leaf fans complain about them.... The fragility of the egos is second to none. Listening to simpson cry about when Nosek took the leaf player to the net and fell into it.. sad

The panel bemoaning that it was a totally lucky bounce off of Rielly that won it for Florida. No mention of the totally lucky bounce that Rielly benefitted from to tie it

@KadriSens He knows they are only going to ask him about hockey. Which shows what kinda good guy he is by going on and giving the fans what they wanted without the irrelevant b.s.

Kinda surprised to see Drake doing this after declining to speak to the media last week. Should be a fun listen nonetheless

@senstalk_ It's the 2nd round of the playoffs.

I’m not convinced Giroux is going anywhere but the longer he remains unsigned the more rumours such as this are going to pick up… do your thing steady Steve Staios. #Sens

@mattmurley19 @spittinchiclets @GameNotesBud If the Islanders want hagens they'll just trade down.

$EBR Early Draft Prediction 1. NYI - Hagens 2. SJ - Schaefer 3. CHI - Misa 4. UTH -Frondell 5. NSH - Eklund @spittinchiclets @GameNotesBud

@lucaturano10 @Creech__ Consistently bad takes stay Consistently.

@Creech__ how was he good? he put together a terrible team in belleville

Sens lose a really sharp guy in Ryan Bowness. He’s got a bright future in an NHL front office. Bones and his family loved being in Ottawa

@rachaiello @MarkJCarney @realDonaldTrump Until you foreclose because you cant pay your mortgage because all your jobs are gone.

To his face, PM @MarkJCarney tells @realDonaldTrump: "As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale." Trump: "That's true." PM: "Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign... it's not for sale. Won't be for sale, ever."

Going to get a ton of hate for this but whatever. Image #1 - puck is on Bennett's stick, notice the time on the video. By image #3 Bennett is PAST Stolarz already. If you think Bennett went from thinking about the puck on his stick to "Let's injure Stolarz" in less than a second, then you are just letting your hate for the man rule your brain. Does he make contact, yes. It's absurd to think this was intentional however. The only reason Stoli is even there is because less than a second ago Bennett had his stick on the puck. Hate the Panthers all you want, but use your brains, exactly what is Bennett supposed to do here when he is allowed to be just outside of the crease, and Stolarz comes out to meet him and sticks his head outside the crease? Exactly what is Bennett supposed to do in that less than one second time? I hate that Stoli got hurt obviously, even if we don't know if the slapshot had anything to do with it, but framing this as intentional is just silly. And for any of you Leaf fans who about to call me some uneducated new Panthers fan homer, probably best to do your research before launching that insult. If nothing else I call it as I see it, sometimes more to my own teams detriment than anything.

@dumoulin_nick @JacobBillingt10 He wasn't cost controlled he was a UFA. Ottawa doesn't have 9 million to give him. Anyone that follows the team knows this. RHD is the most scarce position in hockey. You know who was cost controlled because he had term was Jensen the player they traded for.

@JacobBillingt10 I mean yeah fair but it cost us a 26yr old cost controlled all-star defensemen lol, a 34yr old 3rd pairing defensemen who has a bad year shouldn’t have cost that much to acquire. Just felt like they were rushing to trade Chychrun more than anything

The Chychrun trade was a disaster. I love Jensen and love what he’s done for Chabot but Chychrun is a 9M$ defensemen who finished 16th in scoring this year. I get that he wasn’t a fit here but damn, we should have gotten a lot more than we did. He was under team control too, there was no rush to trade him.
