Would be a very on brand pick for the Sens if he’s the guy lol.

I’d much rather they go for a skilled forward with the pick.

[JB Mills @JordanMllls]

Steve points out the Sens bringing up college players and a strong Dmen class

A guy that fits those two criteria, could be available at 32 and fits the Sens mold is Sokolovskii

6’8 LHD ranked anywhere from 20-50. Didn’t produce much for London, and is going the NCAA route

Lmao this game is nuts

[EightyFourAndZero @84and0]

Can you build a team that goes 84-0? Play https://t.co/IAu4W0X1GJ

[JB Mills @JordanMllls]

Love Nik Ehlers scoring the first goal of the finals.

[JB Mills @JordanMllls]

Every time I watch a Habs game it seems like they get kicked up and down the ice, but they end up winning anyway while getting doubled up on shots lol.

[JB Mills @JordanMllls]

@politicstcan Great stuff!

I assume the players in bold are realistic targets, italics are long shots, and standard font is no chance lol?

RESULTS (thread below)

On the left, results of a regression model of key stats for what the Sens would be looking for with all non full-time centres.

Then, a "perfect winger match" taking microstats, playstyle, and age/contract into account for players I think may be available

[JB Mills @JordanMllls]

Poor Canucks lol. Leafs have been bad for 1 year and immediately get 1st overall

[JB Mills @JordanMllls]

Really don’t see the need for Ristolainen. Only way I see a fit is if the plan is to move out one of Spence/Zub.

Zub I can see an argument for (1year left, age, injuries) and he could fetch you some good assets, but moving out Spence would be idiotic.

[NHL Rumour Report @NHLRumourReport]

Darren Dreger: Re Senators: I know that Steve Staios was fairly down the road in negotiations in acquiring Rasmus Ristolainen at the trade deadline; that's a pretty clear indication of what...Ottawa were trying to acquire, like a proven defenseman - Ray & Dregs (4/27)

[JB Mills @JordanMllls]

@politicstcan Just Green having favourites I suppose lol.

Sens have so many middle6 options it’s just nuts he rarely made adjustments over the year.

If other skaters had Zetterlund leash/usage people would see how much it affects production. Why you can’t/shouldn’t look at raw countin stats

[JB Mills @JordanMllls]

I’d personally re-sign:

Giroux, Cousins, Thomson and Spence from the NHL roster. Clarke, Halliday, Bourgault, Boucher, Kaliyev, Toure and Meriläinen for AHL depth + potential NHL spots.

The rest could walk.

@iCuhRupt First punch happens all the time during scrums. Plenty of guys are 3rd man in and throw that extra shot. It’s not right but acting like it’s uniquely dirty is disingenuous.

The 2nd punch is all the anyone cares about and is why he’s getting a hearing.

[JB Mills @JordanMllls]

Seeing this again and Greig should get a suspension for this. But those saying he threw multiple punches at a vulnerable player are just lying.

Just nuts that this play is viewed as worse than any other play from the series. Kinda seems like people just really don’t like Greig.

[NHL News @PuckReportNHL]

#GoSensGo F Ridly Greig will have a hearing for roughing #SoundTheSiren D Sean Walker (beginning of clip). Date and time TBD.

[JB Mills @JordanMllls]

Like is this punch worse than Svechnikov throwing multiple punches into the back of Kleven’s head/neck? Probably not, but since he got a penalty for it isn’t brought up.

[JB Mills @JordanMllls]

Greig deserves some form of punishment for the punch, but I find it wild how so many people have gravitated towards this play as the greasiest play in hockey history.

Feels like there are plenty of examples of 3rd guys in throwing punches/headlocks that never get this attention.

[NHL Player Safety @NHLPlayerSafety]

Ottawa’s Ridly Greig will have a hearing for roughing Carolina’s Sean Walker. Date and time TBD.

[JB Mills @JordanMllls]

Underrated part about the Kleven hit was the Sens somehow failed to score on a mini 3on1 in front of the net lol. Anytime I see a highlight of the hit that’s all I’m noticing.

[Shayna @shaynagoldman_]

Senators with 5 goals in four games... xG was around 14, per @NatStatTrick. Andersen is a big reason why, but also many missed shots + unfinished chances really came back to bite them. They really needed more scoring from the top of the lineup.
