@justinghockey I know you’ve been complimentary of the Sens some. I’m sorry, my emotions are on a roller coaster right now lol. I’m getting swarmed with flyers fans who think simultaneously that Ottawa is blowing it up, and that they’ll trade 9th+25 yr old C for a 32 yr old D and 27 yr old wing
I am literally begging the #GoSensGo local media to not burden the current players with questions about that quitter anymore.
If the reports are true they’ve been exhausted by that for some time now. The story is played out and no one is clicking on your training camp quotes
@SensCentral I loved the Nordmark pick boys. It does worry me though. If Don Boyd picks skill over character the sun might not actually come up the following day
@KadriSens I guess in my mind if they are giving up on him for minimal/zero return it is a definitive failure. And if they try again it can become a success or be a failure. I will only criticize them doing the former. Not everyone thinks the same way and that’s okay
@AricoDX@Flyersguru@ADiMarco25 I think a late 1st, a 32 yr old expiring D that’s missed over 100 games the last 3 seasons, and scoring winger is actually a quite friendly cost to Philadelphia. It just doesn’t make sense from Ottawa’s end otherwise. I’m sorry that’s just reality. Maybe look at a Mctavish/Petey?
@KadriSens I would do it again. It was the correct approach just a year early. The likely outcome is what you are saying but that’s the disasters of groupthink. Always chasing their own tail with that position group
@KadriSens If you’re always going to give up on a guy because he hasn’t established himself by the exact moment he becomes waiver eligible then stop wasting draft capital and developmental resources on goalies. At some point you have to break the cycle. Believe in him and let him play
@Idontcurog@Flyersguru@ADiMarco25 I have yet to come across a flyers fan that can give me a reason why Steve Staios would actively make his team worse. This isn’t a distressed asset requesting a trade or an expiring contract. This is a prime age C who scores 20+ without PP1 time and is a 95th percentile defender
@Flyersguru@ADiMarco25 This is the guy you’re backing lmao
Ullmark played 28 reg season games and one hell of a playoff series after this comment.
Blind leading the deaf.
This and a made up lunch with employees??? Cmon man have some dignity
@Flyersguru@ADiMarco25 No, I’m a random guy on twitter with no sources. Same as you lol
Risto on his current deal is valued at a 2nd. With a sign and trade it’s a 1st. As for Pinto it would run you Risto, 21 and forester/Tippett.
I guess this a disappointed-off !
@Flyersguru@ADiMarco25 Anthony is a good kid. Works hard on the beat. Wouldn’t take Sens information from him tho. Been writing about Pinto for years yes, where has that gotten him?
Well I play backgammon with Briere’s grandmother in Gatineau on Tuesday’s. She says there’s no shot he gets a C from OTT
