Batherson won't ever play center in the NHL. I'd be very surprised
Also, forget Erik Brannstrom on RD. Dorion and others have stated that they don't like him on that side.
As of right now, lines are more like this :
Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Stutzle-Pinto/White-Brown
Paul-White/Pinto-Formenton
Crookshank/Kelly-Tierney-Watson
No idea what will happen with Logan Brown
Quoting: Alfie11
If we force White to play 2C or 3C I wouldn’t hate bringing back Ryan for 3RW though, that would be nice
Too late. The move would have been to NOT buy out Ryan and NOT sign Dadonov to 3 years. Ryan only had 2 years left and is a much better playmaker than Dadonov. I would even say, a much better overall player when healthy (which has a been a struggle for years). I was saying all this at the beginning of last season as I saw right away that Dadonov wouldn't really work out in Ottawa
Also, I don't know them personally but apparently Ryan is a great guy to be around, everyone loves him. Would have been a great mentor for young players, with all the things he went through
Now the Sens have to pay for Ryan's buyout, which is $1,833,333 for the next 3 seasons
