This could be a really good team

Tkachuck - Norris - Batherson is the going to be one of the best lines in the NHL and if Batherson can regain his form then that line could push most of the offense on this team.
Stutzle - Pinto - Sokolov/Kuzmenko/Giroux would be the second line that could help support the offense. Stutzle and Pinto could rotate with draws depending on the matchup and it would be a pretty good two way line but also capable of having each member score 30+ goals. That is is everthing goes right
Formenton - Joseph - Brown would be a great two way line and Brown would be replaced by Greig and Joseph would move over and that line would become a tenacious fiesty third line that could do damage.
Kelly - Kastelic - Watson would be a big heavy almost goon like line where each player maybe gets 10 goals in a good year but is resposible defensively and creats offensive zone chances


Chabot - Brannstrom would be a unworldly pairing if Brannstrom breaks out cause Chabot would be the anchor but they also would both be able to jump up on the ice and Brannstrom would be feeding everyone. Kinda like having a fourth forward on the ice.
Sanderson - Zub Zub will help mentor Sanderson and will also be responsible for the inevitable growing pains of a young defensemen.
Holden - Hamonic Will be a solid pair on defense while also be capable of throwing around their weigh and Hamonic probably resigns at the end of the year for a cheaper contract and grows with the team.

Am I crazy for wanting to keep White? I just wish he was cheaper

The player is great. He's top of the team in CF%, SCF% and xGF%, he's consistently a positive value defensive player, and he's got skill. He's a good damn player, and he's one of the most purely likable guys they've had in years.

The problem is they paid him like he was going to develop into a 40-50 pt player, and he's just not that. And they've got so much money to dole out the next few seasons that the numbers really can't line up. I really wish they could just shave a mil off that AAV, because it's really gonna suck to say goodbye to Colin White.

Nah, I wish the the Sens could keep him. Like him a lot just is paid ~1.5 million more than he should be.

He had 41pts in his rookie year. But that’s mostly Mark Stone. Without stone he might have got 28-30
