1) Duchene: He's so fun to watch and a true #1 C. Such a big upgrade from Turris. Yeah it sucks that we lost next years 1st rnd pick, but whatever. GOTTA SIGN HIM.
2) Stone: Heart and soul of the team. For the Boys. Constantly leads the league in takeaways and was a point a game last year. Looked really good in camp. GIVE HIM THE "C" AND LOCK HIM DOWN.
3) Dzingle: So much speed. Needs to work on his hands. That being said, he keeps improving every year. Looks good with Duchene. GIVE HIM A CONTRACT.
4) Ryan: Significantly overpaid. But not your stereotypical overpaid player (Great speed, great hands, great physicality). He will help us get to the floor.
5) White: A good two-way prospect with good potential. Gotta start playing him more to see what he brings to the dinner table.
6) Tkachuk: I can't believe there was a time that I wasn't happy with this pick. Holy S***, I quickly fell in love with this guy. He's going to be like his brother (If not better). I am BIG Tkachuk GUY;
7) Tierney: Don't know much about him. He looked good in Camp. He'll slot in on the 2nd or 3rd line. Let's see what he brings.
8) Formenton: This guy is unreal!! Simmer (Broadcaster) compared him to Pacioretty with McDavid like speed. Hopefully they keep him out of the OHL. He does not belong there.
9) Boedker: Great speed, no hands. He will slot in on the 3rd line.
10) Pageau: Not bad. Works hard. Too bad he tore his Achilles doing lunges. Out for the year.
11) Smith: Not a very good hockey player. Overpaid. But the boys love him, he's great in the shower, and plays the game hard. So i guess he has a role here.
12) Pääjärvi: Not a bad 4th liner
13) Pyatt: Also a not a bad 4th liner. Will do anything the coach says.
14) McCormick: Definition of a plug. Does nothing good, and nothing bad. He'll get a lot of press box time.
15) Gaborik: He used to be good 20 years ago. Trade kinda worked out though. Got rid of Phaneuf to have Gaborik on LTIR.
16) MacArthur: Career is done. But, great guy. Hopefully they eventually give him a front office job.
Defense
1) Chabot: Literately the Sens best prospect. Won the Defensemen of the U20 WJC tournament 2 years ago. He'll be good for a very long time.
2) Ceci: Most frustrating player to watch play. Last year, he logged in way too many minutes and he got exposed for it. It's going to be the same story this year. That being said, since he's still an RFA for one more year, he'll get a cheap contract.
3) Wideman: Undersize, but skates well and is able to handle the puck. Also, does great post game interviews.
4) Lajois: I love surprises and he's the player who was the most surprising out of camp. He didn't have a spot on the team but somehow beat out Jaros and Wolanin. Can't wait to see this guy at the office.
5) Demelo: Honestly, not a big fan. He's a body that can eat up Time on Ice. Most likely wont make it past the trade deadline.
6) Borowiecki: Probably the worst 1-5 Defensemen in the league but is the guy you want on your team slotted at number 6. Skates well, kills penalties, hits hard, fights and will block shots with his face.
7) Harpur: A big body to plug in at 7. Can play defense sometimes. The only ice he'll see will be at practice.
Goalie
Anderson: Hopefully the one on and one off season thread continues (Up next = good season). That being said, needs to consider retiring soon.
Condon: Good back-up (playing less 25 games), Brutal Starter
Good quick analysis. As long as I am entertained while they suck, I'll be happy. Duchene and Chabot are fun to watch live. Their skating and puck skills are top notch above everyone else on that team. I'm hoping Duchene stays but I'm not so sure with how management is running things of late.

Exactly!
The last couple years, it has been slow boring 1-2-2 hockey. I think this year it's going to be very entertaining regardless of their record!
