Quoting: Claesson4Norris
They're supposed to play hard and put young players in a position to succeed. They're not doing either right now
And further to that point, outside of the top line and Chabot, the Sens aren't playing a single player under the age of 24 on a regular basis since Jimmy got injured.
Tkachuk (20) - Norris (21) - Batherson (22)
Galchenyuk (26) - Stepan (30) - Dadonov (31)
Paul (25) - Tierney (26) - C. Brown (26)
Paquette (27) - Anisimov (32) - Watson (28)
Chabot (23) - Gudbranson (28)
Reilly (27) - Zaitsev (28)
Coburn (35) - J. Brown (26)
They're a rebuilding team and yet the average age of the bottom 9 is 28, and the D outside of Chabot is 29. The average age of the entire team is 27. There are 4 kids out of 18 players while 23 and 25 year olds sit on the bench (White, Wolanin), a 23 year old was waived and claimed (Balcers), 23, 24 and 25 year olds with potential are on the taxi squad (Chlapik, Jaros, Zub), and both a 21 year old and a 22 year old with enormous ceilings were sent to the AHL that has yet to start (Brännström, Brown).
