Disagree, Lafreniere played the first half of the season with better linemates than Jarvis did. Lafreniere and Kravtsov were given RW roles in the top six, until Lafreniere was scratched. Jarvis also had a FAR better postseason. To have them have comparable totals and Lafreniere get moved down the lineup is not a good look. Not to mention, Jarvis didn't always play with Aho, just as Lafreniere didn't always play with Chytil or Zibanejad, or even Trocheck. Jarvis had the better season, and here's a nice colorful chart that kind of proves the point.

No one is going to touch Joseph's contract. That leaves Kubalik and Brannstrom, but with every team knowing the cap hell the Sens are in, it leaves the organization backed into a hole. Kubalik's value isn't the greatest anyway. Brannstrom's has been falling since the second he got to Ottawa. Even if they could afford him, what are they going to do? His path into a top-six role is completely blocked.

This is either a really bad troll job, or you're incredibly anti-Canes

Needless to say that Ottawa has zero interest in this. They wouldn't trade Pinto for Chychrun and chose to give their 1st that was a non-playoffs first instead


A lot of misinformation here


You're the one who created this ACGM and you say this?

Nikishin's fall in the draft I cannot explain. It did not look like a good pick when it was made, I cannot tell you what happened, but it happened.

Would you rather have a player that's the same age, same in skill and contract status that has never played a playoff game, or a player that is the same in skill and contract status that has won the Stanley Cup, has a ton of postseason experience, and can help guide others through what it takes to win? That's why it's important.

Newhook next year will be interesting. he may have the defensive restraints lifted, but in a system like Montreal, I do expect him to be a lot freeer. I could see an offensive outburst instead. Maybe 50-55 points, more if he's on the top line with Suzuki and Caufield. Pinto had better linemates last season than he likely will again after Norris' injuries. I'm just not seeing how he has that kind of explosion.
