Dorion & DJ Smith ruined these kids development but because of their contracts, they are stuck with them. I still have faith.

Chychrun is on the trading block, either during the draft or 2024/2025 TDL. Need a Top 4 RHD that is the same age in return.

Ideally Forsberg goes on LTIR so that the Sens can have $9mill to spend. If not, he gets buried and you call up Sogaard as the 1B.

Hammonic hopefully gets shipped this 2023/2024 TDL if not bury him in the minors. I can't believe he was given a NMC wtf Dorion face palm.

Sens have too much dead cap attributed to buyouts. Eventually Pinto, Ridley are gonna need raises and you either have to re-sign Grioux or replace him. So no more buyouts!

Joseph has been rumored to be traded for so long now, but he's been playing awesome and as your prototype third liner.

Brannstrom also rumoured to be traded. Dude is a swiss army knife. Qualify and keep him.

Qualify Sogaard, Thompson, Kelly. Thompson #7 Defensman, Sogaard 1B, MacEwan #13 Forward.

Despite Pinto being great for 20 games, he is very lucky to be back in the league. He gets a bridge deal. And he should be very greatful for a bridge deal.

With the remaining $7.9 mill to spend, get some sandpaper. I know its not a great UFA class but there are some gritty wingers that you can get that can round out the roster.

In regards to the line up, spread the wealth out between all 4 lines. I know Ridley will eventually be a top 6 guy but Sens are better off being deep down the middle. Plus Kelly can play 4th line Centre if Grieg moves up the lineup.

There is so much garbage goaltending in this league that its not a bad idea to have the third scracted spot for a #3 goalie. And considering Korps is bipolar as a performer and Forsberg is made of glass. Mind as well.
