Sujet: sens battle hard and choke in the third with 2 awful pens from the vets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>agree with pretty much all of this. not sure why wolanin is ever scratched, i thought he was supposed to be our 2LD this year if brannstrom isn’t getting a shot. coburn/reilly can trade 3LD/scratch. honestly don’t know why everyone loves stepan so much, they gave up a 2nd, gave him an A, and he hasn’t been impressive. i like your lines but would keep paul-tierney-c brown as the “3rd” line. stepan can play 4C between watson and galch/chlapik. white needs to be a regular. haley is worse than useless, literally watson or jbrown coulda fought beaulieu and then we wouldn’t have had a wasted roster spot. anisimov is every bit as bad as i feared and deserves to be a regular scratch. we have depth, if guys are playing bad they need to be replaced until something works, we’re somehow getting leads and it’s so annoying when the vets choke them (at least the young guys can blame it on inexperience and might learn something, this is just unacceptable for a vet)</div></div>

I would also be totally fine with Stepan playing 4C and keeping 13/71/28 together. I just think Tierney with Chlappie and Watson gives a bit more Offensive punch to the 4th line, which ultimately helps Chlappie make his case to stay in the lineup. Which i desperately want to happen.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>the fact that haley played a game when we had less than 9 injured players is a joke. were watson, gudbranson, paquette, and josh brown seriously not enough muscle to take on... nathan beaulieu? and like... adam lowry? who tf is scary on winnipeg :|

white playing 2 games to date when he should be a top 9 regular is a joke. anisimov may have had a good camp but he’s been garbage and i don’t like him. i like paquette but he’s been garbage and doesn’t deserve a permanent spot when we have this much depth and youth. chlapik should get a shot, logan brown should get a shot, white should be a fixture, haley should never play again. i haven’t hated the bottom 3 most of the time (reilly, wolanin, coburn, j brown) but none of them has been amazing either as far as i can tell. with this much depth and a taxi squad, zub should get a shot and brannstrom should get a shot. hell i wouldn’t hate seeing aspirot get a shot, just change something up, promote youth and accountability, don’t promote mean and old because you can. these guys were brought in to support the kids not to be used as an excuse to bench them. if dj smith won’t do it dorion needs to have a chat with him. this is a crucial year for us and the kids need to be developed properly, which nobody can do from the press box</div></div>

For real... Hell Nick Paul fought Nate Beaulieu last year lmao. And did better than Haley did too.

As far as the Defense, i think we've seen a significant enough gap between Coburn and Reilly and Wolanin, that there's basically no reason for him to be in the lineup if both of those guys are healthy. J.Brown has looked solid as the 3rd RHD, but he and Coburn just get shelled together. J.Bro can be a strong defender, but he needs someone who can exit the Zone.

As for Paquette, I think that experiment was coming to an end, even prior to the injury that took him out of the game. He played just 5:30 through two periods and didn't play in the 3rd, so he was on pace for like 8 minutes, which would be a huge cut from the 11-13 minutes he's been at so far this year. I expect Chlapik will draw in, and if Paquette misses any significant time, i have a feeling that will end up being a permanent replacement. I'm also guessing we aren't that far off of White being a regular in the lineup again.

Getting harder and harder for DJ Smith to blame these losses on "young mistakes", considering the average age of skaters was 27, and the best players Tonight were all 21-25 years old.

Stepan needs to wear this one. That penalty would get a Colin White/ Filip Chlapik/ Christian Wolanin benched, and it absolutely cost them this game. It's not entirely on him, but the vets DJ trusts the most ere consistently the guys who are losing winnable games.

The Michael Haley experiment was absolutely pointless. He had a fight that was a waste of time, and did nothing of value the rest of the night. Paquette got hurt at some point, which is honestly a blessing in disguise, as sh*tty as that sounds. Anisimov with another terrible effort, as per usual. Wolanin was one of their best players tonight, but had one notably bad play which will result in him being benched in favor of a 35 year old who makes way more mistakes and has none of the upside.

I think this team will get way better next game if they just swap Arty for White, and keeping Wolaninin the lineup.. Stützle will be back, so you roll with White with Jimmy and Daddy, and you keep Tierney-Stepan-C.Brown together. I liked that line all things considered. Hopefully Chlapik draws in for Paquette too.

Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Stützle-White-Dadonov
Tierney-Stepan-C.Brown
Paul-Chlapik-Watson

I really don't feel great about bumping Paul to the 4th line based on how well he's played, but White makes sense as the 2C at this point, and Paul shouldn't be above Timmy. You could try Paul as 2C, and a 4th line of Chlapik-White-Watson, or move Paul to 3LW and have a 4th line of Chlapik-Tierney-Watson. I like any of those options tbh.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Borocop</b></div><div>i just dont get what hes seen out of those vets to give them such a leash. Paquette has been our worst player and has been in every game, watson has had a marginal impact apart from 1 goal and tbh i forgot Micheal Haley was in the NHL until we signed him. The kids have been our best players in almost all situations but i dont see why we need 1 line that literally projects to be completely ineffective that's realistically going to play as much as the top line</div></div>

I don't understand what his vision is for this team. He doesn't trust the young guys to be on the ice in key situations, but he clearly trusts the Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson line to be responsible for 100% of the offense. He's leaving Dadonov out to dry, and sacrificing all bottom 9 offense to play all "his guys".

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMac66</b></div><div>I'm going to assume he saw some things last game he didn't like in those players he's scratching (At least I'm hoping this is the reason). They did get blown out, the score could've been worse. As long as it's not a consistent favouring of grinders over skill players. 1 game isn't a big concern for me</div></div>

White barely played, but he created probably the best chance they had all night, which Paquette missed on leading directly to a goal the other way.

I'm guessing they don't have any intention of winning tonight. Based on the clips I've seen the last couple days of guys like Guddy and Watson testing each other at practice, they're planning on Just firing a warning shot tonight. I'm guessing this will be the first game to beat in terms of total PIMS this season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>I really don't like giving up the 2022 1st either honestly, that draft seems loaded (Wright and Lambert in particular are fantastic). If White (floor as 3C imo, 2nd line upside), two former 1st round picks with some development under their belt, and a high 2nd doesn't get it done I don't know that I would want to add much more than like, Abramov and/or one or two of the rentals (Galchenyuk, Reilly, etc.)</div></div>

I probably won't be fully comfortable trading a 1st ever again after the last few years tbh. Until the Sens are a President's Trophy team at the deadline, there's always going to be risk.

That said, if you add Dubois, keep your 2021 1st, and get another year of growth from Tkachuk, Stützle, Norris, Batherson, Chabot, and add Brannstrom JBD and possibly Sanderson as full time Dmen next year they're probably good enough to not really have to worry about Wright or Lambert going the other way.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claebom</b></div><div>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).</div></div>

The fact that DJ Smith was using the "young mistakes" argument to cover for his band of 30 year olds costing them the first game is ridiculous.
