Ottawa is solid, think they get 5th in the division and just miss
They need to stay healthy. Out of Stutzles 250ish games played the trio of Norris stutzle and pinto have only played together I believe under 40 times and have a great record when they’re all playing. If they stay healthy they’re a playoff team
lol Grieg, Amadeo, Perron and C??? May be one of the best 3Rd lines in hockey this year!!! 4th line with Cousins, Ostapchuk , Gregor or Crookshank may surprise a few, at least a C for that trio!!!
Josh Norris should be a B ranking at worst no? What does P mean?
Ottawa gets in via the last wildcard spot, 5 atlantic teams go through!
Ottawa is a significantly better team than last year. Staios and Andlaur have been insanely productive without being too reckless. I have very high expectations
Pinto way underrated, based on time played. He missed a season and a half due to shoulder injury and suspension, shoulder seems to be fine and played a good second half of last season.
I’m most concerned about Norris and if he can play most of a full season. Out twice with major shoulder surgery.
Respectfully, the rebuild was not meant to end 6 years ago. It started 6/7 years ago. Lots of people forget the sens went to ECF game 7 2OT in 2017 against the pens.
Kleven and JBD won’t be the bottom pair. JBD will play with Chabot. Kleven will play with Jensen. If they struggle during games, they’ll be benched and their respective D above them will be double shifted. Chabot just needs to stay healthy.
I agree with your assessments. Definitely questions but I think injuries will be the biggest factor determining playoffs for the Sens.
Pinto needs to be at a B, B- for sure
Chabot had wrist surgery this summer, apparently his wrist had been bothering him for the last two years. Hoping that means hes stronger on the puck. I can see him having a good year. I also think Pinto brings alot to the table, hes a true two way centerman, and ottawa hasnt had a true two way center for a long time. He spent some time with Batherson this summer training with Crosby and MacKinnon. Hamonic also had surgery this summer im pretty sure, I could see the third pairing being a split between JBD and Hamonic playing with Kleven. Guenette could also push for a spot as well. And as for Ullmark, you clearly didn't look too close at his career, he played very well in Buffalo with a much worse defense. Everyone says how Boston was so good defensively but Ottawa and Boston actually had similar defensive metrics last season.
Thank you!!! Chabot is the man. Doesn’t get nearly enough love! Whatch him dominate this season! Let’s go Chabby!
If you have followed the Senators for as long as I have witches from the start then. Your rankings are underrated. Pinto is a strong third line center not Fringe these C's and B's. You're not doing these players any justice. They're better than your rankings
