2012/2013 Ottawa Senators Offseason Thread

[LittleOzzy]

What is needed, a complete rebuild or should the Sens try and push deeper into the playoffs next season?

[BigSlam]

Trade for Nash
(Michalek, Lehner and our 2012 1st round pick)

Sign Zack Parise

Look to trade:
Condra
Butler
and which ever rotational youngs we identify as being on the outer (eg: Stone or Daugavins or Klinkhammer or Winchester) in a package try and get back into the 1st round in 2012

2012 draft:
Cody Ceci
Griffin Reinhart

Parise - Spezza - Nash
Foligno - Turris - Silfverberg (or Alfredson if he wants to stick around for 1 more year)
Greening - Smith - Zibanejad (or Stone or Daugavins or Klinkhammer - basically a rotational young)
Filatov (or Puempel) - O'Brien (or DaCosta or Winchester or Kanopka) - Neil

Karlsson - Cowen
Gonchar - Phillips
Carkner - Ceci (or Reinhart or Wiercioch (or Gryba or Borowiecki)

Anderson
Bishop

Aim for the 2013 finals and beyond.

-Hearing Kuba,Gilroy and Carkner won't be back, we'll need a defenceman or two from free agency.

-Alfie is on vacation in Sweden, most likely makes his decision by end of July-August.

-Nash trade is a possibility but theres reports that he wouldn't waive his no trade clause to play in Ottawa.

Foligno dealt straight up for Marc Methot. Adds some depth for you guys on the back end, but i'm not sure I like the deal all that much.

I didn't like Foligno all that much and I think Columbus still wins this deal. At least the Sens make room for some prospects next season in the top 6 forwards.

We needed a defenceman badly after Kuba signed 2 years in Florida, Carkner 3 years for the Isles and Justin Schultz was almost signed but chose Edmonton instead.

Alfredsson coming back for another season, good to hear!
