Put Pietrangelo on IR Sign D Justin Schultz Justin Schultz is still pending Waivers and may be claimed by any team to potentially become the next Forsling 2.0!!! Guys. I only have so many roster spots. I can't hold on to every single good D in the league because some of you inexplicably only want to carry 3. No worries though, the Ottawa D factory will keep churning em out. Use up those waivers boys. |

Use up those waivers boys. Rostering 4 defencemen isn't a necessity without having the hits/blocked shots categories, proven by myself winning the Cup last season with only 3. As good as The Ottawa D Factory is, the Vancouver Canucks still possess the most elite defensive core in the league. The Canucks own the undisputed #1 defenceman by a mile and currently roster 4 out of the Top 18. The Senators currently roster 4 out of the Top 19 (*not including a defenceman who is below some Waiver Wire players). Close, but no cigar! 😉🚬🤠 |

The Senators currently roster 4 out of the Top 19 (*not including a defenceman who is below some Waiver Wire players). Close, but no cigar! 😉🚬🤠 I feel that is a disingenuous argument. Your cup victory was almost entirely due to goaltending and not how many D you rostered. Your GAA for the year was 2.81 (6th) and your SV% was .911 (5th). During the playoffs you posted weeks of 1.63 GAA .938 SV% and 1.20 GAA .958 with 2 shutouts. Significant deviation from your yearly totals where you were squeaking out games. You routinely lost (3) or tied (6) matchups last season due to poor goaltending and/or offensive inconsistency that could have been avoided had you rostered another Dman instead of benching extra skaters or goalies you didn't have a spot for in your lineup. You can not consistently rely on your goalies to put up 2 shutouts a week to compensate for only having 3 Dmen. You were barely able to do it in the playoffs (with some luck at the goaltending position), how do you think a consolation bracket team might fair employing the same strategy? It's not a good long-term strategy, and it never will be a good long-term strategy. Also, if given the opportunity, 12 out of 12 teams in this league would take the Ottawa defensive unit over the Vancounver defensive unit. Yourself included. |

You were barely able to do it in the playoffs (with some luck at the goaltending position), how do you think a consolation bracket team might fair employing the same strategy? It's not a good long-term strategy, and it never will be a good long-term strategy. ☝️ This is the definition of a disingenuous argument. My Cup victory had absolutely nothing to do with goaltending in the Championship match-up. Had you awarded Nos - Sharks with all 4 goalie stats, I STILL would have beat him and hoisted the Cup. I also statistically had better goalie stats compared to Nos - Sharks during the regular season, you know...the GM who actually made it to the Finals, but that's beside the point. Point is, myself rostering 3 defencemen most certainly gave me advantageous forward/goalie starts. Even in the situations where I had to bench certain forwards/goalies, employing more of them gave me a greater variety of choices where I could strategically pick and choose the most favorable match-ups. Who knows, maybe if I rostered a 4th or 5th defenceman it could've potentially taken away some of my offensive categories and I could've lost? That's just playing the crystal ball game and we'll never know the true answer. 🔮 A "Consolation Bracket Team" most certainly shouldn't be employing the same strategies as a "Championship Bracket Team". The Vancouver Canucks can afford to roll with 3 defencemen because they are the best defensive tandem in the league (as factually proven earlier). I simply said it is not a necessity to carry more than 3 defencemen if your team is set up that way. Quite frankly, I'd probably still be rollin' 3-D but I just couldn't pass up the juiciness of a Gustav Forsling! I'd be more than happy to trade him however to another team, shoot me a PM! And for the record, I wouldn't trade Rasmus Dahlin for all 5 of your defencemen. That's not even an over exaggeration, that's just the truth of the matter. I'd decline that trade offer if you sent it "faster than McDavid can skate across the blue line" (😝). Also, if given the opportunity, 12 out of 12 teams in this league would take the Ottawa defensive unit over the Vancounver defensive unit. Yourself included. Only one way to find out, put it to a poll...I don't mind! 😁 PS. My annual Quinn Hughes inquiries will be coming to an end, as a fan, that guy has just become increasingly more frustrating to watch. |
