Mike Blunden just signed, anybody heard of him?

 This is amazing, his little brother Stephen plays in the Australian league for my home town team the Canberra Brave (yes Australia has a national league, and yes Canberra is a real place, it's the capital and has a lot in common with Ottawa). Stephen Blunden has been ripping the Australian league a new one for the last 2 years. Please don't laugh... ok, you can laugh, but he has 72 goals, 88 assists in... 53 games.

So Mike Hoffman has filed for arbitration again. What should Sens do? Accept the arbitration decision and keep him for one more year before he becomes a UFA? Try and sign him to a long term contract and then decide to keep him or trade him? Some of the contracts being give to similar players are a bit stupid. Do the Sens want to tie up a lot of money on a guy who, while he has obvious skills, doesn't show every night and tends to fade down the stretch. I just have a lot of questions about this guy. I guess I would say sign him to a long term contract at about 5 million and give him a year to prove he's worth it. If not, they should be able to dump him easy enough.

 

 Best bet:  hope for one of the last arbitration dates and continue to try and re-sign him until then.

I'm guessing they are close and will get something done.

I'd want him on a 4 year deal at slightly under $5m per (Nyquist comparable) but I expect it will end up a 5 year deal at $5.25m per (slightly less that R. Smith).  Backloaded of course like all the rest of the contracts as they keep kicking the debt can down the road.

Ceci, hopefully gets a 3 year bridge.  He'll will be an RFA at end and Methot will be coming off the books if he isn't claimed during the expansion draft.

Looks like Thomas Chabot got a reality check at the Sens development camp

Nick Paul on the other hand fared well winning hardest working player at camp.

what are you doing in your backyard Russell?

 I guess this explains why Homer never received his hockey pool prize. They must have fallen out the back of the UPS truck.

 what's a Sieloff????

 Good. Glad Chiasson is gone. He could be traded for thin air and I would still consider it a good deal.
