Just thinking about how we spent all summer debating who among the Red Wings, Senators or Sabres would make the playoffs this season and the answer ended up being "none of the above."
Norris undergoes shoulder surgery, again. Done for the season. He has played 58 of the 144 games the team has played since signing his contract. ALBATROSS!!
Saw this on Twitter guess which team this person is talking about
“I’m trying to be optimistic for the future but as of right now it’s very hard to be.
Bad contracts
Underperforming core
One of the worst prospect pools in the league
No cap space
Lost a future 1st round pick for nothing
Injuries
Hard time signing free agents
Two worst goalies in the league statistically signed on for another season + more
Rookie GM
New head coach
Owner who hires his friends”
Besides, a third round pick from Florida, which is one of the best teams in the NHL is almost a fourth round pick. It does nothing.
This is all on the previous GM, he left this GM, no other choice. I just read where Tarasenko wasn’t going to drop his no trade, unless it was to Florida, where he lives. The Florida GM is not an idiot like the previous GM that was in Ottawa and this is all they were gonna get, it stinks, but he did the best he could
I agree with you but I am getting sick of the excuses.
"We had no choice..." "Our hands were tied..." "It was the best we could get..."

With Norris gone for what seems like another long term shoulder injury, trading tarasenko may not be the best idea anymore. Even if Norris is ready to go next season, I don't think its wise to ever count on him lasting a full season again, and you'll likely be looking for a scoring winger. Which is, afterall, kinda what Tarasenko is.
Just spitballin' here.
You did it again.
Jesus, what a garbage return. They need players now, not mid round picks.
I guess this was the best that was available, which sucks. Still cleaning up dorion's mess.
Garbage return is right they should’ve just held onto him for a third round and may be a fourth or third round pick later in 2026. This is a garbage return. It does nothing to move anything along the third round pick in the NHL usually turns into nothing. I still believe that this ownership group with this stupid idea that we’re gonna just let things roll with the idiot that was running everything, It’s just put them even further behind.
