In an apparent cost-cutting move (they were already at 23 players), the Senators have assigned the 6th overall pick from 2011 to their AHL affiliate.

We may debate the pros and cons of our owner's actions and motives, but at least we don't have to deal with this sort of sh!t.

 

I have no problem with it. I don't see the point in sending two forwards up to the press box on any given night (or two d-men, as I've mentioned earlier). Send one of them down to the AHL where he can play each night. At the same time, you bank a little extra cap space for the future. You never know how injuries and future trades are going to impact things.

 

Even if Ottawa is way below the cap, the extra space may come in very handy later in the year.

Well, management has come out and said that the player in question (Zibanejad) "let two players come into camp and take his job." So they're styling it as play-/merit-based.

Could you imagine the backlash if they actually came out and stated it was a cap management decision?

Lol they might as well. Zibanejad was the 23rd guy on the roster. I don't buy the someone took his job stuff. Of course it is Ottawa so I am mildly amused by them.

Man. Are things that far gone in Ottawa? I saw the CBS report say something about how the owner's finances are a mess and are affecting personnel decisions.

 

Seriously.

 

Give me the weirdly naive and meddlesome billionaire any day of the week.

The actress is actually from Vancouver, I believe. Also, Cobie Smulders is *such* a porn name. It's up there with Jorja Fox.

The top comment on TSN when I read the article there: "That's a lot of money to pay a lumberjack."

 

And I think it's an absurd contract.
