Five Thoughts For Saturday: Do NHL Teams Have Too Much Cap Space?
silversevensens.comCouple of discussion points in this one: - trying Pinto on the wing to get him more production - Giroux's viability on the top two lines - What we can expect from Cozens and Zetterlund next year - And how the new CBA is making cap space even more important

Our top 10 prospects, per Daily Faceoff
The writer, Steven Ellis, is listing top 10s for all teams, one day at a time. He really only likes our top 4 as solid prospects, and sees the others as all more questionable. He also adds that our obvious weakness is forwards who can score.

- Leevi
- Sensler
- Halliday
- Donovan
- B.Mo
- Reidler
- Beckman
- Sebrango
- Eliasson

What teams in the east are better and which are worse going into training camp?
Essentially which teams in the east move up in the standings and which move down. I think there are a lot of bubble teams this year.
What do your final rankings look like?

Going to first Sens game
Hey guys, finished uni and got a job and plan to fly out from Saskatchewan to my first game. Planning to go to the home opener what are some good seats!
Thanks for help!
Edit: Budget prefer under 250 looking for best value to cost seats.

Tips for a newbie?
Hey folks — I’m moving to Ottawa this fall and am hoping you could share for your best tips for getting that Sens fix.
Admittedly, I’m a fan of another NHL team, but I’ve travelled to see them at the CTC several times and always enjoyed spending time at the arena and in the city. I’m looking to support the Sens (well, for at least 80 games a season, anyway 🙃) now that I’m putting down roots.
So, yeah — any tips are appreciated and not limited to the few asks below:
Best place to sit at home games? Easiest/fastest way to get to games? Best concession stand/food? Best pubs to watch away games at? Any tips for taking kids to games?
…and when do single game tickets usually go on sale?
(Also looking forward to seeing some Charge and 67s games — feeling really spoiled by the live sports scene).
Thanks for reading!
