I'm late getting to this but yesterday afternoon, Ottawa's director of player personnel, Pierre Dorion, made an appearance on the Team 1200's Healthy Scratches. With the NHL Entry Draft less than two months away, Dorion shared his thoughts on the draft and a variety of Ottawa's prospects and players.
The following is a transcript of some of the memorable topics, as always my thoughts are in bold.
Q: How close are you to getting your final (scouting) list finalized?
A: Pretty close. Actually, today I printed all of our scouts’ lists. All the guys are coming in Thursday night and we’re going to start our scouting meetings on Friday, so I just wanted to have a brief look at what every one of our scouts seemed to think about the possible draftable prospects this year, and I think it looks pretty good.
I hope it looks good.
Q: For this Friday meeting, is this the first of many war room mentality meetings?
A: Yes, this is probably the final meeting or this is pr...

Senators’ negotiations with Erik Karlsson merit monitoring
Even over the course of a summer in which a new CBA will be negotiated, there’s little doubt that a relatively small pool of puck-moving defensemen who may test the open market—including Nashville’s Ryan Suter, Philadelphia’s Matt Carle, Florida’s Jay Garrison and a player whose playoff performance is significantly damaging his value in Washington’s Dennis Wideman—can...

Can the Maple Leafs Draw Hope From the Ottawa Senators?
The Ottawa Senators ended the 2010-11 season in 13th place in the Eastern Conference and 26th place overall in the NHL and looked to be on track for a painful rebuild. As they entered this past season they were picked by many analysts to be battling for the first overall pick, not the playoffs. Well Brian Murray, Eugene Melnyk and the rest of the Senators organization proved...
Richard Cloutier: The Daigle Awards
Yep, that's right. Remember Alexandre Daigle, the 1st overall pick in 1993, taken by the Ottawa Senators, who was a total bust? Daigle might not be the worst top pick ever (ummm, Brian Lawton might be worse) but he's close. He's bad enough to have a Hockeybuzz awards show named after him.
Why write this blog now? I was watching Ilya Bryzgalov a minute ago stink the...
