Ottawa Senators: Team Report

After the Ottawa Senators are awarded the #1 overall pick in the 2006-07 entry draft and they lock up Sydney Crosby for 3 years, the teams focus should shift to goaltending.

Although they do have Dominic Hasek locked in for the new and improved salary of $2.28 million (down from 3 million) there are a couple of noteable unrestrieted free agent goaltenders that are available.

Nikolai Khabibulin (aka the Bulin Wall)
Chris Osgood (aka Ozzy)
Curtis Joseph (aka Cujo)

My feelings?

Khabibulin to me is the best choice. This guy is unbeateable when he's on his game. Sens fans still don't know what type of team will be playing in front of their goaltender, but Bryan Murray has said that he would emphasize offence and creativity.

Osgood is my second choice. He's won 2 cups and that's always key.

CUJO. I just listed him because he's a free agent. Personally his tainted in my eyes because he was a Leaf. The loosing is in his blood now. He couldn't pull it off in Toronto (given their defence sucked so they couldn't win unless he was standing on his head in nets) and he couldn't pull it off in Detroit. Does that tell you something?!?!?!

I'd like to see some comments on this posting. What do you think the Sens have to do to move to take the cup home to Ottawa?
Do you think Hasek is all we need?
Will the Sens get first pick?
Is Bryan Murray the right guy to lead Ottawa? I'm allowing anonymous posts, but show some balls and sign your name to your comments!

JC out!
