How would you rank the Sens so far? Here's my rankings:
Regular Forwards:
1 - Bobby Ryan - puts up points at even-strength with considerably less ice time than most of out other top-6 forwards. Also hits a lot for someone who "lacks intensity".
2 - Kyle Turris - easily our most consistent center, usually matched to the toughest assignments.
3 - Jason Spezza - it's Spezza. The skill is there. Problem has been chemistry/compete level.
4 - Clarke MacArthur - definitely a blessing, looks like a perfect fit both for him and for the team. Plays with heart.
5 - Mika Zibanejad - still only 20 years old, very decent sophomore year, especially considering how it started.
6 - Zack Smith - easily our most underrated forward. Could have better playmaking skills for a center.
7 - Milan Michalek - starting to pick it up, but definitely a disappointing season.
8 - Chris Neil - it's Neil. What you see is what you get.
9 - Colin Greening - plays hard and fast, but can't seem to score.
10 - Ales Hemsky - put up very lackluster numbers for Edmonton so far. Hope he can turn it around in Ottawa.
11 - Erik Condra - please trade. Can't score, can't hit.
Call-Up Forwards:
1 - Mark Stone - definitely promising, but needs to be more responsible without the puck.
2 - Stephane Da Costa - plays with poise, needs better playmaking skills to justify his position.
3 - Derek Grant - 20 games, 0 goals, 2 assists.
4 - Jean-Gabriel Pageau - 21 games, 2 goals, 0 assists.
5 - Mike Hoffman - If only he could translate his AHL success into the NHL...
6 - Matt Kassian - Why is he a Senator?
Regular Defencemen:
1 - Erik Karlsson - best player on the team.
2 - Marc Methot - still solid.
3 - Jared Cowen - not as bad as we give him credit for, considering his age. Needs to make smarter plays though.
4 - Eric Gryba - finally getting a decent, and deserved, look.
5 - Cody Ceci - OK for a rookie. Needs to use his body more.
6 - Patrick Wiercioch - scored less at even-strength than Ceci, with 11 more games.
7 - Chris Phillips - no offense at all. Hockey IQ is dwindling if not completely gone.
Call-Up Defencemen:
1 - Mark Borowiecki - one dimensional (hitting).
