Poll: What Should the Sens Do?

It seems like everyone's got a different opinion on what the Sens shoudl be doing, so I thought I'd try and get a pulse on what everyone's opinion are via a poll.

The choices are:

Do Nothing - This is a good team, and all they need is time to get them out of this funk
Sit Players - Call guys up from the minors, and let any player that doesn't give 100% sit the next game to send the message.
Get Rid of Lalime - He's not getting it done. Go out and upgrade while he still has value. This option includes upgrading externally (i.e. Kolzig, etc.) or replacing him internally (Prusek or Emery)
Make a Trade - Trade one or more of our skaters to shake things up.
Fire Martin - Get rid of Martin. The players aren't responding anymore.
Other?

I think they should be making a trade. I think the timeframe for the players to work out the problem themselves has passed, and that something more drastic is needed.

Agreed, but only a minor trade. If it costs us a key player it risks messing up the chemistry. Lalime's value is in the playoffs, so I wouldn't want to trade him until after this season. Though I wonder if a deal involving Colorado could be worked out that could benefit both teams.

I wouldn't deal Lalime. He's been fantastic in the playoffs, something contenders like Philadelphia, Vancouver, Colorado, Dallas and to a lesser extent the Blues (Osgood lately) can't say right now.

The guys that would be potential replacements are Olaf Kolzig, Curtis Joseph or somebody from within basically. Prusek is a good goalie, but I'd rather give him a string of starts and see if he runs with it, before dealing Lalime. If we deal Lalime and cross our fingers that Emery or Prusek thrives, we are taking a major risk. Also, I'd say Joseph is a downgrade at this point, and Kolzig could be seen as a downgrade also.

As for the other options, there is no fire Martin option in the poll, and while I don't believe we should can him, the idea tossed around about putting him in the front office, and making Larry Robinson the coach, is a great idea if you ask me.

I voted for the make a trade option. But, also not a major one. Don't deal Rachunek, don't deal Havlat, don't deal Phillips. I'd love to deal Bonk for Jeff O'Neill, but that's just a proposal. White could be expendable, but he's not a throw-away type of player. I would like to never see Van allen again, even if I respect the guy. Meaning, if we can get something for Schastlivy, I wouldn't mind. I like the guy, but he's not doing enough to warrant ice time. Don't change the chemistry drastically, and don't make a panic move (like Havlat for Brind'amour or something), but rather the type of move that would be considered at any time, just looks more attractive now.

As for the other options, there is no fire Martin option in the poll.

Crap! That's an omission. I don't think I'm able to modify polls, so if you can do that as a moderator, that would be super!

Just delete this one and start a new one. You, Hossa and I can all vote again right away anyway.
