With the emergence of the "kids" and the team as a whole its hard to miss anyone that left us. It's too fun to watch the team play hockey right now to miss anything.
I wish him well where ever he plays, but no, I do not miss him in the slightest. I barely recall him playing for our team, after the crazy season we've had and the kick ass draft with Zibanejad scoring the winning WJC goal. Just been too good a season for Senators folks to even make have a recollection.
He is a bow hunter like me, which I think is cool.

I remember when he was traded and I felt like ____ for the next few days because of it he was a fav player of mine....but I guess that was short-lived. Not a good enough player to leave a mark ALA Alfie I guess.

Reason: I mispelt Alfie...
He was always a frustrating player to watch for me so I was pretty happy when he was traded and I'm really not missing him at all now. Having said that, I wish nothing but success in Nashville, which was a great place for him to go both professionally and personally. He was a soldier here in Ottawa and I'lll never forget some of the good memories he provided me but it was time to move on.
noeson seems like he's got the same type of firecracker playstyle as fisher, with untapped potential. could be a real good player for us in 2-3 years if not sooner. he's leading a very good plymouth squad down in the OHL.
Over the years I've watched a bunch of my favourite Sens leave - Redden, Hossa, Lalime, Volchenkov, Fisher, Vermette, etc. It sucks seeing them go, but I can always look forward to the new faces that will inevitably replace them, and I can always look back and remember their tenures and contributions with the team. So yeah, I miss Fisher nostalgically. At the same time, I don't think we need to reacquire him right now.

Smitty has efectively replaced him offensively without eating up as much icetime. By next year a combination of smith turris and zibanejad wil make the trade look like a no-brainer.
The only sens we've ever missed as much on the ice as we did off it were chara and tugger.

The tugger trade was brutal. Ottawa and Barrasso went out to the leafs in the first round, Tugger and the Penguins made it to at least the second. Including one game that had four overtimes or something.

Pretty much this. I really didn't want to break the 2005/06 teams, but eventually they become replaced. Not necessarily by better players immediately, but eventually you find the next guy to make his mark.
Fisher was an amazing third line C, and sort of wore out his welcome as a second line C, but he brought a lot more to the table than just his point totals (no, not Underwood).
Speaking of ex Sens really makes me wonder which of our current crop aren't in our long term plans. I can realistically see Alfredsson, Phillips, and Neil all retiring as Senators, and I'm optimistic about Spezza and Karlsson but really some of our current favs could even be gone by the off season.
