Dizzy getting another crack at this first line. He really is a solid dark horse project, if he can put all his skills and abilities together on a consistent basis, then he really could be a solid player. Maybe even top six level in the NHL.

I saw that too, but looking at those lines it's hard to determine if there is a first line in Bingo or an attempt to spread the scoring around. Petersson & Hoffman are on the 3rd line with Cannone who seems to have cooled down lately. I could see DD replace Daugavins on our 4th line LW, he has good size, is tough, has some offensive skill & can play all three forward positions as well as in all situations. He would be a very versatile player that coaches love & can place anywhere in the lineup.
It will be interesting to see whether Murray re-signs Daugavins or not, he seems to have endeared himself to his teammates & is part of the chemistry on the team. However, IMO DD would be the bigger & better player in that same role, Daugy could be the better skater though with more of a motor. Should be interesting.

Personally I would rather have Daugavins then Condra. IMO they are very similar players and I believe that K Dawg will be equivalent if not a better player offensively and defensively to condra by the time he reaches the same age. He also hits which is nice because Condra doesn't really. So far Condra has 14 hits and K Dawg has 43.

The organization & the coach seem to like Condra a lot, he seems to be a very smart defensive forward with some niffy, underated offensive skill & skating (Kelly). He is also a pretty good stick handler but having said all that I think it eventually comes down to Condra vs Butler because they are both RWers. Daugavins being a LWer will likely have to compete against Greening, Foligno, Z. Smith if he is moved to the wing, Silfverberg next season & DD when he is ready.
Daugs had a pretty good junior & Bingo career as a scorer but we haven't seen that yet in Ottawa. Hopefully it's coming because if these guys don't start producing offensively than the prospects will eventually take their spots. Do you think they trade or let Carkner, Konopka & Winchester walk at the end of the season or do you think that any of them are re-signed? I would think they need to move them to make room next season for the Swedes.
Our RW depth is pretty good moving forward I think. After Michalek, Alfredsson, Condra and Neil we get to look at Petersson and Stone, maybe Zibanejad.
On the LW we have Greening, Foligno, Daugavins and then see Silfverberg, Hoffman, Prince, Puempel and Noesen. This is pretty strong.
The guys who play out of position or force others out of position like Butler are in a more difficult situation if they can not establish their territory. To date (imo) he has not done this.
Down the middle we seem content with Spezza, Turris, Smith for the future and then have to decide on what to do with Regin, Winchester and Konopka before looking at DaCosta, O'Brien, Pageau maybe Zibanejad. This also is pretty strong.
I can see us looking at BPA in this draft again, but would not be surprised at a deal at the table to move up to nab someone Murray wants.
Wait, Sens fans boo'ing Corvo after he left the team as a free agent, and then trashed the city = Bingo fans boo'ing a guy that is still with the team they support giving an honest interview with his hometown newspaper about being homesick?
At some point the Ottawa Senators may say enough is enough and move their affiliate to another city just to protect their prospects no matter how many travel advantages Binghamton has.

Corvo got booed because he demanded a trade and then trashed the city like a classless jerk on his way out of town. At the time, Corvo was 31 years old.
These two situations are clearly the exact same.
Keep up the good work booing our young prospects, that will clearly endear Bingo to the Senators franchise and allow you to keep your team!
AP is a billion times more important to the Senators than the city of Binghamton.
