Not doing whatever it took to rebuild around "Captain" Mark Stone was the worst mistake the Senators ever made. (lemmy.ca)

Congrats to him on getting his cup. Was always my favorite Senator. I've always believed that rather than building around a single superstar, teams should build around a trio of hardworking regular stars.

Trading EK...I was fine with it. But the team should have been built at that point around Captain Stone, Chabot and a promising young goalie.

I think any Sens fan will agree with you. Hindsight is 20/20.

As a Sens fan, this was the move that broke me. When Alfie left, I felt hurt. When Karlsson left, I was angry, but understood that it was likely the best move for him. When Stone got traded, I knew management had given up on producing a presentable product. I'm glad to see his success, I just wish my team could be a part of it.

Hopefully the new ownership will be a positive change.

It would help if the family stopped moving the goalposts so the sale could be completed. :/

The upside is we got the overlap of Stone and Brady, and that will pay dividends for years to come.

As an aside, both Mark Stone and Matthew Tkachuk are in Brady's wedding party this summer...
