–Kaspars Daugavins is scratched tonight, while Bobby Butler returns to the lineup after missing the last four games.  Ben Bishop will start.

–Daniel Alfredsson is the Sens Masterton nominee.  Many (including Alfredsson) thought this might be his final year, but with his strong play it seems more than likely he’ll be back next season.

–Michael Farber writes about the Sens acquisition of Ben Bishop, saying he might be the best trade deadline acquisition thus far.  Sens goaltending coach Rick Wamsley said, “He’s been down a few roads, had a few bumps. That might be able  to help him in his development.”  Farber writes both about his performance thus far with the Sens and what might happen down the road, including the thought that he might become trade bait himself next year if the Sens stick with the Anderson–Lehner plan going forward.

–Joy Lindsay Tweets that Mike McKenna will get the start for Binghamton tonight.

–ZekeA, one of the best Binghamton posters, is writing up the year that was for the B-Sens in analyzing the performance of the individual players.  Here’s his view of the team’s achyllis heel, it’s blueline:
Eric Gryba: Big defensive D-man 2nd yr pro. Takes care of his own end pretty good. Far from the fastest skater, can be physical. Has played a ton of minutes this yr too many in fact. Fatigue of all those minutes is showing up on Eric. He can make a good pass to get the puck out of his own end. Recently he has started to get some points.
Mark Borowiecki: 1st yr pro with 21 games Calder Cup playoffs under his belt. OK I like him has a flare for the game more defensive D-man. Can join the rush up ice a bit, physical OK at making 1st pass to clear the zone. Has played a ton of minutes this yr too many in fact. Fatigue of all those minutes is showing up on Mark also. As Eric and Mark play dam near 30 min a game if not more down here this yr. In my view Mark needs 40 more games down here next yr to round out his game a bit more then off to Ottawa he will go…
Patrick Wiercioch: 2nd yr pro Patrick has had a tough yr with that throat injury. An offensive D-man. Patrick would benefit from a summer of living in the Gym up in Ottawa to get bigger and stronger. Patrick needs to work on the defensive part of being a D-man. IF he does NOT do as JOB did 2 summers ago ,live in the Gym all summer & get stronger he will never be able to move up. It is up to Patrick to work his rear off this summer to add strenght + learn to play defence…. If not they might as well make him a forward or trade him.
Craig Schira: 3rd yr pro well Craig has fallen off this yr. His 1st yr I thought he showed some promise, but the last 2 yrs no. As Craig stats have fallen each yr. He is a #6 D-man at the AHL level. I would NOT resign him. Time to bring in more D-men to develop next yr. + there would not be any room for Craig down here next yr as other D-men will come in to develop…
Tim Conboy: Free agent signing by Ottawa. More of a defensive D-man. Has grit not the best skater. Tim has missed 18 games due to injuries this season. Some of the plays he makes I shake my head. I would not resign Tim for next season…..
Josh Godfrey: Well at best he is an 8th D-man at the AHL level.
Not included in ZekeA’s summary is Bobby Raymond (who played 38 games for Binghamton), but like Godfrey he is a marginal AHL-player.

-The OHL‘s Eastern Conference Coaches Poll has Sens prospect Shane Prince tied with Ivan Telegin as the fastest skater.

–Stefan G: Son is one of many wondering about Jakob Silfverberg‘s game and how it will translate to the NHL.  The only element of the article I’ll point to is the emphasis on his shot, which is something Tim Murray and the Sens brass talked about last summer when they were trying to keep him here.  When he was drafted Silfverberg was seen as a strong two-way player, with the only concern expressed by management being his skating.  With three years of development he’s stronger in all areas and I doubt the transition to the smaller ice is going to be a big one for him.  Silfverberg is not going to be asked to play in the top-six, so offensive expectations (particularly early) need to be tempered.  Depending on how far Brynas goes in the SEL playoffs, I’d expect him to either see a few games in Binghamton or else play with the Sens black aces in the post-season.

I wrote about European leagues back in January (link) with an eye on potential signings (prospects and veterans).  With the regular seasons completed in Europe, I thought I’d revisit the data focussing exclusively on younger players.  Players that are particularly intriguing are highlighted in bold.

Here’s a glance at the SEL (in terms of prospects I’ve also looked at the Allsvenskan, the Swedish second-tier pro league).

Richard Gynge, RW, AIK, 36-28-16-44 (undrafted 24-year old; 6th in league scoring)
John Norman, LW, Djurgarden, 55-4-13-17 (21-year old; #174 CSE 2009)
Niclas Burstrom, D, Skelleftea, 51-6-6-12 (20-year old undersized blueliner; #153 CSE 2009)
Nils Andersson, D, Vaxjo, 45-1-7-8 (20-year old defenseman; #72 CSE 2010)
Oscar Fantenberg, D, HV71, 37-3-4-7 (20-year old defenseman)
Frederik Styrman, D, Skelleftea, 19-1-3-4 (20-year old undersized blueliner; #46 CSE 2009)
Adam Pettersson, C/RW, Sundsvall (Allsvenskan), 52-10-19-29 (20-year old; #9 CSE 2010)
Alexander Hilmerson, C/RW, Mora (Allsvenskan), 52-18-11-29 (21-year old)
Victor Backman, LW/RW, Boras (Allsvenskan), 44-10-16-26 (20-year old; #39 CSE 2011)
Jesper B. Jensen, D, Rogle (Allsvenskan), 50-6-13-19 (20-year old; #84 CSE 2010)

The Finnish league (SM-Liiga) is the European league considered to be closest to the North Amerian-style of play.  The Mestis is the Finnish second-tier pro league.

Sakari Salminen, RW/LW, KalPa, 53-23-23-46 (undrafted 23-year old)
Jesse Mankinen, LW/RW, SaiPa, 58-16-13-29 (20-year old undersized winger; #182 CSE 2009)
Julius Junttila, LW/RW, Karpat, 56-13-15-28 (20-year old undersized winger; #41 CSE 2010)
Charles Bertrand, LW, Lukko, 54-11-11-22 (20-year old; #104 CSE 2010)
Juha-Pekka Pietila, D, Pelicans, 17-0-6-6 (20-year old blueliner with good size)
Olavi Vauhkonen, RW, Jokipojat (Mestis), 42-24-11-35 (big 22-year old; #159 CSE 2008)
Toni Jalo, C/LW, TuTo (Mestis), 45-5-30-35 (22-year old)
Samuli Virkkunen, C/RW, Sport (Mestis), 41-10-21-31 (21-year old)

The Swiss league (NLA) has been a steadily improving league and probably features more overall talent than the Finnish league, but plays the distinctively European-style of hockey.  The NLB is the second-tier pro league.

Damien Brunner, RW, Zug, 4525-35-60 (25-year old was never drafted; 1st in league scoring)
Simon Moser, LW/RW, Langnau, 50-18-16-34 (22-year old; #154 CSE 2009)
Ronalds Kenins, LW, ZSC, 47-6-12-18 (20-year old)
Anthony Huguenin, D, Biel, 50-0-15-15 (20-year old undersized blueliner)
Jeremie Kamerzin, D, Lausanne (NLB), 44-12-25-37 (23-year old blueliner)
Marco Pedretti, C/LW, Ajoie (NLB), 39-12-22-34 (20-year old)

The German league (DEL) is not a great development league, as it’s dominated by imports (typically former AHL-players).  Regardless, I think it’s the next best among the European leagues.  I haven’t included any players from the tier-two league (Bundesliga).

Daniel Pietta, LW, Krefeld, 52-17-30-47 (undrafted 25-year old, 10th in league scoring)
David Wolf, LW, Hamburg, 46-12-23-35 (big undrafted 22-year old)
Laurin Braun, RW, Eisbaren, 47-9-14-23 (20-year old undersized forward; #109 CSE 2009)

The Czech league (Extraliga) is not what it used to be, with most of their top-prospects playing in the CHL, but it’s still a professional and competitive league.

Jan Kovar, LW/C, HC Plzen, 52-18-33-51 (undrafted 21-year old, 7th in league scoring)

The Austrian league (Erste Bank Liga) is very similar to the DEL in being dominated by imports (former AHL-players primarily).

John Hughes, C, Olimpija, 50-21-47-68 (undrafted 24-year old, 1st in league scoring)
Istvan Sofron, RW, Szekesfehervar, 50-31-21-52 (undrafted 23-year old, 6th in league scoring)

The Slovakian league (Extraliga) has suffered even more than the Czech league since the break-up of Czechoslovakia, but still produces elite players.

Martin Bakos, LW, Bratislava, 53-13-22-35 (21-year old; #148 CSE 2008)
Michael Vandas, C, SKP, 36-10-23-33 (20-year old)
Andrej Stastny, C, Trencin, 50-11-18-29 (big 20-year old; #42 CSE 2009)

The Danish (AL-Bank Ligaen) and Norwegian (Get Ligaen) leagues are the only other ones (besides the KHL) which receive some attention.  Typically good prospects graduate to the Swedish junior leagues before putting themselves on the map, but it’s not always the case.  Keep in mind ECHL stars can dominate these leagues, so the caliber of talent is a step down.

Fredrik Killi Csisar, C, Valerenga, 44-16-35-51 (21-year old)
Mats Rosseli Olsen, LW, Valerenga, 35-17-30-47 (20-year old)
Andreas Martinsen, C/RW, Lillehammer, 45-17-26-43 (21-year old)

Finally there’s the KHL. One of the best league’s outside the NHL, high payrolls allow the league to retain many players who would otherwise play in North America.

Vadim Shipachyov, C, Severstal, 54-22-37-59 (undrafted 24-year old, 3rd in league scoring)

The highlighted players:
Richard Gynge, RW, AIK, 55-28-16-44 +12; DOB 1987, 6’1, 196 lbs
He lead his team in goals and was second in team scoring.  He lead the Swedish junior league in scoring (05-06) and was part of Sweden’s WJC (06-07).  This is his third season with AIK, which was promoted from the Allsvenskan two years ago.  His contract expires this year.  Elite Prospects writes, “A technically skilled player with a good scoring touch. Gynge is skilled offensively, but lacks some defensive skills. His skating could use some improvement as well.”  I have no idea when that description of Gynge was written, so keep that in mind.  Players his age are rarely signed and even more rarely have success, but Ville Leino is a comparable in that sense.
Vadim Shipachyov, C, Severstal, 54-22-37-59 +16; DOB 1987, 6’0, 178 lbs
He lead Severstal in scoring and has consistently been a top scorer for the team for the past three seasons.  He’s never played for Russia on an international level, limiting his exposure.  His contract extends through next season (it may or may not have an opt-out clause).  I suspect interest in Shipachyov will be limited due to the lack of a transfer agreement with the KHL.  He’s clearly talented enough to dominate in that league, so it would be a matter of him wanting to make the leap to come to North America.
Sakari Salminen, RW/LW, KalPa, 34-16-14-30 +12; DOB 1988, 5’11, 159 lbs
He leads the team in goals and is second in points.  He played in the WJC (07-08) and has been a full-time player in the SM-Liiga for the past five seasons.  His contract extends to 2013/14.  He was ranked #135 by Central Scouting in 2008.  Elite Prospects writes, “A talented, left-handed winger who skates well. Not very large or physical.”  I’m not sure how accurate his weight is, but clearly he couldn’t survive across the Atlantic without bulking up.
Simon Moser, LW/RW, Langnau, 50-18-16-34 -10; DOB 1989, 6’2, 207 lbs
He lead his team in goals and finished third in points.  He’s never represented Switzerland internationally, limiting his exposure.  His contract runs through 2013/14 and may or may not include an “out” clause.  He was ranked #154 by Central Scouting for the 2009 draft.  With his size I’d guess a lack of exposure is what kept anyone from taking a flyer on him.  The more time you spend studying the draft since it was reduced to seven rounds the more dependent on international events you realise scouts are when it comes to drafting out of Europe.
David Wolf, LW, Hamburg, 44-11-21-32 +12; DOB 1989, 6’3, 216 lbs
He finished fourth in points with Hamburg (first in points-per-game and tied for second in assists).  He played in the WJC (08-09) and was awarded one of the top-three players on his team.  His contract runs through 2012/13 and may or may not include an “out” clause.  With good size it might be his skating that’s kept him off the radar.  Results in the DEL aren’t a great indicator for the NHL (think of Marcel Mueller), but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone invites him to camp to at least assess what he can offer.

-Paul MacLean talked about last night’s game, “We’re happy to get a point on the road … but for the most part this team doesn’t bring out the best in us, for some reason. We have another opportunity on Friday to find a solution. We don’t seem to be able to skate the way we do when we’re successful, for whatever reason. We don’t skate very good against this team and we have to find a solution to that.”

-The Sens confirmed the signing of Cole Schneider to a two-year ELC.  Tim Murray talked about Schneider, “He’s a skilled left winger. He has good hands. He’s a tall kid, 6-2. Obviously has to get stronger, but … we saw him night after night at UConn, and he was the best player there. We just like his skill set, and we think he brings an offensive dimension to our team down the road. He’ll sign an ATO, go to Binghamton on Monday and start practicing Tuesday morning. And he signed a two-year entry-level contract starting in the 2012-2013 season. We had our guys identify him early in the year, and then we followed up on him a couple times in the last couple months here and watched him play a lot, and just liked what we saw.”  Schneider said, “It’s really hard to leave the guys on the team, but in the end I had to do what’s best for me.  Growing up, you dream of playing pro hockey and now I get to live that dream. The coaches really worked me hard this year.  They got after me more and helped me improve what I needed to improve defensively.  They helped me out with my all-around game really.  The coaches were a huge part of this.  Coming to UConn I never would have thought this was possible after two years, but they really helped me, probably more than they know.”

–Rob Klinkhammer‘s fifth NHL game triggers the condition of the trade with Chicago in which Ottawa gives up their 7th round pick in 2013.

–Bobby Raymond scored a goal in Florida’s 8-3 win last night.

–John Henkelman updates Senator prospect rankings on Hockey’s Future‘s site.  There’s no rationale provided for how the players were compared (presumably it’s based on performance, but it’s difficult to connect performance with the changes Henkelman made with his previous rankings).  Nevertheless, the list makes for  interesting food for thought.
1. Mika Zibanejad
2. Robin Lehner
3. Jakob Silfverberg
4. Stefan Noesen
5. Mark Stone
6. Mark Borowiecki
7. Stephane Da Costa
8. Patrick Wiercioch
9. Matt Puempel
10. Andre Petersson
11. Jim O’Brien
12. Shane Prince
13. Nikita Filatov
14. Derek Grant
15. Eric Gryba
16. Jean-Gabriel Pageau
17. Mike Hoffman
18. Fredrik Claesson
19. Ben Blood
20. David Dziurzynski

-Another college free agent possibility this year is Dutch national Nardo Nagtzaam, who just finished his freshman year at Mercyhurst University (37-11-19-30).  Jack Prince, the English national playing for the NAHL’s Texas Tornado’s (46-31-31-62) might draw some interest, although he’s more likely to go on to play in the NCAA before getting NHL interest.

–Elliotte Friedman Tweets that the Sens are close to signing 21-year old NCAA free agent forward Cole Schneider (6’2, 38-23-22-45) from the University of Connecticut.  Friedman’s comments are from yesterday, and Joy Lindsay Tweets today that he’s expected to sign an ATO and join Binghamton next week.

–Daniel Alfredsson talked about the dangers of playing teams out of contention, “We played pretty good last year at the end. Everybody plays with pride. They’re playing pretty good and I’m pretty sure they want to make sure they finish strong going into next year. For us, it’s two more points on the line. We’ve got to make sure we bring our intensity and play smart. They’re playing a little bit more relaxed. If we give them chances, they’re going to be flying and cheating a little bit. We’re going to have to be very poised with the puck.”  Alfredsson also talked about the approach the Sens need to have for continued success, “For us, more than anything, it’s a reminder we’ve got to skate. When we’re skating, we’re making things happen. We’re creating offence, we’re getting back on the backcheck. Skate, and don’t get cautious. We’ve got to keep pushing. Buffalo, the way they play, they’re an aggressive team, if they get momentum, they’re a team that can win seven, eight, nine, 10 in a row. But if you’re a team that’s really patient (read: sits back) I don’t think you’re going to have the same kind of streaks as a skating team that’s aggressive.”

–Adnan illustrates how meaningless fights have been in generating momentum for the Sens this year (with the odd exception of Colin Greening) and expresses the obvious point that fisticuffs have nothing to do with game outcomes.

–Sports Illustrated‘s power rankings are out with Ottawa 14th.

–Jakob Silfverberg was voted the SEL’s MVP by the leagues players.

–Michael Traikos points out the obvious when he says, “Here is a league that readily admits the amount of concussions sustained so far this season is on par with last season, and yet this is somehow spun as good news.” And, “One website, the concussionblog.com, reported last month that instances of concussion had risen by 60% this season. The NHL, which is not exactly forthcoming with injury information, claimed then the number was closer to 10%.”  There are only two effective deterrents, which are heavy-handed suspensions (which the NHL tried and immediately retreated from) and stronger penalties for hits to the head.  The combination of those two elements would eliminate most head shots.

–Daniel Alfredsson talked about Rob Klinkhammer, “He played really good (Saturday). He’s been playing solid. He knows his role, starting to get a little more comfortable with the puck, get a read off me and Turry, too, how we move out there. I think (Saturday) was probably our best game together. It’s probably sometimes easier for him to play up here than it is to play in the AHL. Easy to read off me and Turry. He’s done a really good job so far.”

–Pierre McGuire says the terrible idea proposed at the GM’s meeting to bring back the redline is a dead letter.  With scoring continuing to slide (it has declined every year post-lockout) the redline would further erode what little scoring there is.  Stu Hackel reports the only potential changes being discussed are 3-on-3 overtime and eliminating the trapezoid, with the latter having virtually no impact on the game.  One of the main problems in the game, goaltender equipment, is not being discussed.

–ESPN‘s power rankings are out and Ottawa is 12th.

–Bobby Raymond had an assist in Florida’s 8-2 last night.

-Prospect updates (their position in team scoring is noted in brackets, defence compared to defence); I’ve also indicated if the player’s scoring position has change (with a + for up, – for down, and = for unchanged).  All leagues except the CHL are into playoff rounds and in the case of some NCAA players their seasons are finished (they are marked with a *):

–Paul MacLean talked about last night’s loss, “I’m a little bit disappointed in their last goal and that there wasn’t a penalty called on (Foligno). I thought it was a slew-foot (on Gonchar) that led to an opportunity for him to get the puck. We had the lead with less than six minutes to go and they had to make a play, that in my mind is disappointing that ends up tying the game. What I was told by the closest referee was that (Gonchar) got outmuscled. It was a battle play … It ends up being a good forecheck.”

–Kurt Kleinendorst was not happy with Binghamton’s performance last night, “But rather than overreact, let’s just wait and see how it goes (next week). But was I thrilled with the way that some of us performed? No. No, not at all. But what are you going to do? We are who we are, and it is what it is. As a coach, you don’t like to be standing behind the bench when it’s six-to-nothing, obviously. We don’t like to lose, and you don’t want to be there. But, when it’s six-to-nothing, I love it … because you see who your character guys are. You really see your team. Jack [Downing] was probably our best forward. He was honest all night long, so I’m not surprised. Bartlett was good tonight; he got a little more ice time. And Corey Cowick, same thing. In the third period, we’re playing three lines, so they all got a lot of ice time. They got an opportunity, and they made the most of it, so good for them.”

-Sens prospects Jeff Costello and Bryce Aneloski‘s seasons are over, each completing their second year in the NCAA.

-Just a minor note about Capgeek, the best online source for NHL contracts and cap information.  There is an error in Robin Lehner‘s listing on Ottawa’s chart (link), where it’s set to make it look like this is his rookie year.  He is, of course, finishing the second year of his ELC.

Ottawa gave up three one-goal leads to lose to the Sabres in a shootout.  It was a controversial finish with a non-call on Marcus Foligno that lead immediately to the game-tying goal late in the third period.  The officials (Kelly Sutherland and Chris Rooney) only called four penalties, ignoring many infractions on both sides, but following a general pattern in the NHL of fewer and fewer calls. Ben Bishop was solid in net, but couldn’t hold the fort in the shootout.  Here’s the box score.

First Period
Dominated by Buffalo, who held a 12-7 lead in shots, but the Sens scored the only goal on a short-handed breakaway for Erik Condra.
Second Period
The Sens dominated the second, firing 21 shots and had plenty of chances to score more than the single goal they got from Erik Karlsson (a goal from Alfredsson was called back when it was determined the whistle had blown; Daugavins had a breakaway and Condra had a chance all alone in front).  The Sabres tied the game twice, including late when Tyler Ennis cashed in on a puck that deflected off of Filip Kuba.
Third Period
A more balanced period, but the Sens had the lead off another Karlsson tally until the controversial Marcus Foligno goal.  Foligno pulled down Sergei Gonchar and then his shot bounced in off of Alfredsson.
OT
Chances both ways, with the Sens able to kill off a powerplay at the end of the extra frame.
Shootout
Alfredsson scored the only goal for Ottawa, with Bishop stopping just one Buffalo shooter.

A look at the goals:
1. Condra (sh)
Sprung on a breakaway after a Phillips blocked shot
2. Buffalo, Gerbe
Fires through a crowd
3. Karlsson (Neil, Foligno)
Puts the puck in off Miller from the corner
4. Buffalo, Ennis
The puck bounces off Kuba’s leg and Ennis cashes in on it
5. Karlsson (unassisted)
Terrible giveaway by the Sabres and Karlsson beats Miller from the slot
6. Buffalo, M. Foligno
Pulls Gonchar down and bounces the puck in off Alfredsson

Top-performers:
Erik Karlsson – scored twice and was solid in all three zones
Filip Kuba – the Ennis goal wasn’t his fault and he was excellent defensively

Players Who Struggled: no one stood out as individually atrocious, although the Sens had problems with their breakouts.

-Binghamton got hammered tonight by Rochester, with Robin Lehner pulled after giving up 6 goals on 23 shots.  Jack Downing scored the only goal, with the B-Sens firing a pathetic 18 shots throughout the game.  Here’s the box score and Joy Lindsay‘s game summary.

-Elmira won 5-2 tonight, with Brian Stewart picking up the win and Louie Caporusso adding a goal.  Bobby Raymond was held off the scoreboad in Florida’s win tonight.
