Fifteen years ago, the Ottawa Senators and Atlanta Thrashers shocked the hockey world in a superstar for superstar (plus Greg de Vries) trade. Let’s take a look back at the players involved, the trade itself, and the aftermath. Marian Hossa as a Senator Drafted 12th overall in 1997, some were disappointed that the Senators opted […]

While Ottawa Senators general manager Pierre Dorion is focused on who to select in the upcoming NHL Draft, he would be wise to also take a look at successful non-draft acquisitions made by Stanley Cup-winning teams. For example, in the lead-up to the 2009 NHL trade deadline, the Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Chris Kunitz. At the […]

Earlier, I wrote about the Ottawa Senators’ young goalies. While there is plenty of hope for the long term future with that young group, the short term is much more of a question mark. While Craig Anderson has yet to make an announcement about his future, his last few seasons were mediocre and at the […]

The two best words in sports: Game 7. That is unless you’re an Ottawa Senators fan. Not once has the fanbase been able to revel in post-Game 7 pandamonium following a win.

If you’ve been following along, I first wrote about the young Ottawa Senators’ goalies. Next, it was their defensemen. Now, time for the forwards. Coming into the 2019-20 season, the Senators’ young forward prospects were looked at by many as a rather mediocre group. However, with big-time performances from a number of their players up […]

My last article focused on the Ottawa Senators’ young group of goalies. Now, it’s time for the defensemen. Senators fans know by now that young defensemen are difficult to project. At one point, the franchise thought they had a future top-four locked and loaded. It was a group that included Erik Karlsson, David Rundblad, Jared […]

The voodoo position. Goalies are sometimes as tough to figure out as the Bermuda Triangle. One minute you have a great goalie and the next, he’s chopped liver.
