Description

Or should we look to acquire someone for that 2nd line RW? Stay the course with a top 5-10 draft pick? Is adding Kuzmenko guarantee?

I think adding a guy like Giroux could be beneficial for the senators, with him being good, and being a veteran. He can help with the leadership too. I think there is a good chance Brown leaves unless the senators are good by the time his contract is over. He has 29 points in 34 games. Very good guy to have on the second line!

He’s been on fire like the last 10 games . Idk if it’s sustainable but I really like him in the middle 6. I still think we need Kuzmenko as a sniper plus another play driver in the top 6

I'd like Giroux, but to pry him out of Philly, he'll need to sign for multiple years at 7+ and I don't think that's going to work for Ottawa's pocket book. The year after next, Ottawa will need to re-sign Pinto and Stutzle. Not to mention Norris and Zub extensions are going to cost a ton. I think he'd fit the top 6 nicely and add a legitimate "veteran" presence with skill and grit.

I see this as well. If Paul isn't re-signed, i think a line with him, Connor Brown and Pinto down the middle would be a fantastic third line.

I wouldn't move Stützle away from C. He's good down the middle, and will only get better as he gets stronger
