Every single one of those RFA and UFA deals look amazing. Fingers crossed Dorion can get everyone signed anywhere close those cap hits and terms.

Althouhg it'll be great to see Sanderson play this year, this team does not make it to the playoffs. Goaltending and bottom 6 are just not good enough.

I would say it's more goaltending and defense (as usual)

Bottom-6 will be great. Well, always depend on injuries but assuming the team is healthy :

Giroux - Stutzle - Batherson
Tkachuk - Norris - Joseph
Formenton - Pinto - Brown
Kelly - Kastelic - Watson

This could be one the best 3rd line in the league. That 4th line is pretty much unknown to everybody outside of Ottawa but could very hard to play against.

Colin White, Ridly Greig and Angus Crookshank would want a spot but if the Sens sign Giroux, it will be hard to make this team.

Agreed. We need to fix the D as top priority. I'm not convinced Dorion won't put Sanderson in AHL to start and even when he makes it up, it will still take a season at least before he's able to fill the role of a top 4 defenseman. Move on from Brannstrom, move Zaitsev and Del Zoto, and add a legit top 4 Dman. It's more pressing than adding a top 6 forward IMO.
