Team: 2024-25 Ottawa Senators

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 7, 2024

Published: Mar. 7, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

The top six doesn't show up on a nightly basis other than 37 year old Claude Giroux. We have about two and a half dmen that actually can play defence (Sanderson and Zub).

The goalies go without mentioning, league worst tandem that cannot be part of the future here if management wants to convince fans that the team is ready to win.

Josh Norris is basically chalked at this point, time to retire.

This team is in worse shape than last year and at this point I don't even know what they can do to turn this ship around for next season. I don't envy Staios this off season. The slots that are open imo are the ones that need to be addressed but I can't see how this team does that successfully in just this off season. Might be another wasted year next year too

Need to do a nice 2 draft hardcore retool to fix the prospect pool. Wait for our goalie prospects to develop. And then start signing some vets this summer and next summer

Yup. Norris is unfortunate but every team faces adversity one way or another. Consistency will do wonders for them. Restock the prospect pool, get a starting goalie that doesn’t suck every game, and fill in spots with responsible vets.
