Kyle Turris: Realizing Potential in Ottawa

Kyle Turris: Realizing Potential in Ottawa

October 28th, 2015 Kyle Turris' hockey career didn't start like that of most National Hockey League players. Instead of playing major junior in the Western Hockey League, Turris skated with the Burnaby Express of the BCHL, a Junior-A team. Turris put up huge numbers in his draft year, scoring 66 goals and 121 points in only 55 games. Scouts were clearly...
Senators Bound For Playoffs Again?

Senators Bound For Playoffs Again?

October 1st, 2015 As the 2015-16 season gets closer and closer, almost every team and their fan base thinks they have a shot at the playoffs, if not the Stanley Cup. It's what makes the beginning of the season fun. Hope springs eternal, and for at least a few days, everyone thinks they're in it. Last year, if not for an improbable run over the final...
Handicapping the Battle for the Senators Blueline

Handicapping the Battle for the Senators Blueline

September 23rd, 2015 When news broke that Chris Phillips has a cracked disc in his back after his offseason surgery, it shuffled the depth chart for the Ottawa Senators heading into the season. He will certainly miss training camp, and likely the beginning of the year, and Senators GM Bryan Murray doesn't seem to think that it's a good idea to count on a big...
Is Erik Karlsson Number One in Sens History?

Is Erik Karlsson Number One in Sens History?

August 31st, 2015 At the tender age of 25, Erik Karlsson has already put himself easily in the conversation for the top defenseman in the Senators' history. But is he the best? Numero uno. Top of the line. First place. With due respect to the other defensemen of the past, there are three main alternatives. The Contenders Zdeno Chara Many fans still rue...
Hoffman Handles Awkward Arbitration

Hoffman Handles Awkward Arbitration

August 13th, 2015 It is one of the most awkward parts of sports: salary arbitration. When a player and team can't agree on a contract for the upcoming season, they head to an independent party to determine a fair salary based on past performance and comparable player precedent. The team argues why the player should not get what they are asking for....
4 Best Draft Day Steals for the Senators

4 Best Draft Day Steals for the Senators

July 30th, 2015 In the salary cap era, finding late round gems in the draft is more important than ever. Gone are the days when teams can spend their way out of mistakes. As a team that doesn't spend to the upper limits of the cap, the Senators rely on homegrown and developed talent. There are a limited number of can't miss prospects in any given draft,...
Senators' Future Looks Bright

Senators' Future Looks Bright

July 25th, 2015 The future looks bright in Ottawa. After an on-again, off-again retooling process, the Senators appear to be on the cusp of being a perennial playoff team. As of today, Ottawa only has six players age 30 or over. If we analyze based on production instead of popularity, it's arguable that only one of those six would be considered a...
Don't Get Too Carried Away On Draft Day

Don't Get Too Carried Away On Draft Day

June 25th, 2015 The NHL Entry Draft is one of the most exciting times of the hockey calendar. Like at the beginning of each new season, hope springs eternal on draft day. Hope of the next franchise player being added. Hope of a difference making player to bolster the roster. Hope of a big trade to vault the team into contention. If Free Agent...
