Senators History

The 2005-06 season was a very memorable one for Buffalo Sabres fans. Coming out of the NHL lockout, the team was not expected to accomplish much with a low payroll and the second-lowest highest-paid player in the league. They were a young team, led by co-captains Daniel Briere and Chris Drury along with Teppo Numminen and Mike Grier. A number of young players were making their first real impact in the NHL. Thomas Vanek, Derek Roy, Paul Gaustad, Jason Pominville and Tim Connolly began to form a nucleus that would excite unexpected Sabres fans for the next two years.

A fantastic way of giving the team a new image is a rebrand of the current jerseys and logo. Attendance has been an issue for years in Ottawa, but peaked during the 2019-20 season A new set of sweaters and a new image would do wonders for the team that has been bogged down in negative press for years. With the Sens roster undergoing a...

As with any NHL team, the return an organization can get for a particular player or pick can vary a great deal. Are they buyers or sellers at the trade deadline? Is the organization in a rebuild? Did the player ask to be traded or was a player causing issues for the team, like what happened with Dany Heatley and Mike Hoffman?
