Season Preview: Ottawa Senators depth chart
Jean-Yves Ahern-USA TODAY Sports
theScore is previewing each team leading up to the 2016-17 season.
The Ottawa Senators missed the playoffs for the second time in three years last season, and after a relatively quiet summer on the acquisition front, the team is looking to new head coach Guy Boucher for a fresh systematic approach.
With a potent offense, and one of the league's top defenseman, the Senators are a threat in the middling Atlantic Division, if they can sort things out in their own zone.
Here's a look at Ottawa's projected depth chart for 2016-17:
Forwards
LW | C | RW |
---|---|---|
Mike Hoffman | Kyle Turris | Mark Stone |
Clarke MacArthur | Derick Brassard | Bobby Ryan |
Zack Smith | Jean-Gabriel Pageau | Curtis Lazar |
Matt Puempel | Chris Kelly | Chris Neil |
- Ottawa traded Mika Zibanejad to the New York Rangers for Brassard in the offseason.
- MacArthur's status remains in question after suffering another concussion in training camp.
Defense
LD | RD |
---|---|
Marc Methot | Erik Karlsson |
Dion Phaneuf | Cody Ceci |
Mark Borowiecki | Chris Wideman |
- Ceci signed a two-year, $5.6-million contract in the offseason, following the most productive season of his young career.
Goalies
G |
---|
Craig Anderson |
Andrew Hammond |
- After Hammond stole the show en route to a miraculous 2014 playoff berth, Anderson took the crease back, starting 60 games last season.
