Locked On Senators - Daily Podcast On The Ottawa Senators

Are fans losing confidence in Pierre Dorion? Is DJ Smith the right coach to bring the Ottawa Senators back into Stanley Cup playoff contention? Should the Sens prioritize a Top-4 defenseman or Top-6 forward this summer?

Ross Levitan and Brandon Piller are joined by Senior Writer with The Athletic & Friend of the Show Ian Mendes to answer all those questions and more from his recent fan survey. Then, we continue our 2022 NHL Draft Rankings with #48 Elias Salomonsson, #47 Mattias Havelid, #46 Matyas Sapovaliv, and #45 Hunter Haight.
