Sens Sign Alex Galcheynuk: Good Decision or Not? Gregg doesn't like it. Steve thinks differently.

Will this be Logan Brown's Final Chance to Shine? After acquiring Galceynuk and re-signing Christ Tierney, how Many NHL openings do the Sens Actually Have?

The Sens have lots of prospects at centre ice, but not a lot of proven NHL-level talent...yet.

Is Tim Stuetzle going to stay at home in Germany for another season?

At what age do you start worrying that a player may never develop into what you thought he would?

We touch on the Corey Perry talk. But not for very long.

Harsh justice for an NHL draft pick for something he did at age 14.

Today on the show we're joined by ex-Ottawa Senator and American Hockey League Hall of Famer, Brad Smyth!

Brad gives us his take on the Sens' off-season so far, including the new stuff like Connor Brown's re-signing, avoiding arbitration with a 3-year contract AAV of $3.6 million.

Sens first-rounder Tim Stützle - taken third overall - was drafted out of the German pro hockey league. Brad played in that league and gives us some interesting background on whether it's any good or not.

Brad also gives us his take on Matt Murray, Evgenni Dadonov, Cody Ceci, Joe Thornton and much more!

We discuss the Senators 2020 Draft performance, getting Tim Stuetzle, Jake Sanderson and Ridly Greig in round one. We get into the acquiring and signing of Matt Murray, Ottawa's new number one goalie for the next 4 years. And the surprise dismissal of all-star Anthony Duclair who did not receive a qualifying offer he was happy with. The Sens said they made a substantial offer.

Closing Out the Draft Hype, Steve makes his official prediction on what the Sens will do a #3 and #5.

Sens Make a Trade with Florida for Josh Brown, another right shot defenceman. Will there be other Sens deals in the next few days?

Now that the Sens have bought out Bobby Ryan, how in the world will they get to the salary cap floor?

Perhaps a well paid veteran goalie on a short term UFA deal might provide the answer. There are many UFA goalies out there this off-season who might not have many decent options.

Steve has seen the Sens New Black Uniforms and provides a full description.

In this episode, we're joined by Scott Wheeler. Scott covers the NHL Draft and NHL prospects for The Athletic and he's got some rankings I think will surprise you.

Pierre Dorion meets with the media and announces Craig Anderson's career in Ottawa is officially over. He also thanked Marc Borowiecki expecting him to test the free agent waters.

Goaltending is a concern since Anders Nilsson remains a question mark health wise.

JG Pageau about to join his ex-Sens teammate Derrick Brassard as part owner of the Gatineau Olympiques.

The new Sens logo is out. They went back to the old 2D. Shocker.

Today we discuss what the Senators might do in the first round of the upcoming draft with Grant McCagg from Recrutes.ca.  We discuss TSN's report this week on the top 10 Senators prospects.  DJ Smith says the Sens may go without a captain once again. Brady Tkachuk turning 21 this week highlights our Sens birthday reel.

Bobby Ryan is your 2020 NHL Masterton winner
great story...hat trick game...

Marc Borowiecki's days as an Ottawa Senator are done. Sens don't appear to be bringing back their top goal scoring defenceman.

The NHL reportedly gets involved to get the Sens coaches paid properly
After seeing their pay reduced by 50 per cent – nearly twice more than the next-highest reduction in the league  – the Ottawa Senators’ coaching staff appealed to the NHL for relief.

The Sens are keen on goalie Matt Murray, according to TSN. We discuss who we might deal for Murray in our first visit to the Sens Nation Trade Lab.

Is it a good idea? He's only under club control for one more year. A two time Cup winner on an offensive team. Murray didn't benefit from a 1990's New Jersey Devils shutdown style of play. Murray got it done. A 937 save percentage during the last Cup run.

Jacques Martin joins the New York Rangers...Such a great pickup.
Martin spent 17 years as a head coach for the St. Louis Blues, Ottawa Senators, Florida and Montreal. 12 years as an assistant in Chicago, Quebec, Colorado and Pittsburgh. David Quinn the current head coach has been an NHL coach for 2 years.

Does the game pass coaches by?

Zdeno Chara wants to return to Boston

Still no deal for Borowiecki.
