Senators coach D.J. Smith isn’t about to receive any sympathy cards from the Dallas Stars, Columbus Blue Jackets and Pittsburgh Penguins, who have all endured significant COVID-19 hiccups during training camp.

The Ups and Downs of a Crowded Roster
Photo by Scott Audette/NHLI via The Senators have tons of options this year, but could that have a negative effect on player development? With the Ottawa Senators’ training camp well underway, fans may have questions pertaining to the new veterans that GM Pierre Dorion recently traded for. The acquisitions of Derek Stepan, Cedric Paquette, and Braydon Coburn have brought the number of one-way deals up to seventeen, on top of established players on two-way deals like Brady Tkachuk and Drake Batherson. This doesn’t seem ideal for a rebuilding team with prospects...

Stepan Brings Experience, Upside to Ottawa
Photo by Richard A. Whittaker/Icon Sportswire via The veteran centre could have a sizeable impact on a young team. When the news broke, late Saturday night, that the Ottawa Senators had acquired 30 year-old Derek Stepan from the Arizona Coyotes, there was a vocal contingent of fans expressing displeasure with giving up a second-round pick. There’s merit to this, sure. Sending a second-rounder the other way for a guy with a rough-looking salary figure, who posted 28 points in 70 games last year is a tad puzzling on the surface. Especially for an Ottawa team that...
