- Aug 17, 2018 Devils in the details: New Jersey provides youthful model for Senators
Ottawa Sun — Sometimes, inspiration and motivation can come from the craziest places. Maybe, just maybe, with September and the start of a new hockey season just around the corner, the Ottawa Senators can look towards that hockey hotbed of New Jersey for some sense of hope. It’s a tremendous reach, but, in a dream scenario for Senators […]
Aug 17, 2018 - Aug 16, 2018 Garrioch: Ottawa Senators willing to be patient on an Erik Karlsson trade
Ottawa Sun — The Ottawa Senators are playing a waiting game with Erik Karlsson. And, yes, you have heard these words before, but over the course of the summer the situation has remained fluid and unpredictable. As the song goes, everything can change in a New York minute, but it doesn’t appear at the moment that any trade […]
Aug 16, 2018 - Aug 15, 2018 A trio of Senators will headline charity game lineup in Michigan

Aug 15, 2018 - Aug 13, 2018 Senators make signing of top draft pick Brady Tkachuk official
Ottawa Sun — Not surprisingly, there is no doubt in Brady Tkachuk’s mind about where he should be playing next season. “I think it’s with Ottawa and in the NHL,” Tkachuk said in an interview with TSN 1200 late Monday afternoon, only hours after the Senators made his signing official. “I think I’m physically ready and mentally ready […]

- Aug 17, 2018 Top 25 Under 25, #16: Gabriel Gagne
Silver Seven — Belleville’s AHL All Star joins the list at #16 Belleville’s leading goal scorer, Gabriel Gagné, comes in at the 16th spot in this year’s rankings. Jumping two spots from last year, Gagné put to bed a few of the worries that his rookie pro year brought to light. Two seasons ago, Gagné amassed six points across 42 games in the AHL and spent 19 games in the ECHL. It wasn’t a fantastic way to kick off his pro career. Many were questioning why the Ottawa Senators traded up to select Gagné 36th overall in 2015 - some still are. After a poor rookie season, Gagne came into his...
Aug 17, 2018 - Aug 16, 2018 Top 25 Under 25, #17: Maxime Lajoie
Silver Seven — The smooth skating defenseman looks to build on a decent rookie season with the Belleville Senators 17. Maxime Lajoie (Reader Rank: 20, Last Year: 15) Falling two spots from last year, Maxime Lajoie is the third pivot profiled so far in this year’s top 25 under 25. While still technically qualified to return to the WHL, the Senators 133rd selection from the 2016 draft spent his first full season in the AHL last year. Lajoie’s biggest strength is mobility, with and without the puck. He is often described as a smooth skating player who can turn quickly on his edges and uses his mobility...
Aug 16, 2018 - Aug 15, 2018 Top 25 Under 25, #18: Ben Harpur
Silver Seven — The player with the second-most NHL games only makes it to 18 #18. Ben Harpur (Reader rank: 15, Last year: 7) Ben Harpur has 52 NHL regular season games played and 9 NHL playoff games, which are both good enough for second on this list. After paying his dues with 129 AHL games and four ECHL games, he received a two-year, one-way contract with a $725k cap hit. All of these sound like positives, but both readers and writers on this site were in agreement that he’s not a top-10 young player on this team. It seems that the organization’s perception of Harpur is different from the...
Aug 15, 2018 - Aug 14, 2018 Top 25 Under 25 #19: Nick Paul
Silver Seven — The 23-year-old power forward makes his fourth straight appearance in our annual list No. 19: Nick Paul (Reader Rank: 19, Last Year: 11) Ah, remember the Spezza trade? Simpler times. Four years later, the only remaining piece is 23-year-old Nick Paul, who is certainly not Jason Spezza but will most likely turn out to be a decent power forward with a bit more time to develop. The clock is ticking, though, and Paul has been in this organization for a long time without managing to secure a consistent spot in Ottawa. As previous T25U25 posts have explained in much more detail, Paul was a bit of...
