The Ottawa Senators will start the season with Karlsson injury free which should help loads. We also made some offseason moves. Bobby Ryan is gone, traded for an aging tough guy to clear the 7mil off the books and open up some room. We also signed Evander Kane (3.9 mil for 3 seasons) and Paul Stastny (5.26 mil for 4 seasons) to help get some more puck movement and some more scoring hopefully help bolster a weak scoring forward core.

Alex Burrows is gone to the minors from last season as well. He wasnt a great forward for us but Boucher used him on the top line with Turris and Dzingel. At the end of the season though, he finally had Turris, Hoffman and Stone together which helped loads.

Going into the season, here is the possible lines and roster

GOALTENDING

Starter - Craig Anderson (37) Last Season - 24 games, 8-11-1 2.79 gaa, .897 save percentage

Back Up - Mike Condon (28) Last Season - 62 games, 33-26-3 2.66 gaa
.905 save percentage

Not really sure who Boucher is going with this season. Anderson didn't play well last season at all and Condon did. Condon would appear to be the front runner but my gut is Anderson

DEFENSE

Erik Karlsson (28) Last Season - 68 games, 16 games, 44 assists, 60 points, 38 Pim, plus 1
Mark Borowiecki (29) Last Season - 78 games, 4 goals, 9 assists, 13 points, 147 pim, plus 8
Fred Claesson (25) Last season - 14 games, 0 goals, 2 assists, 2 points, 4 pim, even
Alec Martinez (31) Last Season - 52 games, 8 goals, 16 assists, 24 points, 28 pims, minus 15
Dion Phaneuf (33) Last Season - 82 games, 13 goals, 20 assists, 33 points, 105 pims, plus 16
Chris Wideman (27) Last Season - 75 games, 5 goals, 12 assists, 17 points, 25 pims, -3
Cody Ceci (24) Last Season - 79 games, 5 goals. 18 assists, 23 points, 40 pims, -20

Overall, not the greatest unit. Tomas Chabot is waiting in the wings to come up and should be on the team at some point this season.

FORWARDS

Alex Formenton (19) Last Season 79 games, 15 goals. 15 assists, 30 points, 14 pim, -2
Mike Hoffman (28) Last Season - 82 games, 27 goals, 38 assists, 65 points, 30 pim, -10
Evander Kane (27)Last Season - 82 games, 16 goals, 13 assists, 29 points, 94 pims, -11 (with Buffalo)
Zach Smith (30) Last Season - 75 games, 11 goals, 17 assists, 28 points, 63 pim, +2
Derick Brassard (31) Last Season - 64 games, 8 goals, 15 assists, 23 points, 52 pim, -14
Logan Brown (20) Last Season - 73 games, 6 goals, 6 assists, 12 points, 56 pim, -7
Filip Chlapik (21) Last Season - 76 games, 19 goals, 43 assists, 62 points, 78 pim, -18 In Belleville (AHL)
JG Pageau (25) Last Season - 82 games, 21 goals, 36 assists, 57 points, 64 pim, +9
Paul Stastny (32) Last Season - 75 games, 12 goals, 24 points, 36 points, 17 pim, -16 (with St. Louis)
Kyle Turris (29) Last Season - 82 games, 12 goals, 34 assists, 46 points, 46 pim, -6
Ryan Dzingel (26) Last Season - 82 games, 9 goals, 12 assists, 21 points, 36 pim, -10
Tom Pyatt (31) Last Season - 56 games, 9 goals, 11 assists, 20 points, 26 pim, +2
Mark Stone (26) Last Season - 74 games, 18 goals, 19 assists, 37 points, 25 pim, +6
Colin White (21) Last Season - 8 games, 0 goals, 1 assist, 1 point, 4 pim +1

Overall, I think we should score more goals than last season. Karlsson being healthy will help and Mark Stone needs to have a much better season.
