Who Plays On Line 2 For The Ottawa Senators?

If you could combine Greening’s speed with Stone’s hands, you would have an all-star. However, until they perfect gene splicing, Stone’s downfall will always be his lack of foot speed. In an offensive zone setup Stone would be good to pick his spot and get open, but those chances are few in the NHL and he is going to have to learn how to better do it at a pro level to stick with the Senators.
Shane Prince
An outside shot at making the team next season, Prince was one of the best players at the recent developmental camp. I saw him play a lot with the 67’s, and his play on the ice reminded me a lot of Daniel Alfredsson in terms of ability to protect the puck and be strong down low. He is also a better skater than Alfie, and if his learning curve continues as it has, he could score at the NHL level before too long. I haven’t seen much of him since he went to Bingo, but by all accounts he is making a positive impression.
