Head Coach
Just for the fun of it, I decided to select a Head Coach for this roster. As was the case for the goaltenders, there were only two names that made sense: Bryan Murray and Jacques Martin. For me, Bryan Murray is the clear choice.
Not only was he the coach that brought his team to the Stanley Cup Final in 2007, but he was also just an excellent hockey coach and hockey mind.
Any player that played for Bryan Murray would say that he was the ultimate player’s coach, and you can’t take away the success the team had with him behind the bench.
Also, please remember that I am only remembering Bryan Murray as the Head Coach here. Unfortunately, his time as General Manager was not very successful. Bryan Murray had a record of 107-55-20 in 182 games coached with the Ottawa Senators.
Finally, this is what my Ottawa Senators All-Time roster looks like:
Head Coach: Bryan Murray
