Ottawa Senators: One trade target from each non-playoff team

Hockey is back. A jam-packed schedule that started this weekend sees the league’s top 24 teams begin the quest for an unorthodox Stanley Cup.

So while the hockey world is focused on the teams still in contention, let’s turn our attention to the Ottawa Senators and the other six loveable losers who won’t see the ice again until training camps open up in November. There’s still nothing to talk about for this season though, so we’ll find a player on each of the other non-playoff teams that the Sens could target in the off-season.

This will be harder than most similar exercises, as these teams are largely in similar positions to Ottawa, so they likely won’t be as interested in giving up young talent for immediate help. Still, there’s talent all over the league and Pierre Dorion will no doubt do his due diligence and leave no stone unturned when it comes to improving this team.
