I’ve covered my pick for the the In-House option, I lined up a trade-option. Last option I think is a free-agent signing. As of when I’m writing this, Travis Hamonic is still available. I think he would be a really good short-term option for the top spot up with Chabot. Hamonic is a reliable two-way defenseman who uses his body to his advantage. I think if the Senators go after a guy like Hamonic, it’s strictly on a 2-3 year deal. Hamonic is good, but I wouldn/tt wanna see him in Ottawa(atleast on the first pair) longer than that. He is a reliable veteran that would add skill and experience to this young team, but also create some competition in training camp for the young guys.

Closing Thoughts

I think the best option would be either the Free-Agent route or my In-House option. The Trade-Option was honestly just wishful thinking. In coonclusion, what happens happens. Go Sens Go
