Other Advantages

This is never going to happen again!

Yeah, 2020 has thrown a lot at all of us and it has put the future of the league as a whole in a really interesting place. One guarantee though, is that this divisional re-alignment would only be temporary. Why not embrace this insanity while we have the chance?

The Tank

You should’ve gotten the vibe throughout this piece that I don’t expect much from this team next season, and neither should you! On paper, the Senators really can’t compete with any of their Canadian rivals next year, and barring something crazy, look destined to finish last-place in this division. Yeah, another year of losing would be rough, but a stronger chance at another top-five pick would make this whole endeavour worthwhile.

We seriously need any kind of hockey at this point.

It’s been over eight months since the Ottawa Senators have played an NHL game. I miss them and will take anything at this point.
