So there you have it, eight of our most beautiful boys hypothetically going off into the world to spread joy and goodwill to the rest of the league before returning home next season. None of these players seem out of place on their new teams, and there were plenty of other players on the Sens who would no doubt be great playoff contributors around the league.
Does this mean the Sens are guaranteed to win the Stanley Cup next season? While it’s hard to be certain, but yes, I think it does. Until then though, we’ll have to settle for this.
