While the Senators don’t have any glaring weaknesses on their roster, they would still be wise to bolster their talent pool

With Dougie Hamilton’s impending free agent status, I take a look at 3 potential signings that would make sense for the Senators this offseason, continue the slideshow to see if the Carolina Hurricanes defenceman cracked the list.

The free agency crop isn’t too strong behind Hamilton, but with names like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall, and potentially Zach Hyman there’s definitely value at the top.

The philosophy of Senators management entering this offseason should be totally different than last, Pierre Dorion isn’t desperate for NHL bodies like he was last season, allowing himself to be much more patient and selective throughout the free-agent process.

With core players such as Brady Tkachuk, Thomas Chabot, Josh Norris and Tim Stützle among others, the Senators can now support their core by signing players that can complement their skills.
