About a month ago, I took at the Sens depth chart and identified two main areas where they could potentially add a free-agent: a third-pair defensemen or a third line right-wing. I've already given an overview of the third-pair defenders that they could potentially target in free agency, so this piece will focus on the options at right-wing.
Why this position? Three reasons:
- Curtis Lazar, who spent a bulk of his minutes on the third line last season, doesn't necessarily fit as a 3L RW role. First, he spent most of last season on his opposite wing with Pageau and Alex Chiasson on the right, and has already let the team know that he'd like to spend some time at centre ice - his natural position.
