With a few troublesome contracts on the books, GM Bryan Murray’s task this off-season should be to dump as many as possible, while creating roster and cap space for the large group of RFA’s Ottawa currently holds.
of course, those RFA’s include Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Alex Chiasson, Mark Stone, Mike Hoffman, and Mika Zibanejad. With 4 of the 5 due for considerable raises, the space on the internal budget needs to be made. It may seem unrealistic that the Senators move all of those troublesome deals, but if everything were to go the way of the popular opinion amongst fans, here are 5 Senators who should not be back next season.
