Early in the season, Ottawa knew they had plenty of work to do in terms of re-signing both unrestricted free agents and restricted free agents. There are still some key RFA’s to sign, but as of now the only two UFA’s that could test the open market are Erik Condra and Andrew Hammond. Hammond is most likely going to re-sign, leaving Condra as a possibility to go some place else.
While Condra may seem like an insignificant piece that the Senators can easily afford to lose, the opposite is true, as he is a major possession driver and is one of Ottawa’s best defensive forwards.
