While the Ottawa Senators are likely to tank in the upcoming NHL season, the organisation will be keen to put out a competitive team that can show enough glimmers of hope for the future to regain some fans’ confidence.
While things have been fairly quiet from the Canadian capital since the significant trade and dealings on July 1st, there is a player that could be worth taking a gamble on.
The Vegas Golden Knights have well-documented issues with the cap, currently sitting $3,524,999 over the $81.5 million salary cap.
This leaves the NHL’s newest team with some difficult decisions to make, one of which includes potentially moving Russian winger Nikita Gusev.
