The Ottawa Senators have a momentous opportunity to change the trajectory of their entire franchise. With any luck, the on-ice portion of the transformation will mostly take care of itself by next season: the Sens have been stockpiling young prospects for the better part of the last five years, and there’s reason to believe that a rise up the standings is within their reach. The harder part will be rebuilding the severely damaged relationship that the organization has with its fans, with the community, and with its own employees — but make no mistake, now is the time to make real, meaningful change.
