After free agency in July, the Ottawa Senators are eager to start their 2025-26 season on Oct. 9 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Senators will be eager to show that 2025's playoff appearance wasn't a fluke.
With Brady Tkachuk as captain, the Senators are in good hands. Tim Stutzle, Jake Sanderson, Dylan Cozens, Thomas Chabot, Linus Ullmark and more will be ready to be major contributors for the Senators.
However, even with very little moves being made in August, some might think the off-season is still not done. One has a new trade projected between the Senators and New York Rangers that could send a shock to the NHL.
