Up until a few days ago this post was planned to be about the draft.
Instead, a cloud has been cast over the Ottawa Senators as it was announced that Craig Anderson will not be returning for another season, and Bobby Ryan’s contract has been bought out. With Mark Borowiecki also slated to hit free agency, the three longest tenured Senators from the 2019-20 season will all be saying their goodbyes, with the keys firmly placed in the hope of a future core. Zero players now remain from the 2017 playoff run.
