Sens Nation - Your Ottawa Senators Podcast With Steve Warne and Gregg Kennedy

Senators move closer to assistant coach decisions. Another top Belleville Senators defenceman heads back to Europe. Former Senator Luke Richardson enters the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame. We outline our picks for the top 10 NHL players ever to come out of Ottawa.

We talk about the last ten years of Ottawa Senator first-round performances at the draft. Two more head coaching vacancies are filled. Canada finished fourth at the Worlds and didn't have a lot of love for Ridly Greig who got into only 5 of the 10 games and barely played when he did dress.

We discuss how the forward group may look for the upcoming season, and different scenarios if the team can't bring in reinforcements this off-season. We look back at the "rebuild trades" from the spring of 2019 and analyze what remains of those deals. Spoiler: Not much.

If changes are coming, we believe they'll be through trade and not free agency. We talk about what Shane Pinto's next deal may look like and will he have to move to the wing to get into the top six?

If the Senators are considering a defenceman at next month's draft, we discuss the three players who will be available to them with their first selection at seventh overall.

In addition, we assess the future of Parker Kelly and his probable re-signing, while also wondering if an Ehlers for Chychrun deal makes sense.

Michael Andlauer defines best in class, and says Travis Green wasn't a cheap hire. Defining accountability. Lassi Thomson's days in Ottawa are through and Erik Brannstrom will likely follow. Brady Tkachuk, fighting, and his future. And some thoughts on the Atlantic final between Boston and Florida.

The Ottawa Senators hire Travis Green as their head coach. We discuss the many story angles, including the criticism on social media. The Sens stay put in the NHL Draft Lottery and will choose 7th overall.
