HOW OTTAWA SENATORS CAN WIN THEIR FIRST STANLEY CUP

The Ottawa Senators have never won a Stanley Cup since rejoining the NHL in 1993, but I think they have the pieces necessary to do so. Today, I will be trying to turn the Ottawa Senators into a Stanley Cup Contender and get them their first Stanley Cup victory.


Before the Expansion Draft, the Ottawa Senators make one major trade.

Ottawa Senators trade Evgenii Dadonov to the Seattle Kraken for a 2021 3rd round pick.

Evgenii Dadonov hasn't quite fit in with the Ottawa Senators, perhaps going to Seattle might revive his career a bit.


Ottawa Senators lose Derek Stepan to the Seattle Kraken in the expansion draft.


Before the 2021 Draft, one trade is made:

Ottawa Senators trade Artem Anisimov, Ryan Dzingel to the Nashville Predators for Nick Cousins, Rocco Grimaldi.

The Predators improve their depth on offense with the additions of Anisimov and Dzingel, while the Senators add some decent role players in Cousins and Grimaldi.


The Ottawa Senators finished the 2020-21 season with the 4th worst record in the league, but end up with the 5th pick in the draft.


At the 2021 draft, the Ottawa Senators trade picks 37, 69 to the Vegas Golden Knights for pick 30.

The Senators also trade picks 38 to the New Jersey Devils for picks 52, 71.


2021 Draft

5-Brandt Clarke

30-Nikita Chibrikov

52-Aidan Hreschuk

67-Cameron MacDonald

71-Fyodor Svechkov

The Ottawa Senators Draft Brandt Clarke and Aidan Hreschuk, two terrific defensive prospects, and three good forward prospects as well.


After the 2021 draft, one trade is made:

Ottawa Senators trade Logan Brown, Vitaly Abramov, 2nd rd pick '22 to the Buffalo Sabres for Sam Reinhart.

The Senators get Sam Reinhart, a player who was once highly touted but has been a bit of a disappointment for the Sabres; he will get a much-needed change in scenery.


Ottawa Senators re-sign a few players:

Brady Tkachuk-6yrs/6M per

Drake Batherson-3yrs/3.75M per

Artem Zub-3yrs/3M per

Victor Mete-1yr/1M per

Magnus Hogberg-2yrs deal


The Ottawa Senators re-sign All other RFAs.


Ottawa Senators sign Sam Reinhart to a 4 yr deal worth 5.5 million per season, Nick Foligno to a 3 yr deal worth 5 million per season.


The Ottawa Senators have a slightly better record in the 2021-22 season, and end up with the 6th pick in the draft.


Ottawa wins the draft lottery and ends up landing the 1st overall pick in the 2022 draft.

2022 draft

1-Shane Wright

16-Ivan Miroshichenko

31-Marco Kasper

38-Simon Forsmark

40-Ludwig Persson

The Senators strike gold in the 2022 draft, landing Shane Wright and Ivan Miroshichenko, as well as Marco Kasper, Simon Forsmark, and Ludwig Persson.


After the 2022 draft, the Ottawa Senators make a major trade:

Ottawa Senators trade Alex Formenton, Erik Brannstrom, Sam Reinhart, 2023 1st round pick to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Patrik Laine, Boone Jenner.

This is a good trade for both teams because the Senators get a goal Patrik Laine and Boone Jenner, while the Blue Jackets get Chris Tierney, Erik Brannstrom, and Alex Formenton, and a 1st round pick.


Ottawa Senators re-sign a few players:

Josh Norris-6yrs/6.25M per 

Boone Jenner-4yrs/3.6M per

Nic Paul-3yrs/2.2M per

The Ottawa Senators re-sign All other RFAs.


The Ottawa Senators just miss out on the playoffs in the 2022-23 season and end up with the 14th pick in the draft.


Before the 2023 draft, one trade is made:

Ottawa Senators trade Nikita Zaitsev, Connor Brown to the Philadelphia Flyers for 2023 3rd rd pick, 2024 6th round pick.

This trade is a straight cap dump to get rid of Nikita Zaitsev's contract.


2023 Draft

14-Ondrej Molnar

The Ottawa Senators draft Ondrej Molnar, a talented goal-scoring winger out of Slovakia.


After the 2023 draft, one trade is made:

Ottawa Senators acquire Spencer Knight from the Florida Panthers for Aidan Hreschuk, Marco Kasper, Nic Paul, 2024 1st round pick.

The Senators get Spencer Knight from the Florida Panthers to be their goalie of the future.


Ottawa Senators re-sign a few players:

Patrik Laine-6yrs/7.5M per

Tim Stutzle-6yrs/5.5M per

Spencer Knight-5yrs/4.5M per

Jake Sanderson-6yrs/4.25M per

Jacob Bernard-Docker-4yrs/3.6M per

Simon Forsmark-2yrs/2.5M per

Joey Daccord-2yrs/1.5M per

The Ottawa Senators re-sign All other RFAs.


The Ottawa Senators cruise to a presidents' trophy in the 2023-24 season, and their first-ever Stanley Cup.


By the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators have put together a frightening team.


2024-25 Ottawa Senators

T.Stutzle-S.Wright-D.Batherson

B.Tkachuk-J.Norris-P.Laine

I.Miroshichenko-F.Svechkov-C.White

R.Greig-B.Jenner-S.Pinto

J.Sanderson-B.Clarke

T.Chabot-A.Zub

S.Forsmark-J.Bernard-Docker

S.Knight

J.Daccord

Top Prospects: O.Molnar, L.Persson, C.MacDonald, N.Chibrikov

The Ottawa Senators have now built a young and dominant team that looks like the NHL's next dynasty.

TIPS FOR DECIDING WHO TO KEEP FOR KEEPER/DYNASTY LEAGUES

Keeper fantasy leagues are a variation of traditional fantasy sports leagues where participants are allowed to keep a certain number of players from their previous season's roster onto their team for the upcoming season. The number of players that can be kept, as well as the specific rules regarding keeping players, vary from league to league and are typically determined by the league commissioner or by a set of agreed-upon rules among league members. In a keeper league, the kept players usually come with a cost, such as forfeiting a specific draft pick in the upcoming draft or having to pay a predetermined fee. This adds a strategic element to the game, as managers must decide which players to keep based on their performance, potential, and value relative to the cost of keeping them. Keeper leagues often provide a deeper level of engagement and strategy compared to standard fantasy leagues because managers need to consider long-term player development and roster management beyond ...

By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format.

2024 Offseason Preview ft. New Jersey Devils

The New Jersey Devils the playoffs in the 2023-24 season after making it into the second round of the playoffs last season, and finished the season with a total of 81 points, a 38-39-5 record; With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier in the midst of their primes, the New Jersey Devils really need to start to buckle down and put together the pieces for a contending team. The good news is that the New Jersey Devils have the benefit of having the 10th overall pick, which they could move to acquire a netminder, and they also have plenty of cap space to add other players as well. This coming offseason is a big one for the New Jersey Devils front office because after striking out on a netminder last offseason, the pressure to acquire a netminder this offseason is immense for GM Tom Fitzgerald, who might be on the hotseat if he can't find a way to fix the mess. Before the 2024 NHL Draft, the New Jersey Devils make two major trades New Jersey Devils acquire Jacob Markstrom, Matthew Coronato, 1st...
