After Ottawa made a surprising run to the conference finals, being one win away from the Cup finals. The Senators team though struggled on offense, riding the coattails of Erik Karlsson and a good run by veteran goalie Craig Anderson to get so far. On defense Ottawa will add Thomas Chabot next year and their defense is well set anyway but their offense is still lacking. Ottawa does have a solid core of forwards built around Mark Stone, Kyle Turris and Mike Hoffman but beyond that it’s not very good.
