The Ottawa Senators got started on their offseason this week by firing head coach Dave Cameron and most of his staff. The release—via the team site—reveals new general manager Pierre Dorion is off to a quick start to what will likely be a busy summer.
The new coach will likely be someone who is known to the NHL community and may have had previous NHL head coaching experience. Although the Senators have not necessarily been a team to hire retread coaches, there may be a sense that a veteran, established coach is required for the long road ahead.
