Guy Boucher, Bruce Boudreau, and the Way Forward

There are a lot of unknowns facing the Sens, but I'm cautiously optimistic

2015-16 was not a memorable season for the Ottawa Senators. No one will look back on it as a significant time in the franchise's history. The Sens acquired Dion Phaneuf, a player who can plug into the top four for now. The team traded away Shane Prince, which isn't the kind of move that makes or breaks a franchise's trajectory.The team failed to make the playoffs, fired their coach after just one full season, finally gave up on Jared Cowen, and saw Bryan Murray step down as GM after nine years.
