Depth on defence was a necessity for the Ottawa Senators. Oduya comes in as a near perfect replacement for Methot. However, with Oduya coming in it means someone loses their spot. The Sens now have seven defenceman signed to one-way contracts and that’s not counting Thomas Chabot or Ben Harpur who both will be making a push to make the team. Even if the team carries seven defencemen then there will still be two who can’t make it. Who is on the outs?
Right Handed D Should Be Safe
The Sens are filled to the brim with defencemen on the left side.
