The Senators wrapped up their amateur scouting meetings last Friday and everybody headed their separate ways before they reconvene in late-June for the annual crapshoot in Sunrise, Fla.
Between now and then there is plenty of work to be done.
It might be the off-season but as evidenced by the signing of goalie Andrew Hammond to a three-year, $4.05 million deal last week, there is no rest for the Senators as GM Bryan Murray along with assistants Pierre Dorion and Randy Lee begin shaping the franchise for next year.
Murray will be honoured by the United Way as their 2015 community builder Thursday night at a dinner and June 5 he'll be inducted into the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame.
