While the Ottawa Senators have a number of top young prospects in their system, adding some experienced free agents could help provide some depth and plug holes while the team lets their prospects season in the minors.
A number of teams around the NHL have begun to snap up promising free agents from a number of leagues across Europe, including the Finnish Liiga, SHL in Sweden and the KHL.
So far, Senators general manager Pierre Dorion has made no such moves – but should seriously consider making some before the best players available are taken.
