The Wikipedia page for the Ottawa Senators lists the rebuild as taking place from “2011-present”. It’s kind of funny that now in the sixth year of the three-year rebuild, we still don’t have a new name for this era of the Sens. We’re supposed to be excited about pieces like Colin White and Logan Brown and Thomas Chabot, but not that long ago we were waiting for Mika Zibanejad and Jakob Silfverberg and David Rundblad.
Way back in 2011, Bryan Murray announced that the Senators were going to trade some significant pieces and start a rebuild.
