2010-2011 Ottawa Senators
David Booth - Jason Spezza - Daniel Alfredsson
Milan Michalek - Mike Fisher - Alexei Kovalev
Nick Foligno - Peter Regin - T.J. Galiardi
Jarkko Ruutu - Chris Kelly - Chris Neil
Extra: Jesse Winchester, Ryan Shannon
Chris Phillips - Erik Karlsson
Trevor Daley - Andy Sutton
Chris Campoli - Matt Carkner
Brian Elliott
Pascal Leclaire
We feel that we have one of the best forward cores in the league, with a good balance of both youth and veteran experience. The addition of David Booth provides us with more options within the top-six, and playing alongside Spezza we see Booth as being able to pot 30 goals easily.
Our defense may look weak, but we feel that we have a great balance on defense in that we have an offensive defenseman placed with a defensive defenseman. Phillips, Sutton and Carkner will all provide a solid defensive presence, while allowing Karlsson, Daley and Campoli to play their offensive games.
Our goaltending problems have finally been solved, with Brian Elliott grabbing the number one reins, Leclaire will be shopped in order for him to go to a better situation.
Prospects Update:
While we dealt away some depth within our prospect pool in Jared Cowen, Jim O'Brien, Brian Lee and Ilya Zubov, we feel that we have an above average influx of talent coming through the pipeline, with Bjugstad, Caporusso and Petersson all projected to pan out as top-six forwards, and Patrick Wiercioch becoming our closet defense prospect to being NHL ready. Robin Lehner will most likely be playing in Binghamton next season, after a solid first year in North America, and he will look to continue his play that has made many dub him as the goaltender of the future in Ottawa.
Top Prospects:
1) Patrick Wiercioch (D)
2) Nick Bjugstad (RW)
3) Robin Lehner (G)
4) Louie Caporusso (C)
5) Jakob Silfverberg (LW/RW)
6) Zach Smith (C)
7) Andre Petersson (LW)
8) Corey Trivino (C)
9) Chris Wideman (D)
10) Eric Gryba (D)

We would love to hear about how others think we made out this offseason, comments are much appreciated!
The Stars have acquired Sheldon Souray from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Karlis Skrastins, Alex Chiasson, and a 1st round pick next summer.
This completes our roster:
We feel we have one of the best top 6s in the league, in addition to a solid 3rd line that includes the two highest all-time point scorers among active players who will both help Glennie adjust to the NHL. Our 4th line includes 3 excellent workers.
Our defense is significantly upgraded with the additions of Kaberle and Souray.
In net, we now have a legitimate top 10 goaltender, along with an extremely solid backup.
Thoughts?
You should be. I had no other options, and they're all parts I don't need in this game, so I figured, what the hell.
Capitals add Jan Hedja and others.

Forgot to announce the Capitals have also signed LW Fernado Piasni 1 year 1.3 million, he's having a tough time but we feel he would be a good fit on the 3 rd line with Lars Eller and Cody Hodgson,Fernado was amazing for the Oilers in the 2006 cup run and we feel if he plays anywhere near the level he will be considered a bargain.

We feel are top 6 didn't change much,but we feel we have a stronger bottom 6 Hodgson and Eller are both two of the best prospects there are out there and we feel there both NHL ready,while are 4 th line is a great shutdown defenceman.
Are D-core looks worse on paper,but we feel it's more stable,Hedja is a top 10 shutdown defenceman in the game,Burns who was once considered a potential franchise defenceman,injures have slowed Brent down but he's still has great potential.
Are Goaltending is vastly improved,Kipper is a top 10 if not a top 5 goalie in the game and we feel he's going to be great on a great Washington team,Neuvirth is a solid back-up who will play 15+ games this year.
Top 10 prospects:
1.Cody Hodgson
2.John Carlsson
3.Lars Eller

We feel this is one of the best prospect pools in the game,half of these players will be impact players on our team this year,we feel no other team can contend with are top 6 prospects.

nod I think they have taken a step back
Your offense is weaker and your D has 2 ? marks in it. Burns has not progressed and has been effected by his concussions and is a major risk moving forward and Bieksa as you would probably admit (I think you will agree) has shown some inconsistant play this year for Canucks. I would worry about the possibility he has peaked.
Nice farm and the goaltending is better but much like the team they lost to in Finals
Still a cup contender and a top team but not as strong as they were
