This thread is designed for us Sens fans to make an objective assessment of the moves that Dorion makes this offseason. To begin with we will compare the Senators rosters in the 2016-2017 ECF run with the projected roster for the 2018-2019 season. The assumption is that on paper the team needs to be as good as the ECF team to have any chance at a similar result. Additionally given the fact that the objective is for the Sens to be respectable and serious cup contenders we should expect that the roster for the 2018-2019 season should on paper be better than the ECF run.
2016-2017 ECF Roster
MacArthur-Brassard-Ryan
Hoffman-Turris-Stone
Smith-Pageau-Dzingel
Stalberg-Wingels-Burrows
Pyatt, Neil
Methot-Karlsson
Phaneuf-Ceci
Wideman-Boroweicki
Claesson,Harpur
Anderson
Condon
2018-2019 Projected Roster
Hoffman-Duchene-Stone
Dzingel-Pageau-Ryan
Smith-McMormick-Pyaty
Burrows-?-Gaborik
?-Karlsson
Chabot-Ceci
?-Borowiecki
Claesson,Harpur
Anderson
Condon
There are possibilities of trades and buyouts (Burrows, Gaborik). Internally we have some players that are somewhat close to push for roster spots such as: 2018 1st round pick (4th overall), Colin White, Filip Chalpik, Logan Brown, Nick Paul, Gabriel Gagne, Drake Batherson, Alex Formenton, Aaron Luchuk, Christian Wolanin, Christian Jaros, Mikael Wikstrtand (questionable).
Given the possibility of free agents, trades, buyouts and promotion of prospects what would make the 2018-2019 roster as good as the ECF run and what would make it better?
