The Ottawa Senators ranked eighth in the NHL for goals scored last season, but GM Steve Staios aims to enhance their offensive firepower following Brady Tkachuk’s departure. The team acquired William Eklund and Andre Burakovsky to fill the gap, while still eyeing free agents like Vladimir Tarasenko. Core players Drake Batherson and Artem Zub are extension-eligible, and Staios is keen to retain them before the new CBA limits contract lengths. Additionally, the Senators may carry three goaltenders, including Leevi Merilainen, to avoid waivers.
