After the Senators acquired Alex DeBrincat and Claude Giroux to bolster their forward corps, no one could have blamed Senators fans for waiting for the shoe to drop. When are the Senators going to address their blue line? Maybe I’m being greedy here, but the longer this summer drags on, the easier it is to wonder whether the organization is comfortable taking what they have into training camp.
If I was to make a wild guess, the 2nd rounder acquired from Washington was potentially part of a package for Marino, but for whatever reason the Penguins went with New Jersey's off rather than the Sens' proposal.
Nice work Graeme. Just incredible that Dorion traded for a d-man just months ago with worse metrics than Zaitsev. He's had a great summer but that deal gives me zero confidence they are capable of bringing the right guy in.
I would have been very confident Sanderson would succeed in his rookie year, but that wrist injury (like the earlier shoulder injury) scares me. He has some height but needed to build strength this off-season, and I wonder how limited he was in the weight room.
My gut tells me he won't be a significant factor this year. But take that with a grain of salt. I'm a superstitious pessimist always hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
