S5 E20: Are the Ottawa Senators a playoff calibre team next season?

On this week's episode of The Senstennial Podcast, we discuss Ottawa's back-to-back wins against the New Jersey Devils and Edmonton Oilers, the improved play of some of Ottawa's core players like Thomas Chabot and Drake Batherson, and Angus Crookshank emerging as a solid depth scorer. We also discuss what we believe can turn the Sens into a playoff calibre team next season, and who we think is the best coaching candidate to turn the Senators' fortunes back in the right direction for next season.

Sens ship out Vladimir Tarasenko ft. The Ottawa Sun's Tim Baines

In today's episode, Tim and Host Matt discussed the controversial trade of Ottawa Senators forward Vladimir Tarasenko to the Florida Panthers, and reactions to Steve Staios' first trade as General Manager of the Sens. We discuss whether the Sens could have held out for a better deal, or if Tarasenko's no-trade clause (NTC) tied Staios' hands. We also discuss other Sens players who could be moved at the trade deadline such as Jakob Chychrun or Erik Brannstrom. Finally, we touch on the season-ending injury to Josh Norris, how this affects the Ottawa Senators going forward, and another year of looking forward to the NHL Entry Draft.

S5 E16: Fortifying the Crease: How can the Ottawa Senators fix their goaltending carousel?

On this week's episode of The Senstennial Podcast, we discuss Ottawa's goaltending issues, and whether the Sens should consider buying out Joonas Korpisalo this summer, or hope that he can turn things around for next season. We also discuss what happens with Anton Forsberg once his contract expires, and who might be some realistic goaltending targets that the Sens pursue in either 2024 or 2025. We compare the current iteration of the Senators with teams who had similar issues, and debate the shifting of Ottawa's playoff "window." Finally, we take a look at some of the issues regarding the play of Josh Norris, Drake Batherson, and Brady Tkachuk, and what we expect to see from them going forward.
