Senators projections

Équipe: 2023-24 Sénateurs d'Ottawa

Date de création initiale: 7 mai 2023

Publié: 7 mai 2023

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Alright - 1st Line: Stutzle, Tkachuk, Schamltz can all get goals and assists, making it one of the best 1st lines.

2nd line - Lawson Crouse and Norris both get goals, with an elite playmaker in Batherson setting them up. Batherson should up his scoring with Norris coming back.

3rd line- Pinto will be one of the best 3C's in the league. Obviously Giroux would be the best 3RW in the league and Greig can put up points.

4th line - This is the big boys shutdown unit. Kastelic and Gauthier are big bodies that can have a little but of production and I expect the 6'4 LW Smejkal to be a good shutdown guy.

Defence - Basically no changes here. Sanderson is our premier defence and will be ELITE, Chychrun and Chabot should also be elite if they can stay healthy. Zub is a dependable 4th D, Brannstrom is an elite 3rd pairing guy and Kleven/JBD should round out the group.

Goalies - Honestly, Forsberg is very stellar if he can stay healthy, and Sogaard should be improving. If forsberg gets injured we trade for a Korpisalo type goalie.
