cap strapped with no goalie and without a single playoff appearance! whew! go sens go!
Yeah, the goalie tandem is the largest weak spot on this roster by a country mile! I think the main issue this year has been health though; Forsberg has been solid when healthy (especially in the bubble season) and Sogaard has been serviceable as well. If things go well for Ottawa and everyone stays relatively healthy I think they would be alright for a legitimate playoff shot.
Keep in mind though, the reason why the Senators are cap strapped is because they're locking up their core for the future, now. Tkachuk, Norris, Stutzle, and Chabot are taking hefty chunks of the cap today, but in three years the cap will be dramatically different than it is now and those contracts will be just fine and have 3-5 more years to go. So a bit tight now, but down the stretch they'll be fine.
Besides, with goaltending being so hard to pin down it can sometimes be a surprise even when you have a good tandem on paper (VAN to start the year, PHI with Hart, FLA, CGY) or when you have a seemingly bad one (TOR, CAR in 2018-19, VGK). Heck, even both (EDM, SEA, STL).
