Are the Ottawa Senators done adding to their roster, or should they look to acquire some more talent?
Brandon Piller and Ross Levitan take a look at some possible targets for the Sens! Rutger McGroarty did not attend Winnipeg Jets Dev Camp and is on the trade block, is he someone the Sens would target and can they afford it? We also look at some veteran 4th line forwards and possible right shot defensemen for the bottom pair.

Hey Pillzy… where's the fancy new mic?
I read that Montréal could be interested by Mc Groarty!!!
I love that Jorian Donovan has prior connections with both the old regime through his dad and the new regime through the Bulldogs
Staios has clearly been targeting guys with a lot of character. Demanding a trade because you don't want to pay your dues in the AHL seems like something that he'd consider a red flag.
"A lot of runway. The Jets would love to have him." Pilzy dropping puns!
Adam Fox went for two 2nds. Teams that are on the clock are facing a dwindling asset. And the longer they don't trade him, the more bad blood with the player and the more likely complaints will surface that can diminish his value.
I'd like to see Steve add Shattenkirk and Clutterbuck. Then I think our lineup is pretty decent. Keeping expectations in check this offseason
Nah, I'd take Yak over McGroarty all day. If McGroarty was a better skater, maybe. Still a guy I'd target though.
Mcgroarty sounds good on paper but it’s the attitude and how is he with the guys in the dressing room. They got rid of Chykrun for similar reasons. We have been screwed a few times. Tough call.
Buttger McThroaty
Don’t forget we still have to forfeit our 2025 or 2026 1st round pick (thanks, Pierre). We simply don’t have the assets to trade for a guy like McGroarty. IF we traded a 1st and a prospect for him, look at this:
2022 – No 1st round pick (DeBrincat)
2023 – No 1st round pick (Chychrun)
2024 – Carter Yakemchuk
2025 – No 1st round pick (McGroarty)
2026 – No 1st round pick (forfeit)
I guess McGroarty would make up for one of the missed picks. But still.
I wouldn’t even consider trading for McGroarty. He clearly thinks he is bigger than his team and I just wouldn’t want a guy like that in the lineup, especially if it means giving up a first and a prospect. If they do it that’s fine, but I’m not tripping over other teams to get a deal done
Jets aren't going to want future draft picks when their competitive window is open now. Most other teams would likely be willing to give up their first next year, plus a better prospect than we can offer, regardless.
Also don't think we should be dealing our 1st next year with our 2026 pick likely forfeited.
I think Ridly Greig would hold huge appeal for the Jets in this deal, and likely the cost of doing business here. We're strong at C and have two other studs from that 2020 class already. I'd do it.
I wouldn't mind Adam Boqvist
MacEwen shouldn't battle to be in the lineup, he should simply not be in the lineup!
Could JVR be a fit with the Senators?
Won’t touch McGroarty with a ten foot pole. I’m just tired of drama. We got rid of all that and you want another shitty situation?
I can see a lot of people in the comments have done 0 research on the McGroarty situation. THis isn't the case of some kid thinking he's a hot shot and too good to play in the AHL.
The Winnipeg Jets purposely didn't want to sign him and have him play not only so they can "save money" but because they were also "competing for home ice advantage" Imagine being a top prospect that could be ready to be a good 3rd liner in the NHL right now have the team that drafted you tell you that you can't play and it has nothing to do with our talent.
On top of the fact that he's seeing Cole Perfetti scratched in favor of vets, you could see how that would make playing there significantly less desirable right?
Doesn't matter that Crookshank had to play 3 years in the AHL or Drake Batherson had to spend 2 years there, if you can play in the league you should have a fair shot. He's not going to get that in Winnipeg.
I'd happily offer 2025 1st + Jarvientie OR Sogaard if thats' what gets it done. You have someone who can be a very good middle 6er for us for the next 3 years on an ELC, probably bridge him 2-3 years for 3-4m and decide what to do with him after. By all accounts is a great leader as well (was also captain of the gold medal wining USA WJC team this year)
