Now that the NHL Draft is over, it’s time to turn our attention towards Free Agency.
Brandon Piller and Ross Levitan present a 23 man roster for the Ottawa Senators with some blank spaces that need to be filled be free agents. We each draft our top 5 realistic free agents that we think could help this team. Can the Sens fill their bottom six spots internally, will a goalie be acquired through trade or free agency are some of the discussions we have. Also rumour is that the New York Islanders are interested in Alex DeBrincat, iOS there a fit there?

James Reimer. That's the big one I want to see Ottawa sign in free-agency. Give him 3-3.25M on a 1 year deal. He's not the best, but will give you consistent goaltending. We have seen you don't need a prime name goaltender to win the cup. Just consistency is good enough so don't overspend between the pipes and fill in with depth.
Gotta admit…watching you guys more now that 1200 has the US feed. My guess – Ottawa will be targeting Laurent Brossoit & Evan Rodrigues, while essentially renting ADB to play out the year (at the discount) for the playoff push.
Can you guys do a status update of all our prospects we’ve drafted in the years past and where they are currently and their future.
I would like to see Ridly Grieg with Pinto and Joseph (?)and Ryan Reaves on the 4th line. I would trade Joseph and bring up Sokolov. I would keep Brannstrom and trade for Tyson Barrie if Hamonic walks. For Debrincat spot, i would love to see a 3-team trade with Detroit and Arizona where the Sens get Lawson Crouse, the Wings get Debrincat, and Detroit gives up picks and prospects to Arizona. So my lineup looks like this:
Tkachuk-Stutzle-Giroux
Crouse-Norris-Batherson
Grieg-Pinto-Sokolov
Kelly-Kastellic-Reaves
Sanderson-Chychrun
Chabot-Zub
Brannstrom-Hamonic
Reimer
Forsberg
How do we feel about Domi? Idk if we don't get Bertuzzi, I'm really digging Domi for 2-3 years at like 4-5 mill
Wouldn’t Blake Wheeler look nice in Sens colours?
“I’m Brady Tkachuk and you’re listening to the Locked on Senators Podcast.” Added to your intro is your challenge for the start of the season
Tough to know who to target during free agency before knowing what return they get for Cat
Very unsure of Kelly on that bottom line. He's a serviceable 4th liner for a meh team, but not for a contender. I'll take Crooker or Smejkal over him at this point
Those trades were made due to cap space, which the Sens have to be careful with.
I'd like to see a battle to the death among Kleven, JBD, Branny, Hammer, Lassi, Matinpalo, a PTO, and anyone else they can think of for the bottom pair D. For the forwards I pretty much agree with everything you guys said. No mention of Brassard though so do you guys think he's done?
Awesome news about the Glebe Central Pub!
Garrioch hyping Korpisalo for Sens. I'm a maybe on that one.
Blake Wheeler all day now that he has been bought out!
R Smith had a NTC and was never coming to Canada
Why no love for Bunting
(LW)Connor Sheary, Pius Suter, (RW) Connor Brown, (RD)Connor Clifton, and (G) Logan Thompson
I think no matter what the Sens should target Reaves for the physicality, vibes, name recognition, and low cap hit. I also like Killorn as the DeBrincat replacement but that all depends on what the return is. I'm not sold on Freddy Andersen though, he's getting old and those numbers are not good for a guy playing on the 2nd best team in the league.
I'm gonna go out on a wild card. Say girouxs gonna bring in some old buds like James van riemsdyk or shayne gostisbehre
