First of all, it would be Brock Boeser. Here is a tough winger with a proven track record of goal scoring and he’s able to be responsible. Another type of alternative would be Jordan Kyrou from the St. Louis Blues. When you think of a player of his speed and skill, you began to realize who really benefits the Ottawa Senators. It just goes to show that they are a very deep and well-structured team. Thus, keeping themselves in the playoff picture this late in the season.
In any sense, the Ottawa Senators are team that would love to add some scoring depth for the postseason. However, they do have a few aspects that really hamper their ability to get things done. First of all, it is their depth beyond their top six when it comes to putting in the puck in the net. Yes, they are very good players, but they need to get the job done. Secondly, it does seem like injury problems have snuck up on the Senators when you have a two-week break and names like Jacob Bernard-Docker, Shane Pinto, Joshua Norris and Brady Tkachuk are (at least initially) missing from the lineup. We’re not saying that it is a problem, but it could be a problem. So, how is management going to fix and address such an issue. That will be to be decided.
