All is not well for the Ottawa Senators. They entered 2017-18 expecting to take another run at the Stanley Cup. Instead, the franchise has endured a down year, both on the ice and off it.
Owner Eugene Melnyk is under siege as the campaign comes to a close. It’s unclear if the Senators will be able to re-sign all-world defenseman Erik Karlsson to an extension this summer; the possibility of hitting free agency next year could force Ottawa to trade him.
Despite not making the playoffs, Ottawa has only one guaranteed pick in the first three rounds of the upcoming draft — a first-round pick that originally belonged to the postseason-bound Pittsburgh Penguins — and there are also rumblings of relocation.
All of these massive issues have overshadowed what would otherwise be a prevalent
Reid Boucher Womens Jersey storyline surrounding the franchise, and that’s the future of Matt Duchene in Ottawa. The forward, of course, arrived in a three-way trade back in November. The culture cleanse in Colorado has pushed the Avalanche toward

While the swap hasn’t worked out quite as well for the Senators, Duchene
Riley Nash Jersey is still one of the top assets on the team, and with a contract set to expire in 2019, there’s work to be done on that front. The forward will be coming off a five-year deal which carried a $6 million cap hit, and it’s safe to assume he’ll get a solid raise off that number.
Is it a raise the

http://www.ingeniasl.com/kyler-fackrell-jersey-c-1_24.html dole out, though? If there is resistance to paying one of the best offensive defensemen in the NHL what he’s worth, why would negotiations with Duchene go more smoothly? The Karlsson situation has set up a dangerous precedent in Ottawa, and regardless of whether he re-signs, it’s clear what the organization’s stance is on paying players what they’ve earned.
