2007-2008 NHL Season Preview - Ottawa Senators
Notable moves and changes: Fired GM John Muckler, replaced with head coach Brian Murray. Announced promotion of John Paddock to head coach.
Starting goalie: Ray Emery
Summary of last year: While they didn’t compare to other seasons in terms of standings, Ottawa focused on what they needed to do, made the playoffs and cruised to the Stanley Cup Final where they fell to the Ducks.
Prediction for this year: Getting to the Finals is no easy task, and Ottawa, while disappointed in the outcome, is smartly sticking with the same core team: Dany Heatley, Jason Spezza, Daniel Alfredsson, and so on. As they should. The front office shuffle was enough summer activity for any team to endure. With all the politics out of the way, the path is clear for another run for the Cup.
