Departures

The Senators have allowed a few players to walk in order to test the open market. While they can bring them back, it doesn’t seem like they will attempt to.

The biggest departure from the Senators 2019-20 roster that is no longer apart of the team is probably Anthony Duclair who represented the prganization at the all-star game. He scored 23 goals and added 17 assists on top of that for 40 points.

Duclair’s departure was a bit of a mess on both ends as he fired his agent when he didn’t have a contract and the Senators failed to tender him one making him an unrestricted free agent. He still doesn’t have a contract for the upcoming season.

The Senators moved on from their longtime goalie in Craig Anderson after he spent the past 10 seasons with the team. He went 11-17-2 in 2020 with a GAA of 3.25 and a save percentage of .902. He also failed to record a shutout for the first time in his Senators tenure. He is currently a free agent as well.

While Ron Hainsey didn’t make much of an impact on the offensive side of the puck (one goal and 11 assists), his defense can’t be denied as he blocked 102 shots.

One player that played on the Senators last season and signed a new contract is Mark Borowiecki. He registered 18 points with 120 blocks and 199 hits. He signed with the Nashville Predators on a two year deal worth $4 million.
