This past season was a disaster for the Ottawa Senators, though not near the record-breaking disasters of the team's first few years of existence. Cory Clouston was relieved of the coaching duties before the season was done, and the goaltending situation was as it always was: a graveyard. Daniel Alfredsson had his worst year since his rookie year, and as he nears 40, that isn't likely to change soon. Hall of Fame debates will certainly be there for him, but clearly, he cannot carry the team like he used to. It would help if the goaltending situation settles, and it won't be in the form of Pascal Leclaire. Another injury riddled season means he will likely be gone from the Senators when the off-season begins. Peter Regin proved that he wasn't ready to assume some of the offensive responsibilities, with only 17 points and a -4 rating.
