The 2010-11 Ottawa Senators were a disaster the likes that were matched only by the first years of the franchise. To that end, the Senators decided to go into the youth movement head first for this coming season. Jason Spezza will have to assume more of a leadership role since Daniel Alfredsson is nearing the end of his career and coming off of back surgery in the off-season. Spezza is the best offensive threat on the team right now, and knows a thing or two about playoff success. Goaltending was a problem for much of last season, and it wasn't until mid-season acquisition Craig Anderson arrived that the Sens showed signs of life. Ottawa is notoriously tough on goaltenders, so it will be interesting to see which Anderson shows up: the one that struggled in Colorado last year or the one the Senators got to see on a daily basis. Former first round pick Nikita Filatov didn't quite find his game in Columbus, but he has pledged to be ready when the Senators take the ice on opening night. If he can find his offense, then the Senators will have a steal on their hands.
Prediction: 15th in East
Movie: Demons
In the Lamberto Bava movie, all hell breaks loose in a mysterious theater when the events of the movie begin to be mirrored within the theater itself. The Senators' youth movement may be a mirror of the chaos that will undoubtedly be there this season.
