Senators Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
The Senators are expected to have two or three big holes to fill in the offseason.
It's unlikely they'll be able to afford physical defensemen Anton Volchenkov and Andy Sutton, both of who are eligible to test the unrestricted free agent market July 1.

GM Bryan Murray says he expects prospects Patrick Wiercioch and Jared Cowen, a pair of 19-year-olds, to be capable of playing with Ottawa by the second half of next season. That's a little ambitious. Either way, he'll have to find a couple of blue liners off the free agent heap to bridge the gap until Wiercioch and Cowen are ready.
