The Ottawa Senators made big changes in their comms department by hiring Ian Mendes and Sylvain St-Laurent, who both covered the team in this market for a long time. Former first-rounder Colin White remains an unrestricted free agent, and his phone doesn't appear to be ringing. Could that be the end of the line for a player who was once such a highly ranked (and well-paid) prospect in the organization? White was chosen 21st overall in 2015 with many Ottawa fans yelling they should have taken Travis Konecny (who went 24th to Philly). Trivia: Who are the only four Ottawa 67s drafted by the Senators?

Welcome to the latest episode of the Sens Nation Podcast! In our latest edition, we dive into the Senators' latest trades and signings.
First, we discuss Shane Pinto's re-signing to a modest two-year contract and the dumping of Mathieu Joseph to clear space for the Pinto signing.
We get into the big deal that sent defenceman Jakob Chychrun to the Washington Capitals in exchange for Nick Jensen and a third-round pick in 2026. What does this mean for both teams and the players involved?
Then, we analyze the Ottawa Senators' recent moves, including the signing of free-agent winger David Perron and the acquisitions of Michael Amadio and Noah Gregor to strengthen their bottom six.
Additionally, we cover the Senators' decisions not to qualify Erik Brannstrom and Parker Kelly, who subsequently became unrestricted free agents.
Join us as we break down these moves and more in this episode of the Sens Nation Podcast, brought to you by Jim Keay Ford!
