The season wrapped up and the players bid their farewells but not before generating a flurry of headlines.
As you were getting ready for and then enjoying your busy weekend, you couldn't possibly have been expected to keep up on all the Senators' news and information over the past week. But now that Monday is here, you need things to help distract you from actual work. So it's a perfect time to catch up on the news in Sens Nation.
Here's what you might have missed over the last few days.
It will be difficult to keep both Thomas Chabot and Jakob Chychrun. And even if everyone wanted it, it might not be smart to do so. So who should/will they keep?
Asked about staying in Ottawa longer-term, Chychrun replied that he hadn't thought about it.
Claude Giroux was asked about the kind of coach the Senators need and warned that no coach has a magic formula to turn things around.
GM Steve Staios gave us plenty to chew on at his season-ender with the media.
- Update on the coaching search, and what will become of the current staff
- His view on what Tim Stutzle most needs to improve on
- The Coles notes version of everything Staios had to say
