The Ottawa Senators, who are currently out of playoff contention, are expected to be sellers at the upcoming NHL trade deadline in 2024. The potential targets for the Senators, specifically focusing on acquiring a top-four, right-handed defenseman during the offseason rather than before the trade deadline.
One potential target is Matt Roy from the Los Angeles Kings, who has shown promising performance alongside Vladislav Gavrikov. Alexandre Carrier, another candidate, brings experience and versatility to the table, though the timing of his acquisition may depend on Nashville’s status as sellers.
Sean Durzi, currently with the Arizona Coyotes, presents a strong option with his consistent performance and potential for growth. Finally, Sean Walker of the Philadelphia Flyers offers another solid option for the Senators, albeit with competition from other teams for his services.
While these players may not be available for immediate acquisition, they represent valuable offseason targets for the Senators to bolster their defensive lineup. Additionally, the article mentions the possibility of addressing defensive needs internally through existing players like Max Guenette, Jacob Bernard-Docker, Lassi Thomson, and Tyler Kleven, which could provide cost savings and preserve prospects for the team.
