Look at Kyle Turris' past, and hopefully a projection to his future.
Kyle Turris is going to be a very important part of the Senators organization for years to come. The magnitude of his importance, though, remains to be seen.
Goalie of the future, watch him go! The best goalie prospect the Ottawa Senators have ever had.
Jakob Silfverberg looked like he was ready for NHL action last season, but elected to return to Sweden for another year. It looks to have been a wise decision.
Gone but certainly not forgotten, Jared Cowen won't suit up for the Ottawa Senators this season and he will be sorely missed. He is already one of the best defencemen on this team, and he just turned 22.
Mika Zibanejad has had a bit of an adventure since being drafted sixth overall at the 2011 NHL entry draft, but he is now giving fans reason for optimism.
Cody Ceci was the first-round draft choice of the Ottawa Senators last summer, and he shot up the prospect depth chart and stands at the seventh spot.

Jean-Gabriel Pageau was taken in the fourth round by the Senators back in the 2011 draft and has already made the jump to the AHL. The bigger question is what's to come.
Coming in at number eighteen on our Top 25 Under 25 is a current roster player: defenceman Mark Borowiecki.
One of the more surprising names to crack this list comes in at the twentieth spot: Swedish defenceman Mikael Wikstrand. The Mora defender is playing in Sweden's second-tier Allsvenskan, but looks to challenge for a roster spot in years to come.
