2025 Ottawa Senators Report Cards - Reader Voting
It's time for us to evaluate a good hockey team for a change.
For the first time since 2017, we're not doing this in April. I could cry tears of joy.
Welcome to another edition of Silver Seven's End-of-Season Report Cards! As mentioned a few words ago, the staff and readers will be evaluating the members of a playoff team after years of incompetence. Of course, said playoff team lost in the first round, and it sure wasn't because they were all perfect.
Criteria for our grades will vary – spoiler alert – I'll be giving Adam Gaudette a higher mark than most of the other forwards. Yes, he's a fourth-liner and nowhere near as talented as Ottawa's core players, but he also makes 10% of their salary. With great power comes great responsibility, after all, and with great responsibility comes a bigger opportunity to underperform. And let me tell you, I'm not going to put the blame for Ottawa being worse offensively than the likes of Montreal, Columbus, Seattle and Pittsburgh, solely on Travis Green.
Anyway, this piece is to allow you guys to have your say, not for my incoherent ranting, so here's the link to the Google Form. We're closing the poll at 12:00 pm EST on Wednesday, May 14th, so get your votes in before then!
