Silver Nuggets: Senators facing pressure free summer; Free agents come and go

Bonjour tout le monde, c'est vendredi! Le woo hoo! The Ottawa Senators do keep making a transaction every other day, which is greatly beneficial for me trying to find news! But still, it is getting a bit dry in Sens land and the season couldn't start fast enough for me. We are now less than 3 months away from the regular season opener in Detroit!

Here are today's links:
