Silver Nuggets

Who says the season is over? If you are a Senators fan, the next week will be one that is very exciting, and possibly very important for the future of the franchise.

As the season has now finished, I'm left with a few thoughts about the season it was, and what comes next.

Now that the playoffs are over and we look ahead to the offseason, the Senators find themselves in a familiar position: waiting to learn what Daniel Alfredsson's decision is concerning his future. Looks like they won't have to wait too much longer.

After back to back seasons where he scored 12 goals in just under 50 games, is next year the year that Kyle Turris follows through on his vision for himself?

With the announcement that Joe Sakic, Patrick Roy and the rest of the Avalanche front office may pass on Seth Jones, it got me thinking about having former star players in the front office.

For a team that has been in playoff contention essentially since their first berth in 1998, the Ottawa Senators have certainly lacked when it comes to individual awards in their history. Friday's awards show that this trend could be changing.
