The 2017–18 Ottawa Senators season is the 26th season of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Senators failed to return to the playoffs after advancing to the Eastern Conference Final in the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs .
Team business
The team moved their American Hockey League affiliate team, the Binghamton Senators , to Belleville, Ontario , becoming the Belleville Senators for the 2017–18 season. The AHL team plays in a refurbished Yardmen Arena , equipped with CA$20 million in upgrades.[1]
The team completed some work on the Canadian Tire Centre in time for the season. The team reduced seating in the upper bowl while adding a stage and special event areas. Team president Tom Anselmi explained the changes in part as that the Centre had too many upper bowl seats and not enough lower bowl seating. The team and Senators fans had been criticized during the 2017 playoffs for not selling out every playoff game.[2]
In January 2018, the Senators reached an agreement with the National Capital Commission government agency in Ottawa to redevelop the downtown LeBreton Flats site.[3] The site would be redeveloped for CA$3.5 billion in a partnership with private developers known as the Rendezvous Group and would include new residential buildings, public square and tourist attractions. As part of the redevelopment, the Senators would build a new ice hockey arena to replace the Canadian Tire Centre, an arena considered by many fans to be remote and having access problems. A new arena is not expected to open before 2022.[4]
In February 2018, team president Anselmi resigned his position with the Senators without explanation.[5] The same day, the Senators extended the contract of general manager Pierre Dorion by three years, given the task by owner Melnyk to rebuild the team as necessary.[6]
Off-season
On June 14, 2017, the Senators announced that long-time winger Chris Neil would not be re-signed and he became a free agent on July 1.[7] Neil had played over 1000 games for the Senators since being drafted by the team in 1998, accumulating 2522 penalty minutes during this time, the 20th most of any player in league history. Neil would not be signed by any other NHL team and he chose to retire. He was honoured by the Senators with a ceremony at the January 25, 2018, Senators' home game.
On July 1, 2017, former Senators team captain Daniel Alfredsson announced he was stepping down in his role as Senior Advisor of Hockey Operations. He stated he wanted to take a complete break from the game to spend time with his family. Alfredsson held the role for two seasons. [8]
The team had a significant turnover in personnel. Senators did not resign forwards Chris Kelly , Tommy Wingels or Viktor Stalberg , and lost Clarke MacArthur to long-term injury related to his ongoing issues with concussions. Defenceman Marc Methot was lost to the Vegas Golden Knights in the expansion draft. Kelly would later join the Senators' Belleville affiliate. The Senators signed free agents Johnny Oduya and Nate Thompson .
Pre-season
On June 16, 2017, the Senators announced their pre-season schedule. They played a six-game schedule starting September 18, including a home-and-home set against their provincial rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs , and a game against the New Jersey Devils in O'Leary, Prince Edward Island as part of Kraft Hockeyville on September 25.[9] The team also played two games against their closest geographical rival, the Montreal Canadiens , and one game against the Winnipeg Jets .
Regular season
The Senators' home opener was against the Washington Capitals on October 5. On November 10 and November 11, the Senators played two games against the Colorado Avalanche in Stockholm , Sweden. This marked the first time an NHL regular season game has been played outside of North America since 2011.
The Senators made a major trade on November 5, 2018. The team traded Kyle Turris , Andrew Hammond , Shane Bowers and draft picks to the Colorado Avalanche for Matt Duchene , who had requested a trade from the Avalanche.[10] Turris was moved by the Avalanche to the Nashville Predators in a second phase of the deal. Turris had been in unsuccessful salary negotiations with the Senators and turned down a contract offer from the Senators which was similar to one he accepted from the Predators.[11] Hammond had been playing for the Senators' minor league Belleville team, and the Senators wanted to clear his contract. Hammond would remain with Belleville after the trade and was eventually elevated by the Avalanche. Bowers was the Senators' 2017 first round entry draft pick, playing in NCAA ice hockey.
To mark the NHL's centennial, the Senators hosted the "NHL 100 Classic " outdoor game on December 16 at TD Place Stadium in Ottawa. The game between Ottawa and the Montreal Canadiens comes nearly 100 years after the first game of the NHL's 1917–18 season , between the Ottawa Senators and the Montreal Canadiens. The regular season game was also a Canada 150 event. The stadium's capacity was increased with temporary stands, which were also used for the 105th Grey Cup game to be held a few weeks earlier. The Senators had hoped to host the event on Parliament Hill , but the Government of Canada decided it was not feasible. An alumni game was held at an NHL-sized rink installed on Parliament Hill. In the 100 Classic, the Senators defeated the Canadiens 3–0. The game was preceded by controversial comments by owner Eugene Melnyk about the team's attendance, the move to Lebreton Flats and a possible move of the team.
The Senators began the season without captain Erik Karlsson, who had had off-season surgery, and he returned late in October, at less than 100%, but the team managed to have a winning record in October. After the trade for Duchene, the Senators played the games against the Avalanche in Sweden, winning both. The rest of November was unkind, as the Senators then lost seven in a row, one in overtime. December was also a losing month, as the Senators had five-game and four-game losing streaks and won only one game of eight on the road. January saw the Senators lose six in a row, the first time the team had lost six in a row in regulation since 1996.[12]
As the trade deadline of February 26 approached, the Senators were still well outside of a playoff spot. After having his contract extended, general manager Dorion went to work to rebuild the roster. The Senators traded Chris DiDomenico to the Chicago Blackhawks and Dion Phaneuf and Nate Thompson to the Los Angeles Kings . Derick Brassard went to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a three-team swap with the Vegas Golden Knights . Defenceman Johnny Oduya went to the Philadelphia Flyers via waivers.
Playoffs
The Senators were eliminated from playoff contention on March 22, 2018.[1]
