The Ottawa Senators are facing a thrilling roster crunch ahead of the 2026-27 season. Claude Giroux re-signed for one year, but Daniel Alfredsson's shocking move to the Toronto Maple Leafs has Sens Nation buzzing. We break down the biggest position battles, starting with the crease.

In goal, Linus Ullmark leads, but Samuel Ersson and Leevi Merilainen are fighting for the backup role. Up front, Drake Batherson and Claude Giroux anchor the right wing, while William Eklund and Fabian Zetterlund compete for top-six minutes. On defense, Jake Sanderson and Thomas Chabot lead a young group, with Tyler Kleven and Lassi Thomson battling for the final spot.

We also predict who gets sent down, who's trending up, and who could be claimed on waivers. Plus, we revisit our playoff and Giroux goal predictions. The season opener against the Maple Leafs on October 3rd just got even more interesting.
