NHL hockey team season
The 2010β11 Ottawa Senators season was the team's
19th season of operation in the
National Hockey League (NHL).
[1] The Senators posted a regular season record of 32 wins, 40 losses and 10 overtime/shootout losses for 74 points, failing to qualify for the
Stanley Cup playoffs for the second time in three seasons. After falling to last place in the
Eastern Conference by the end of January, the Senators started a rebuild, trading away several veterans for draft choices. Head coach
Cory Clouston was fired at the end of the season.
Off-season
Early in the off-season, the Senators signed several players including summer development camp attendee
Colin Greening on April 28 and
Binghamton Senators forward
Ryan Keller on May 19, as well as goaltender
Mike Brodeur on May 26. After some media speculation, the Senators also bought-out
Jonathan Cheechoo 's contract on June 29 after he cleared waivers, making Cheechoo a free agent.
[2]
At the
Entry Draft , the Senators traded their first-round pick to the
St. Louis Blues for defenceman
David Rundblad , who had been the Blues' first-round pick (17th overall) in the
2009 Draft . Having now previously traded their first, second- and fifth-round picks, the Senators picked
Jakub Culek in the third round (76th overall),
Marcus Sorensen in the fourth round (106th overall),
Mark Stone in the sixth round (178th overall) and Bryce Aneloski in the seventh round (196th overall).
Throughout July, the Senators made various signings. On July 13, they signed Swiss forward and
2004 Senator draft pick
Roman Wick to a one-year, entry-level contract, and re-signed
Derek Smith to a one-year contract. On July 22, they re-signed forward
Cody Bass to a one-year, two-way contract and forward
Mike Hoffman to a one-year, entry-level contract.
Having fired Goaltending Coach
Eli Wilson in January, the Senators signed former goaltender
Rick Wamsley as goaltending coach on July 27. His most recent job was interim head coach of the St. Louis Blues'
American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the
Peoria Rivermen . He had at one time been
Pascal Leclaire 's goaltending coach with the
Columbus Blue Jackets .
[3]
On August 5, the Senators re-signed Binghamton defenceman
Geoff Kinrade to a one-year, two-way contract as well as signing forward and local prospect
Corey Cowick to an entry-level contract. Cowick was an assistant captain with Ottawa's
Ontario Hockey League (OHL) team, the
Ottawa 67's , and was the Senators' sixth-round pick at the
2009 Draft .
Free agents
The Senators entered the off-season with four restricted free agents (RFAs):
Chris Campoli ,
Nick Foligno ,
Peter Regin and
Jesse Winchester . The team also had six unrestricted free agents (UFAs):
Matt Cullen and
Andy Sutton acquired via late 2009β10 season trades;
Shean Donovan and
Anton Volchenkov , as well as Binghamton players
Martin St. Pierre and
Josh Hennessy .
[4]
Of the four RFAs, all re-signed with the Senators. Winchester and Foligno each signed two-year deals on July 1 and July 21, respectively. Campoli and Regin both filed for arbitration, however they each re-signed before it reached that point. Regin signed a two-year deal on July 29, while Campoli signed a one-year deal on July 30.
Of the six UFAs, none re-signed with the Senators. On July 1, the first day of free agency, Volchenkov signed with the
New Jersey Devils while Cullen signed a three-year deal with the
Minnesota Wild .
[5] On August 2, Sutton signed with the
Anaheim Ducks in a two-year deal.
[6] Donovan did not sign with any NHL team. St. Pierre and Hennessy both signed with teams overseas.
In terms of acquisitions, the Senators made a notable move in signing former
Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman
Sergei Gonchar to a three-year deal in the first hours after the July 1 free agency deadline. Other free agency acquisitions include forward
Corey Locke , defenceman and
enforcer
Francis Lessard , defenceman
David Hale and defenceman
Andre Benoit .
Spezza trade speculation
In early June, an
Ottawa Sun article reported that star
centre
Jason Spezza was "unhappy" and that there were "indications [he] may have asked for a trade."
[7] Though purely speculation, the article prompted various other Ottawa sports media sources to issue their own perspectives. Theories ranged from conjuring up various trade rumours, noting the similarity to the previous year's
Dany Heatley trade demand, or to suggesting that it was just "lazy rumor mongering."
[8]
[9] Meanwhile, the Sun received criticism for its journalistic integrity to the point where they had to defend accusations that they were "anti-Spezza"
[10]
[11] This did not stop speculation, however, which was emboldened by silence both from Spezza and general manager
Bryan Murray .
Spezza finally broke the silence during his annual Celebrity Classic golf tournament on July 20:
I just want to clear up a lot of the talk going on, at no point did I ever demand a trade to Bryan Murray. At the end of the year, I was pretty emotional and upset. I was upset at losing, I was upset at the response I got. I talked to Bryan about it, I see it in the newspapers every year, they talk about me, and I said, if you want to move me, you can move me. I wanna be here, but if he thinks it's best for the team and the city, then he can move me. He told me he wasn't going to move me. To be honest I was happy about it, cause I like being here in Ottawa. It seems like every year it's been talk of "should I get traded, should I not get traded?" My priorities are here in Ottawa, I want to win in Ottawa. It was just a whole lot of hearsay that was going on. I had prior conversations with Bryan, I talked to
[head coach] Cory [Clouston] , we were all clear on what was going on.
Further, he expressed regret that the issue had become public at all. "Me and Bryan have talked since then and probably our conversation should have stayed between us", he said. "We probably wouldn't even be talking here today. But it happened and it's a reality." His statement largely settled the rumour, apart from some minor speculation (again by Ottawa Sun columnists) that Spezza had in fact demanded a trade similar to Heatley.
[13] However, sources confirmed with Spezza's team members that the situation was "not even close to the Dany situation."
[14]
Pre-season
On June 18, the Senators announced that they would play eight pre-season games, which includes three home games, four road games and one neutral site game. The Senators faced the
Toronto Maple Leafs three times, and had home-and-home sets against the
Montreal Canadiens and
New York Rangers .
[15] The Senators also played in the 2010
Kraft Hockeyville game in
Dundas, Ontario , against the
Buffalo Sabres . The game was played on September 28, 2010, at the J.L. Grightmire Market Street Arena.
[16]
Regular season
The Senators' regular season schedule was announced on June 22, 2010. The Senators opened the season at home against the Buffalo Sabres on October 8, 2010. The Senators end the season on the road against the
Boston Bruins on April 9, 2011.
[17]
The Senators' goal for the season was to return to the playoffs for the 13th time in 14 seasons. Media predictions were mostly negative. The Hockey News predicted in their 2010β11 Yearbook that the Senators will finish tenth in the Eastern Conference, thereby missing the playoffs.
[18] The Hockey News writer Adam Proteau predicted the Senators will finish ninth in the Conference.
[19] The Las Vegas Hilton SportsBook set the odds at 40β1 that the Senators will win the Stanley Cup.
[20]
Within a few days of each other, two of the Senators celebrated milestones in wins. On October 22,
Daniel Alfredsson scored a hat trick to reach 1,000 points in his career in a win against the
Buffalo Sabres . On October 26,
Sergei Gonchar played in his 1,000th game in his career. The game saw the Senators set a new team record for fastest two goals.
Erik Karlsson and
Alexei Kovalev scored only nine seconds apart, breaking the record of ten seconds set in 1995. The Senators defeated the
Phoenix Coyotes 5β2.
[21]
On November 13, 2010, the 14-year-old daughter of Assistant Coach
Luke Richardson died. The team, on a four-game road trip, returned to Ottawa for a "celebration of life" memorial service held at
Scotiabank Place on November 17. Five-thousand and six-hundred mourners attended the service, including former NHL players
Paul Coffey ,
Wendel Clark ,
Doug Gilmour and
Tie Domi .
[22] The team flew out after the ceremony for a game against the
Carolina Hurricanes that night. Richardson took a personal leave from the club. He returned to his duties with the Senators in January.
[23]
Another player reached the 1,000-point plateau on November 22 when Alexei Kovalev scored at the 10:00-minute mark of the first period. He became the third Russian player to reach the mark. Kovalev later assisted on the game-winning goal as the Senators prevailed over the
Los Angeles Kings at home, 3β2.
[24]
The Senators set a new modern franchise record starting in the first period of a game of November 29 against the
Edmonton Oilers through the game of December 5 against the
New York Rangers . The team went through a scoring drought that lasted 202 minutes and 57 seconds without a goal. The Senators were shut out by the
San Jose Sharks and
Buffalo Sabres before
Chris Kelly broke the streak in the second period of a game against the Rangers.
[25]
The Senators' poor performances led to constant rumours of a shakeup right through until December. The rumours were heightened in January after the team went on a lengthy losing streak. Owner
Eugene Melnyk , who had remained silent during much of the streak, finally broke his silence in an exclusive interview with the
Ottawa Sun .
[26] He made it clear that, despite rumours in the media to the contrary, general manager
Bryan Murray and Head Coach
Cory Clouston would be allowed to finish out their contracts and would not be replaced mid-season.
[27] Melnyk also assured the team's fanbase that a "plan [was] now in motion" to return the Senators to the status of Stanley Cup contenders, and that "difficult decisions" would be made in the coming months.
[28]
Those "difficult decisions" began on February 10, 2011, when the club traded long-time centre and fan favourite
Mike Fisher to the
Nashville Predators for a first-round and a conditional draft pick.
[29] The trade was met with mixed reaction from the Senators' fanbase. Some viewed it as an important step in the team's rebuilding process, while others were outraged at the loss of a player who was adored within the community. That outrage was most palpable when a local Ottawa
radio station suggested that Fisher's new wife
Carrie Underwood was largely responsible for his move to Nashville, and subsequently banned the play of her music. Underwood is a
country music singer who is based in Nashville, where Fisher had recently begun living during the off-season.
Following the Fisher trade, the Senators traded another lifetime Senator, forward Chris Kelly, to the
Boston Bruins in another move which was met with mixed reaction.
[30] The team shed salary by trading
Jarkko Ruutu and the under-achieving Alexei Kovalev, both of whom were to become
unrestricted free agent at season's end, to playoff contenders
Anaheim Ducks and
Pittsburgh Penguins , respectively.
[31]
Struggling goaltender Brian Elliott, a pending
restricted free agent , was sent to the
Colorado Avalanche in exchange for goalie
Craig Anderson , who had also been struggling through an inconsistent season.
[32]
Anderson, scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, was auditioned for a possible contract extension by the organization.
[33] Ottawa later acquired goaltender
Curtis McElhinney on waivers on February 28. With
Pascal Leclaire 's injury status unknown and future with the team in doubt, the Senators finished their schedule with a vastly different goal-tending tandem than they had begun the season with.
Following speculation that longtime Senators defenceman and looming unrestricted free agent
Chris Phillips would be dealt as part of the rebuilding process, the club instead signed him to a three-year extension on February 27, the day before the trade deadline. With a group of inexperienced young defencemen expected to stock the Senators' blueline in
2011β12 , Phillips' experience was deemed an important asset. Defenceman
Chris Campoli was traded on deadline day to the
Chicago Blackhawks for forward
Ryan Potulny and a conditional second-round draft pick, as Ottawa's rebuilding process continued.
For the rest of the season, the Senators rotated call-ups from Binghamton. On March 21, after 11 games with Ottawa, Craig Anderson was signed to a four-year extension by GM Murray. After media speculation on the future of Murray within the organization, Murray re-signed as general manager on April 8 to a three-year extension.
[34] After the final game of the season on April 9, Murray dismissed Cory Clouston and his assistant coaches.
