Season of professional ice hockey team
The 2015β16 Ottawa Senators season was the
24th season of the
Ottawa Senators of the
National Hockey League (NHL).
[1] The Senators, along with all other Canadian teams, failed to make the playoffs. A major trade was made during the season to bring
Dion Phaneuf to the Senators and improve the team defence, but the team was not able to make a run to secure a playoff spot. Two significant faults in the team were noted by the media: the club allowed 247 goals, third-highest in the league. Secondly, the team's penalty-killing unit ranked 29th in the league. One day after the regular season, general manager (GM) Bryan Murray stepped down and assistant GM
Pierre Dorion became GM. Head coach
Dave Cameron and the coaching staff were fired two days later.
Off-season
Leading up to the off-season, the media frequently speculated about what the Ottawa Senators would and could do with their surplus of
goaltenders . They had recently signed
Andrew Hammond , who had had an outstanding 2014β15 season, to a three-year contract and college graduate
Matt O'Connor to an entry-level contract. They already had starter
Craig Anderson , who was signed until the end of the 2017β18 season, and backup
Robin Lehner , considered to be an outstanding future starter, who was signed until the end of the 2016β17 season, and prospect
Chris Driedger in the minors.
The logjam at the goaltending position was resolved on June 26, when general manager
Bryan Murray completed a trade that saw
Robin Lehner and forward
David Legwand go to the
Buffalo Sabres in exchange for the 21st overall pick (acquired by Buffalo from the
New York Islanders in the
Matt Moulson -
Thomas Vanek trade) in the
2015 NHL Entry Draft . The Senators would use the pick to select right winger
Colin White , who played for the
USA Hockey National Team Development Program 's under-18 team. White is committed to attend
Boston College beginning in the fall of 2015. The inclusion of Legwand in the trade was done to free up salary cap space to re-sign several players.
On June 27, Murray completed another trade, sending defenceman
Eric Gryba to the
Edmonton Oilers in exchange for prospect forward
Travis Ewanyk and a fourth-round 2015 draft pick, 107th overall, which the Senators used to select defenceman
Christian Wolanin of the
Muskegon Lumberjacks in the
United States Hockey League (USHL). Wolanin will play for the
University of North Dakota in the 2015β16 season.
[2]
On July 7, the Senators re-signed
Luke Richardson to a one-year contract extension to remain head coach of their
American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the
Binghamton Senators , for the 2015β16 season. Richardson has been head coach of Binghamton since the
2010β11 season . In his first season at the helm, he led Binghamton to a 44β24β1β7 record, placing them fourth in the Eastern Conference. The team would end up winning the
2011
Calder Cup .
[3]
On July 26, an arbitrator awarded
RFA
right-winger
Alex Chiasson a one-year contract worth $1.2 million.
TSN Hockey Insider
Frank Seravalli reported that Chiasson asked for a $2.475 million in his hearing that occurred on July 23 while the Senators countered with a $1 million offer.
[4]
On August 3, an arbitrator awarded RFA left-winger
Mike Hoffman a one-year contract worth $2 million. Hoffman submitted a request for a one-year contract worth $3.4 million while the Senators offered a one-year, $1.75 million contract.
[5]
On September 5, the
Canadian Press reported Senators defenceman
Chris Phillips had suffered a major setback in his return to action after having back surgery back in April 2015. Phillips confirmed the report by informing
Ottawa Sun sports columnist Bruce Garrioch that he cracked a disc in his back and there is currently no timetable for his return.
[6]
On September 17, the Senators announced that
Daniel Alfredsson had returned to the organization. He will be the team's senior advisor of hockey operations. He reports to Bryan Murray.
[7]
Pre-season
The Ottawa Senators played an eight-game preseason schedule beginning on Monday, September 21, 2015, and finishing on Saturday, October 3, 2015. The schedule featured split squad games against the
Toronto Maple Leafs and home-and-home series against the
Buffalo Sabres and
Montreal Canadiens . It also featured a game against the
Carolina Hurricanes taking place in
St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador .
Regular season
The Senators began their season on the road in
Buffalo , against the
Sabres at the
First Niagara Center . The home opener took place at the
Canadian Tire Centre on October 11, 2015, against the
Montreal Canadiens . The team concluded the home part of their schedule on April 7, 2016, against the
Florida Panthers . Their final game of the regular season took place on April 9, 2016, at
TD Garden in
Boston .
[8]
On Sunday, October 11, 2015, rookie goaltender
Matt O'Connor made his NHL debut against the
Montreal Canadiens in a 3β1 loss. The goaltender for the Canadiens that night was rookie goaltender
Mike Condon . This marked the first time that two NHL rookie goaltenders made their NHL debuts in the same game since October 14, 1967 when
Wayne Rutledge of the
Los Angeles Kings faced
Doug Favell of the
Philadelphia Flyers .
[9]
In February 2016, the Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs made a sensational trade of nine players and a draft pick. The Senators acquired Toronto captain
Dion Phaneuf , plus
Matt Frattin and three prospects, in exchange for
Jared Cowen ,
Colin Greening ,
Milan Michalek , prospect
Tobias Lindberg and a second-round 2017 draft pick. The two rival teams interests coincided for a rare trade between the two. The Maple Leafs wished to trade Phaneuf to rid the team of his contract. Similarly, the Senators wanted to move Cowen and Greening and Michalek. After the trade, Cowen revealed he had requested a trade; he had become a regular healthy scratch for the team. Greening had lost his NHL job, but had a one-way contract, and Michalek had a relatively high $4 million per season contract.
[10] Frattin was not transferred from the AHL
Toronto Marlies to Binghamton, he remained with the Marlies on a loan.
Playoffs
The Senators failed to qualify for the
Stanley Cup playoffs , after being eliminated on March 30, 2016.
