Where does Tyler Kleven slot in on the Senators blue line and what might it appear like subsequent yr and past?
Ian Mendes of The Athletic: The Ottawa Senators added Jakob Chychrun on the deadline and lately signed prospect Tyler Kleven. Both are left-handed defensemen. With solely Artem Zub and Travis Hamonic, pure right-side defensemen, are the Senators to loaded on the left aspect?
Senators GM Pierre Dorion.
“The way the game is played now, how you slash, cut and gap, it’s not a big deal,” Dorion defined. “All Europeans play their other side. I think we make a way bigger deal out of this than what it is.”

Potential pairings subsequent season:
