Locked on Senators host Brandon Pillar, joined by Eddie Garcia and Shukri Wrights, breaks down Ottawa’s offseason overhaul, plus the goal tending tandem of Linus Ullmark and Sam Ersson. Key topics include the evolving leadership landscape—will Thomas Chabot, Jake Sanderson, or Giroux wear the “C”?—plus Steve Staios’ vision for keeping the Senators competitive. Don’t miss this sharp, insider analysis on Ottawa’s lineup shakeup, their October showdown with Tkachuk’s Panthers, and what it means for the Senators’ playoff aspirations.
