  1. Chabot’s Health: Can Thomas Chabot stay healthy and anchor the defense? His talent is undeniable, but injuries have plagued him in recent seasons. If he can stay on the ice, he has the potential to be a dominant force with his size, speed, and offensive ability.

  1. Stutzle’s Rebound: Will Tim Stutzle bounce back after a disappointing 2023-24 season? Injuries played a role, but he acknowledges he needs to be better. His offensive production significantly dropped from the previous year. A strong season from him is crucial for the Senators’ playoff hopes.

  1. Off-Ice Stability: With a new owner (Michael Andlauer), general manager (Steve Staios), and coach (Travis Green), will the Senators finally have the off-ice stability they’ve lacked in recent years? Green is known for developing young talent, and a clear vision from ownership and management is key for on-ice success.
