The Ottawa Senators are actively considering potential roster adjustments as they prepare for the next season. Key among their interests is Mason McTavish from the Anaheim Ducks, whose restricted free agent status may become a point of contention. Reports suggest that McTavish may not be satisfied with his current situation, which could lead to an intriguing trade possibility. Furthermore, the Senators are keen on securing an extension for Shane Pinto, a center who has emerged as a consistent player, contributing both defensively and offensively.

While Pinto is currently on a $3.75 million contract for one more season, discussions about a longer-term deal could revolve around a $6 million annual average value for six years. This would allow the Senators to retain his talents while accommodating his desire for a more prominent role in the lineup. The Senators are also on the lookout for a scoring left winger, aiming to fill the void left by departing players, so roster enhancements are anticipated.
