Overall, the season is about what we expected. We competed in games, finsihed close to .500 and the future looks bright. Pinto, Zub, Gustavsson, Stutzle, Tkachuk, Brannstrom and the names go on. We need to put it all together but things are looking good in Ottawa trying to get back to the top of the league.

There is some contracts that I am unsure about that we have to make decisions on in the next month or so.

Zach Sanford is asking for way too much money. Looking for a deal of 4.5m a year for 3 years. We can afford it but not sure he is the guy to sign at that deal.

Nick Holden is going to test the market after this season. Doesn't want to play here in Ottawa

Josh Brown won't be offered a contract. He spent the year in Belleville and just wasn't very good.

Viktor Mete is a thinker. I am not sure what to do with him at this point. He will be qualified so we won't lose him but not sure he is worth the asking price.

Nick Paul doesn't want to play for Ottawa anymore and will test the market. We tried offering him a deal earlier in the year and he turned it down.

Max McCormick won't be offered a new deal in Ottawa. He will become a free agent.

Tyler Ennis is another guy I am not sure about. He is only looking for 3.1m and a 2 year deal but there will be a bit of a log jam in the top 12

Chris Tierney was offered a contract, 4.5 a year for 3 years. Not much of a raise for him but he can help solidify the forward core and helps with leadership
