The Ottawa Charge have signed Maggy Burbidge to a reserve contract. Very slick player, deceptive with the puck. One of my top sleepers from the 2025 Draft. I have no doubt she can be in this league and contribute.

Maybe it’s just not meant to be for the Ottawa Senators, and the #Sens thin margin of error.

Plus, Stutzle's rise and Halliday's production.

Finally, on Nick Cousins being a pest.

“I tell him to be a little bit of a rat," Cousins told Ridly Greig.
