Michael Bunting Could Be Exactly What The Senators Need

The Hockey Writers argues that free agent Michael Bunting could be an ideal fit for the Ottawa Senators. Writer John Mikhail suggests Ottawa should utilize its available cap space to sign the former 60-point winger, highlighting Bunting's history as an effective complementary player alongside elite offensive stars.

Mikhail points out that Bunting's forechecking, puck-retrieval skills, and ability to draw penalties would relieve pressure on top Senators forwards such as Tim Stützle and Drake Batherson. The article also notes that Bunting could alternatively add valuable depth across Ottawa's middle six alongside Shane Pinto or Dylan Cozens.
