SenShot's Matthew Nafe suggests four potential forward targets from struggling NHL teams that the Ottawa Senators should consider acquiring via trade. Sitting at 10-6-1 and ranking 31st in power-play percentage, the Senators need top-six scoring help. Nafe argues that targeting non-contenders could provide Ottawa with the necessary offensive reinforcements to bolster their postseason push.

The four forwards proposed by Nafe are Brock Boeser of the Vancouver Canucks, Matvei Michkov of the Philadelphia Flyers, Rickard Rakell of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and Matthew Knies of the Columbus Blue Jackets. The writer highlights Boeser and Michkov as potential dynamic partners for Tim Stützle, while Rakell offers veteran depth and Knies brings physical versatility.
