3 reasons for concern after Senators playoff elimination

For the seventh year in a row, the Ottawa Senators have missed the postseason. The team was officially eliminated from playoff contention a little over a week ago after falling well short of expectations on the year. Entering the season, excitement levels around the team were higher than they've been in a long time, and reaching the playoffs seemed like a legit possibility. The front office stocked the team up over the offseason, and on paper, it was a fairly well-built roster.
