Senators Rumors: 2 Potential Landing Spots for Mathieu Joseph

The Ottawa Senators need to free up cap space if they hope to re-sign Shane Pinto before the start of the season. After a poor season, Mathieu Joseph stands out as a prime trade candidate. The 26-year-old's $2.95 million cap hit would be great to get off the books, and there could be clubs willing to take a chance on him if the Senators throw in a sweetener. Let's discuss two possible landing spots for him.

Anaheim Ducks: The Anaheim Ducks have money to work with. They also are rebuilding and certainly seem like a team who would be open to the idea of acquiring for Joseph if it means also bringing in a pick or prospect. If he bounces back, he would be a nice addition to their third line and power play.

San Jose Sharks: The San Jose Sharks are in need of some forward help, so they also could consider the prospect of acquiring Joseph. This is especially so if taking on his contract means adding a sweetener or two. The Sharks' forward group is looking rather weak on paper in 2023-24, so he could see bigger minutes if acquired there.
