Forwards:

Marian Hossa (Right Wing)
Exploded onto the elite level scene by scoring at a point-per-game clip and would have had challenged for the Rocket Richard trophy if not for a late season drought...is a pure goal scorer whose lack of a true playmaking center will prevent him from hitting 50 goals. Projection: 43 goals, 36 assists, 79 points.

Daniel Alfredsson (Right Wing)
Followed up a healthy 01/02 season in which he set career highs by another relatively year in which he surpassed his totals even further...is among the top point producers in the Eastern conference when healthy, but past injuries are a mild cause for concern. Projection: 32 goals, 46 assists, 78 points.

Martin Havlat (Right Wing)
On the fast track to becoming an elite goal-scoring right winger, Havlat produced his third consecutive increase in both goals and points...currently an unsigned restricted free agent, he may not be in the NHL at all this year but will produce at a 30-goal clip if and when he is signed. Projection: 29 goals, 38 assists, 67 points.

Radek Bonk (Center)
Labelled as a chronic and career underachiever, Bonk failed to prove his detractors wrong with a season in which he went backwards offensively...is in line for another season in the 60-point neighborhood as long as he plays with Hossa. Projection: 24 goals, 36 assists, 60 points.

Todd White (Center)
Continued his emergence as the Senators' top center alongside right winger Alfredsson with a 25-35-60 season, all of which were career highs...has the talent to be an ideal #2 center on any team but on this Senators team he is often asked to play like a #1 alongside Hossa. Projection: 24 goals, 35 assists, 59 points.

Jason Spezza (Center)
After two years toiling in the minors and seeing little action with the big club, Spezza finally gets to make his big splash...could see significant action on one of the Sens' top two lines and powerplay unit which means he should produce, making him an ideal sleeper for this year. Projection: 19 goals, 32 assists, 51 points.

Mike Fisher (Center)
Served as the team's third line center but put up nice offensive totals thanks to Ottawa's incredible depth on the right wing...might shift to the left wing this year depending on what the Sens want to do with Spezza, which could actually help his numbers assuming he stays healthy. Projection: 24 goals, 25 assists, 49 points.

Bryan Smolinski (Center)
Despite playing in 12 fewer games than the year before, Smolinski upped his points total from 38 to 46 including 8 points in 10 games with the Sens...is a versatile veteran player who is can contribute in almost any role given to him but carries with him a mild injury risk. Projection: 19 goals, 24 assists, 43 points.

Petr Schastlivy (Left Wing)
Big things were expected out of Schastlivy last year, but he struggled to score and then suffered an abdominal injury which prematurely ended his year...the Sens are weak on the left side so if Schastlivy can secure a position on a top line, he could respond with a breakthrough season. Projection: 23 goals, 19 assists, 42 points.

Defenseman:

Wade Redden (Defense)
Solidified his claim as one of the league's best defenseman with his third straight strong season on both the offensive and defensive ends...is a lock to score in the 40-point range, while contributing excellent stats everywhere else. Projection: 10 goals, 36 assists, 46 points.

Karel Rachunek (Defense)
Missed over 20 games due to a contract dispute, but came back with a vengeance scoring 29 points in only 58 points, a projection of 42 points over a full season...needs to get more powerplay time before he can be labelled a true offensive defenseman. Projection: 7 goals, 30 assists, 37 points.

Zdeno Chara (Defense)
Offensively, Chara had a career year last year almost worthy of a year-end all-star selection and defensively, he didn't skip a beat...will be extremely hard-pressed to further set career highs, but will provide stellar defense while chipping in a point approximately every three games. Projection: 9 goals, 19 assists, 28 points.

Goalies:

Patrick Lalime (Goalie)
Vezina trophy contender Lalime set career highs in games played, GAA and wins while backstopping Ottawa to the league's best record...will once again produce Martin Brodeur-like stats while not carrying the same type of name value. Projection: 38 wins, 2.24 GAA, .912 SV%.
