 Ottawa Senators
Daniel Alfredsson. Alfredsson was a low round draft pick but was a pleasant surprise in his rookie season.
Alexei Yashin. Alexei Yashin wanted much more than the 3.6 million dollars specified in his contract.
8. Frank Finnagan scored the last goal for the old Senators in the 1930's.
Montreal Canadiens. To the surprise and delight of their home crowd, the expansion team won its first game 5-4 over a strong Montreal team. They would win only 7 games after that game in their first season.
Dave Allison. Only die-hard Sens fans will remember the short tenure of Dave Allison. GM Randy Sexton fired Coach Rick Bowness, replacing him with Dave Allison. When Sexton himself was fired, the new GM Pierre Gauthier decided to change coaches, bringing in Jacques Martin. In hindsight, an excellent move.
True. Yashin was one of the best players on the Senators, but after contract disputes, he was traded for Zdeno Chara, Bill Muckalt, and the second overall pick in 2001.
