tonight the Ottawa Senators kick off their regular season which means it's time to continue our tradition of touching base with Graeme Nichols to tee up the year.

Conversation begins with some chatter about the Brady Tkachuk episode of Faceoff and whether it properly framed the captain's season. Later on the boys take a look at what the Sens did over the off-season, who has stood out at camp, how the D pairings should shake loose, reasonable expectations for Tim Stutzle, how the goalie splits should be handled and where the Sens fit in to a tight NHL Atlantic Division.

Get more from Graeme at The Hockey News and on the Coming In Hot Podcast.
