Carson Latimer

May 2023 – Latimer became a teammate of Zack Ostapchuk as he was traded to the Winnipeg Ice as well. He hasn’t shown the offensive progression you would like to see with just 14 goals and 26 assists in 53 games. He’s missed a few games during the playoffs and has five points in 12 games. The Senators need to sign him by June 1^st, 2023 or becomes a free agent. Grant Campbell

June 2022 – The 19-year-old Latimer was traded early this season from Edmonton to Prince Albert in the WHL. Overall he played 62 games and had 18 goals and 22 assists, which is not the production you’d like to see from a player in his D+1 season from a purely statistical standpoint. The 4^th round pick from the 2021 draft plays well on the penalty kill and is already defensively responsible, so it is just a matter of improving his skills. Grant Campbell

July 2021- With the 123^rd overall selection in the 2021 NHL draft, the Ottawa Senators selected Latimer from the Edmonton Oil Kings. Although most of his best play comes without the puck on his stick, there is no doubt that he brings value to his team with every shift. His consistent forechecking and puck retrieval ability makes him a constant contributor to his team’s success, which makes him a valuable role player for the Oil Kings. Big strides that I am hoping to see him take this upcoming year are with his stickhandling ability and just overall willingness to get involved offensively. Jacob Barker
