Chris Tierney

Tierney had a career-low 19 points in 55 games last season -- a scoring output that can partly be blamed on the shortened season and a poor supporting cast on a rebuilding Senators team. Only one of those flaws is expected to be resolved in 2021-22, although Tierney has shown the potential to be part of the solution with the Senators. He logged point totals of 40, 48 and 37 in the three years prior to last campaign's dud. With Josh Norris and Shane Pinto likely to get long looks as the top two centers in Ottawa, Tierney may begin the year in a third-line role. The 27-year-old should still get a reasonable middle-six workload as one of the more veteran forwards on the team, although fantasy managers may want to wait and see how he starts the year.
