I think it's a foregone conclusion that he won't be making the Senators, but he's probably got a good chance of playing for the B-Sens after getting some AHL experience with the Manitoba Moose last season. Including Smith, the Sens have the following (natural) centremen on the roster:
- Jason Spezza
- Mike Fisher
- Antoine Vermette
- Chris Kelly
- Dean McAmmond
- Cody Bass
- Josh Hennessy
- Justin Mapletoft
- Ilya Zubov
- Scott May
- Alexander Nikulin
- Peter Regin
- James O'Brien
- Zack Smith
- Igor Mirnov
- Louie Caporusso
- Matthew McIlvane
- Colin Greening
So... yeah. A lot of guys will be playing the wing instead, and a few guys might get bumped.
