Either way, you can’t go wrong with the most likable player in the entire hockey world. Or you could just wait for next year, when he’ll be fresh off a Calder-winning rookie season. Are you telling me the average EA Sports NHL player pays enough attention to the Ottawa Senators to know if a guy has ever played a game for them? Come on. Marketability: Egor SokolovĪlright, yes, technically Sokolov has never played an NHL game before, but who’s really paying attention? Do a photoshoot with him in a Sens jersey and you’re good to go. He’s an up-and-coming star coming off a great rookie season, and a player with the kinds of skills that are likely to attract fans around the league. Stützle is the other obvious answer if you’re looking for players that people outside of Ottawa might recognize. He’d be a great choice to represent the Sens nationwide. He’s the face of the franchise, and the probable future captain. Just by virtue of his last name, Brady Tkachuk is one of the only Ottawa Senators that the average hockey fan can name. I have a few potential options, all based on different criteria. So my weekly question is this: which Ottawa Senator should be the first one to be an EA Sports cover star?
I think it’s time they finally give all NHL fans what they want: Ottawa Senators on the cover of an EA NHL game. And you know what? So do I.ĮA Sports has never chosen an Ottawa Senator as their cover star, though there have been a few special editions with Sens players. People have very strong opinions about which players would make better cover stars than Auston Matthews. Indeed, hockey fans have been debating this - extensively. The reasoning for this decision seems to be that Matthews is an especially marketable player, which is debatable. It’s the offseason and the Sens still refuse to do anything, so what is left for us to talk about? Meaningless internet drama, of course!Įarlier this week, EA Sports announced that, for the second time (the first being in 2020), Auston Matthews will be on the cover of their NHL game.
