After missing the post-season in 2008–09 for the first time since the 1995–96 season, the team qualified for the playoffs with four games to play with a win against the Carolina Hurricanes on April 1, 2010. The Senators drew the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round, which the Penguins won 4–2. 2 Off-season In early June, left winger Dany Heatley notified general manager Bryan Murray that he wanted a trade out of Ottawa. According to reports, Heatley was dissatisfied with his role and ice time under new head coach Cory Clouston.Ottawa Citizen Senators' coach 'devastated' by Heatley's trade request: GM June 16, 2009 Panzeri Allen https://ottawacitizen.com/sports/hockey/ottawa-senators/Senators+coach+devastated+Heatley+trade+request/1701790/story.html 6 January 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20090619153101/http://www.ottawacitizen.com/sports/hockey/ottawa-senators/Senators+coach+devastated+Heatley+trade+request/1701790/story.html 19 June 2009 dead On June 15, it was announced that team president Roy Mlakar's contract would not be renewed.

Cowan had been projected as a top-five pick, but had suffered a knee injury during the 2008–09 season. Cowen is tall and is expected to play a "shut-down" role in the future with the Senators. In the days leading up to the July 1 free agency period, a prospective trade emerged for Dany Heatley with the Edmonton Oilers. Reportedly, the Oilers offered Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid. Heatley met with the Edmonton management and turned down the trade using a no-movement clause in his contract. On July 1, the Senators were required to make a $4 million payment in advance of Heatley's 2009–10 salary, and the Senators had hoped to move Heatley before the payment. According to Slam! Sports, the Oilers were not on a list of teams acceptable to Heatley, the list of teams including the Rangers, Bruins, Canucks, Sharks, Kings, Red Wings, Flames and Blackhawks. According to GM Murray, teams were "sour" on Heatley and there were few offers.Sun Media Garrioch, Bruce http://www.edmontonsun.com/sports/hockey/2009/07/01/9990961-sun.html Close, but no cigar July 1, 2009 6 January 2010 The Senators made a major free-agent signing on July 6 when they signed former Montreal Canadiens forward Alexei Kovalev to a two-year contract.

By the date of Kovalev's formal introduction press conference on July 21, Heatley had not yet been traded and Kovalev expressed the wish that Heatley would return.https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/story/?id=285250&hubname=nhl-senators TSN SENS HOPE TO HAVE KOVALEV AND HEATLEY ON THE ICE TOGETHER July 21, 2009 2009-07-22 By the opening of training camp on September 12, Heatley had not been traded. Heatley reported and participated in camp activities. Heatley met with Clouston and Murray who hoped to persuade Heatley to drop his trade demand, which he did not. After the meeting, Murray became convinced that Heatley could not stay and had to be moved immediately. Heatley was traded later that day to the San Jose Sharks for wingers Milan Michalek and Jonathan Cheechoo and an exchange of draft picks. On November 3, it was confirmed that Senators owner Eugene Melnyk filed a grievance to demand that Heatley return a $4 million bonus the Senators paid Heatley on July 1, part of his contract.National Post November 3, 2009 Senators file grievance against Heatley https://nationalpost.com/sports/story.html?id=2178205 Canwest News Service 2009-11-03October 2025 medicmedic Preseason y background:#BF2F38; color:#231F20; 2009 Pre-season game log: 2–4–0 (Home: 1–1–0; Road: 0–2–0) # Date Visitor Score Home OT Decision Record Recap |- style="text-align:center; background:#fcc;" | 1 || September 15 (in Halifax, NS) || Ottawa Senators || 1-3 || Florida Panthers || || Leclaire || 0-1-0 || https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/ott-vs-fla/2009/09/15/2009010003 Senators vs. Panthers - 15/09/2009 - Ottawa Senators - Recap Senators.nhl.com 2009-09-15 2010-07-03 https://web.archive.org/web/20120328214817/http://senators.nhl.com/club/recap.htm?id=2009010003 2012-03-28 live |- style="text-align:center; background:#fcc;" | 2 || September 16 || Florida Panthers || 2-1 || Ottawa Senators || || Brodeur || 0-2-0 || https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/fla-vs-ott/2009/09/16/2009010012 Panthers vs. Senators - 16/09/2009 - Ottawa Senators - Recap Senators.nhl.com 2009-09-16 2010-07-03 https://web.archive.org/web/20120328214824/http://senators.nhl.com/club/recap.htm?id=2009010012 2012-03-28 live |- style="text-align:center; background:#fcc;" | 3 || September 18 || Ottawa Senators || 1-2 || Montreal Canadiens || || Lehner || 0-3-0 || https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/ott-vs-mtl/2009/09/18/2009010029 Senators vs. Canadiens - 18/09/2009 - Ottawa Senators - Recap Senators.nhl.com 2009-09-18 2010-07-03 https://web.archive.org/web/20120328214832/http://senators.nhl.com/club/recap.htm?id=2009010029 2012-03-28 live |- style="text-align:center; background:#cfc;" | 4 || September 19 || Montreal Canadiens || 1-6 || Ottawa Senators || || Leclaire || 1-3-0 || https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/mtl-vs-ott/2009/09/19/2009010038 Canadiens vs. Senators - 19/09/2009 - Ottawa Senators - Recap Senators.nhl.com 2009-09-19 2010-07-03 https://web.archive.org/web/20120328214836/http://senators.nhl.com/club/recap.htm?id=2009010038 2012-03-28 live |- style="text-align:center; background:#cfc;" | 5 || September 21 (in Regina, SK) || Ottawa Senators || 3-1 || Tampa Bay Lightning || || Elliott || 2-3-0 || https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/ott-vs-tbl/2009/09/21/2009010056 Senators vs. Lightning - 21/09/2009 - Ottawa Senators - Recap Senators.nhl.com 2009-09-21 2010-07-03 https://web.archive.org/web/20120328214840/http://senators.nhl.com/club/recap.htm?id=2009010056 2012-03-28 live |- style="text-align:center; background:#fcc;" | 6 || September 25 || Boston Bruins || 2-1 || Ottawa Senators || || Leclaire || 2-4-0 || https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/bos-vs-ott/2009/09/25/2009010081 Bruins vs. Senators - 25/09/2009 - Ottawa Senators - Recap Senators.nhl.com 2009-09-25 2010-07-03 https://web.archive.org/web/20120328214843/http://senators.nhl.com/club/recap.htm?id=2009010081 2012-03-28 live |- Regular season The Senators started the season with several changes from the previous season. Heatley was traded, Christoph Schubert was demoted to Binghamton and eventually waived to Atlanta; Brian Lee who had played most of the previous season with Ottawa, was also demoted. Newcomers included Michalek and Cheechoo from the Heatley trade, Kovalev, a free agent signing, and Matt Carkner and Erik Karlsson made the team on defence. Before the end of October, Karlsson was demoted to Binghamton and Lee promoted to Ottawa. First round pick Jared Cowen was returned to junior. Ilya Zubov failed to make the team and was demoted to Binghamton. Zubov first demanded a trade, then accepted a contract reassignment to Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). The Senators retain his NHL rights. In December, the Senators started to run into a streak of injuries. By the end of the month, the entire top line of Michalek, Spezza and Alfredsson was out with injuries. On January 13, 2010, the Senators fired their goaltending coach, Eli Wilson.
