2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Team business
The team completed some work on the Canadian Tire Centre in time for the season. The team reduced seating in the upper bowl while adding a stage and special event areas. Team president Tom Anselmi explained the changes in part as that the Centre had too many upper bowl seats and not enough lower bowl seating. The team and Senators fans had been criticized during the 2017 playoffs for not selling out every playoff game. The seating capacity was reduced to 17,000 (standing areas were retained). After the season, Eugene Melnyk stated that he thought the move was a mistake and the tarps over the seats in the upper bowl would be removed for next season.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Team business
In January 2018, the Senators reached an agreement with the National Capital Commission government agency in Ottawa to redevelop the downtown LeBreton Flats site. The site would be redeveloped for CA$3.5 billion in a partnership with private developers known as the Rendezvous Group and would include new residential buildings, a public square and tourist attractions. As part of the redevelopment, the Senators would build a new ice hockey arena to replace the Canadian Tire Centre, an arena considered by many fans to be remote and having access problems. A new arena is not expected to open before 2022.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Team business
In February 2018, team president Anselmi resigned his position with the Senators, without explanation. The same day, the Senators extended the contract of general manager Pierre Dorion by three years, given the task by owner Melnyk to rebuild the team as necessary.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Team business
A group of fans, disappointed in the team in general and owner Melnyk in particular, organized the "#MelnykOut" campaign to prod Melnyk into selling the team or otherwise not be involved with the team. Billboards promoting the "#MelnykOut" campaign were crowd-funded and located around Ottawa. Melnyk and Dorion held "town-hall" meetings with season ticket subscribers after the season in an effort to win back the fan base. The club announced a reduction in parking rates, concession incentives and the removal of the tarps from seats in the arena. Melnyk told the fans that the team was not for sale.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Team business
Former captain Daniel Alfredsson later told former Ottawa Sun columnist Susan Sherring that he and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson were in agreement that "it was time for a new owner." Asked about Alfredsson's comments, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman stated that the club was not for sale, that Melnyk was "committed to the Senators and is passionate about them."


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Team business

Neil would not be signed by any other NHL team and he chose to retire. He was honoured by the Senators with a ceremony at the January 25, 2018, Senators' home game.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Off-season
On July 1, 2017, former Senators team captain Daniel Alfredsson announced that he was stepping down in his role as senior advisor of hockey operations. He said that he wanted to take a complete break from the game to spend time with his family. Alfredsson held the role for two seasons.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Off-season
The team had a significant turnover in personnel. Senators did not resign forwards Chris Kelly, Tommy Wingels or Viktor Stalberg, and lost Clarke MacArthur to long-term injury related to his ongoing issues with concussions. Defenceman Marc Methot was lost to the Vegas Golden Knights through the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft. Kelly would later join the Senators' Belleville affiliate.

2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Pre-season
On June 16, 2017, the Senators announced their pre-season schedule. They played a six-game schedule starting September 18, including a home-and-home set against their provincial rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs, and a game against the New Jersey Devils in O'Leary, Prince Edward Island, as part of Kraft Hockeyville on September 25. The team also played two games against their closest geographical rival, the Montreal Canadiens, and one game against the Winnipeg Jets.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Regular season
The Senators' home opener was against the Washington Capitals on October 5. On November 10 and November 11, the Senators played two games against the Colorado Avalanche in Stockholm, Sweden. This marked the first time an NHL regular season game has been played outside of North America since 2011.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Regular season
The Senators made a major trade on November 5, 2017. The team traded Kyle Turris, Andrew Hammond, Shane Bowers and draft picks to the Colorado Avalanche for Matt Duchene, who had requested a trade from the Avalanche. Turris was moved by the Avalanche to the Nashville Predators in a second phase of the deal. Turris had been in unsuccessful salary negotiations with the Senators and turned down a contract offer from the Senators which was similar to one he accepted from the Predators. Hammond had been playing for the Senators' minor league Belleville team, and the Senators wanted to clear his contract. Hammond would remain with Belleville after the trade and was eventually elevated by the Avalanche. Bowers was the Senators' 2017 first round entry draft pick, playing in NCAA ice hockey.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Regular season
To mark the NHL's centennial, the Senators hosted the "NHL 100 Classic" outdoor game on December 16 at TD Place Stadium in Ottawa. The game between Ottawa and the Montreal Canadiens comes nearly 100 years after the first game of the NHL's 1917–18 season, between the Ottawa Senators and the Montreal Canadiens. The regular season game was also a Canada 150 event. The stadium's capacity was increased with temporary stands, which were also used for the 105th Grey Cup game to be held a few weeks earlier.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Regular season
The Senators had hoped to host the event on Parliament Hill, but the Government of Canada decided it was not feasible. An alumni game was held at an NHL-sized rink installed on Parliament Hill. In the 100 Classic, the Senators defeated the Canadiens 3–0. The game was preceded by controversial comments by owner Eugene Melnyk about the team's attendance, the move to Lebreton Flats and a possible move of the team.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Regular season
The Senators began the season without captain Erik Karlsson, who had had off-season surgery, and he returned late in October, at less than 100%, but the team managed to have a winning record in October. After the trade for Duchene, the Senators played the games against the Avalanche in Sweden, winning both. The rest of November was unkind, as the Senators then lost seven in a row, one in overtime. December was also a losing month, as the Senators had five-game and four-game losing streaks and won only one game of eight on the road. January saw the Senators lose six in a row, the first time the team had lost six in a row in regulation since 1996.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Regular season
As the trade deadline of February 26 approached, the Senators were still well outside of a playoff spot. After having his contract extended, general manager Dorion went to work to rebuild the roster. The Senators traded Chris DiDomenico to the Chicago Blackhawks and Dion Phaneuf and Nate Thompson to the Los Angeles Kings. Derick Brassard went to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a three-team swap with the Vegas Golden Knights. Defenceman Johnny Oduya went to the Philadelphia Flyers via waivers.


2017–18 Ottawa Senators season, Regular season
The Senators notified other teams that they would consider offers for team captain Erik Karlsson, and also suggested a package including Bobby Ryan, but neither player was traded. GM Dorion later stated he would not trade Karlsson at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and would offer him an eight-year extension on his contract on July 1, 2018, the first day the team is allowed to do so.

The 2017–18 season was Oud-Heverlee Leuven's 16th competitive season in professional football and the team's second consecutive season at the second level following their relegation from the Belgian Pro League in 2016. It was also the first season under the ownership of the King Power International Group lead by Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.


2017–18 Oud-Heverlee Leuven season
OH Leuven lost points early throughout the season as several key starting players arrived only late in the 2017 summer transfer window, resulting in a poor league start of 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss from the opening 7 games. The team was not able to overtake Beerschot-Wilrijk anymore during the opening tournament, missing the first chance to qualify for the promotion play-offs by three points.


2017–18 Oud-Heverlee Leuven season
In the closing tournament the team again started mediocre, drawing against struggling teams Roeselare, Union SG and Tubize to set up a crucial away match to Cercle Brugge already on matchday 6, which was lost 1-0 against ten men. OH Leuven thereafter never managed to close the gap to Cercle Brugge and had to settle for the Europa League play-off matches, in which they scored wins against Waasland-Beveren and Excel Mouscron and a draw against a strong Zulte Waregem. Eventually the team ended fourth after finishing the season by being thrashed 5-0 away to Excel Mouscron, a score which was on the scoreboard already at half-time.


2017–18 Oud-Heverlee Leuven season
In the cup, the team strolled past Turnhout (playing two divisions lower) with seven different players scoring in an 8-0 win, before being eliminated after extra time by top division team Sint-Truiden. OH Leuven managed to come back from a deficit twice, the second time far into extra-time when down to nine men.


2017–18 Oud-Heverlee Leuven season, Transfers
During the summer of 2017, OH Leuven was very active on the transfer market, although initially this was most noticeable on the outgoing side with the contracts of Nicolas Delporte, Nathan Durieux, Jonathan Kindermans and Fazlı Kocabaş not being prolonged and five loan players returning to their parent clubs: Nathan de Medina returned to Anderlecht, Siebe Horemans, Lucas Schoofs and Serge Tabekou all returned to Gent and Yannick Loemba returned to Oostende.


2017–18 Oud-Heverlee Leuven season, Transfers
No official news was released at the time about Jeroen Simaeys, who had suffered a serious injury early 2017, but he was no longer being presented as part of the squad in spite of having a running contract. Early 2018 it would become apparent that the injury had effectively ended Simaeys' professional football career and that he had found an agreement with the club to terminate his contract early. On top of this in May Belgian First Amateur Division team Heist announced the signing of defender Mehdi Bounou, while Kenneth Houdret moved to direct opponents Union SG.


2017–18 Oud-Heverlee Leuven season, Transfers
On the incoming side, OH Leuven announced mid May the dual signing of defenders Clément Fabre (from Tubize) and Kenneth Schuermans (from Westerlo), while also mentioning that goalkeeper Laurent Henkinet had extended his contract by three seasons until 2020. Early June saw two further departures, with first Soufiane El Banouhi following Kenneth Houdret to Union SG, followed by Romain Reynaud who moved to French fourth tier team Andrézieux-Bouthéon.


2017–18 Oud-Heverlee Leuven season, Transfers
Later that month three more players departed the squad as Pieter-Jan Monteyne moved to Roeselare, Pierre-Yves Ngawa was signed by Serie B team Avellino and Ben Yagan moved to the Belgian First Amateur Division to play for Dessel Sport, while on the incoming side OH Leuven strengthened the squad with four players: Geert Berben was seen as a promising youngster and picked up from relegated Lommel United, experienced French midfielder Julien Gorius was brought in for free from Chinese team Changchun Yatai and with Yannick Aguemon (from Union SG) and Nikola Storm (again on loan from Club Brugge), two fast wingers were added to the squad.


2017–18 Oud-Heverlee Leuven season, Transfers
Storm had already been on loan since the 2016–17 winter transfer window but the loan was extended for another season. In July, the team signed three Belgian players, young midfielder Mathieu Maertens was brought in from Cercle Brugge, while defenders Derrick Tshimanga (from Willem II) and Dimitri Daeseleire (from Antwerp) were brought in for their experience. Meanwhile, Simon Bracke and Cédric D'Ulivo left the team, respectively to Hasselt and Icelandic team FH. Traditionally, OH Leuven was very active in the month of August.


2017–18 Oud-Heverlee Leuven season, Transfers
As newly signed player Clément Fabre had suffered a serious injury near the end of July, which meant he would be unavailable for at least several months, two more defenders were brought in: Ivorian international Mamadou Bagayoko was signed from Sint-Truiden while English youth international Elliott Moore arrived on loan from Leicester City, with that transfer being arranged due to the fact that both OH Leuven and Leicester were now under ownership of King Power.

Furthermore, experienced midfielder David Hubert was signed from Gent and the offensive department was reinforced with two foreign strikers, Scotsman Tony Watt from Charlton Athletic and Senegalese Simon Diedhiou from Gent. Four Belgian youngsters were sent out on loans to various teams playing in the 2017–18 Belgian First Amateur Division to get more playing time: Benjamin Bambi and Jordy Lokando were sent to Heist, striker Din Sula to Lommel and winger Leo Njengo to Dessel Sport.

Finally, on transfer deadline day, three more players arrived: defender Benjamin Boulenger was loaned from Charleroi, 20 year old Nigerian winger Godwin Odibo was signed from Nath Boys Academy and experienced Belgian defender Koen Persoons was brought in from Lokeren. Although Ivorian international goalkeeper Copa had announced his retirement already a few weeks before, he arrived one day after the end of the transfer window on a free basis from Lokeren as an experienced backup and coach for Nick Gillekens, Laurent Henkinet and youngster Andreas Suederick.

During the 2017–18 winter transfer window, OH Leuven was much less active. Geert Berben had both not been receiving much playing time and was therefore loaned out to Oosterzonen Oosterwijk. Also loaned out was Thomas Azevedo, who was unhappy to be used only as a substitute and returned on loan to his former team Lommel.

Finally, Mamadou Bagayoko, who had only been signed during the summer and did feature regularly in the team, was loaned out to Belgian First Division A team Mechelen where he was again reunited with Dennis van Wijk who was previously in charge at OH Leuven when Bagayoko joined the team. On the incoming side, despite already having four goalkeepers, the Thai owners behind Kind Power brought in Thailand national football team first goalkeeper Kawin Thamsatchanan from Muangthong United on a five-year deal.

Before the start of the season, manager Michael Appleton resigned to become assistant manager at Leicester City. His replacement Pep Clotet, formerly assistant manager at Leeds United, in contrast to Appleton's policy of signing promising young British players, signed a mix of foreign players, among them Dwight Tiendalli, Xemi Fernández, Ivo Pękalski, Agon Mehmeti and Ricardinho (the first Brazilian to play for Oxford), and seasoned British pros including Jonathan Obika from rivals Swindon Town, James Henry, Mike Williamson and John Mousinho.

After 15 games the club were in the play-off places, but form declined through the late autumn.

Thanakarnjanasuth appointed Karl Robinson as the club's permanent manager on 22 March 2018. Robinson had to wait five games for his first win, but his aim of retaining the club's League One status was achieved with three wins from the last five games of the season. The club finished in 16th place on 56 points, six points above the relegation zone.
