He’s here. Well not quite. But another big step in that direction.
Today, the Ottawa Senators announced that they have signed defenceman Jake Sanderson to a three-year entry-level contract. Sanderson is expected to join the team this week and according to the news release, could play games “within the month”.
Here’s Pierre Dorion on the signing.
“We’re very pleased to get Jake under contract. An important cog to our future on defence, Jake is an effortless skater who possesses all the tools to be a complete NHL defenceman. A mature leader despite his young age, he played big minutes in college with a blend of poise and confidence. While he still has progress to make in overcoming a current injury, we are hopeful of seeing him in our lineup before the end of the season.”
