With Belleville’s camp looming, the Senators have announced the assignment of 22 players to the AHL squad and released Jack Skille from his PTO.
Logan Brown, Drake Batherson and Rudolfs Balcers are the names the stand out most from this list.
With the long term injury to Jean Gabriel Pageau, many (myself included) believed Brown would have every opportunity under the sun to make the opening night roster for Ottawa. As for Batherson and Balcers, both have shown the skill and hockey IQ it will take to play games for the NHL club, it just appears they have a few people to pass on the depth chart before that can happen.
