From the moment that the Senators announced on Twitter that Daniel Alfredsson would retire on December 4th and skate with the team during their warmup before their game against the New York Islanders to seeing Alfredsson appear alongside Bryan Murray in management’s suite during the Senators’ first round playoff series versus the Montreal Canadiens, it was only a matter of time before he re-joined the organization’s hockey operations department.
Well, you can officially mark September 17, 2015 as the date that it came to fruition.
Through a series of tweets tonight, Senators owner Eugene Melnyk announced that former captain Daniel Alfredsson had agreed to a deal to become the organization’s senior advisor of hockey operations.
