The theme of adding former Toronto Maple Leafs continues for the Ottawa Senators. After completing the Cody Ceci trade, Dorion has acquired a couple of their UFA cast-offs. When Dorion said he was aiming for a few veteran players, Ron Hainsey was not what most people expected, although perhaps we shouldn’t be shocked. Both players are signed to 1 year terms, with the financial details still unknown on Tyler Ennis.
Hainsey is poisted to act as a mentor for all of the young defencemen on the team, and if Smith can monitor his ice time to purely serve this purpose it might not be so frustrating.
