While he doesn’t carry quite the same hype as a Jimmy Vesey or Samuel Girard, Max Veronneau signed with the Ottawa Senators as one of the top college free agents available this offseason. A local player, growing up in Ottawa, he spent his last four seasons playing for Princeton University, where he torched the ECAC division with fellow local talent Ryan Kuffner (who signed with the Detroit Red Wings).
The dynamic duo of Veronneau and Kuffner were the driving force behind Princeton’s offence. Kuffner became their all-time leading goal scorer, and Veronneau served almost exclusively as his setup man.
