The Ottawa Senators have decided that Scott Sabourin has done enough to deserve a contracting, signing the veteran AHL forward to a one-year two-way contract. Sabourin had been in training camp on a professional tryout. The deal is worth $700K at the NHL level.
Now 27, Sabourin has carved out quite the career for himself after going undrafted. Taking on a physical role, he has played 308 AHL contests and recorded 646 penalty minutes. His pesky forechecking style and willingness to drop the gloves endeared himself to Senators fans in training camp, and he’ll get a chance to continue showing what he can do this season.
His two-way deal by no means guarantees any time in the NHL, but for a team like Ottawa that is using this season as a development track, having a player like Sabourin wouldn’t be the worst idea. With so many young players expected in the lineup, the veteran could help them along with anything he’s learned over his years in professional hockey while being a sort of protection on the ice.
WHO? oh right the guy that Matthews had to look at the back of his jersey to see who he was! Another classic Sens signing.
Because we all know the Leafs only sign good players ;-)
i mean they get alot better ones then Ottawa , yea
Amni,
What kinda handle is that let alone are you kidding me sens fan haha haha !
Seriously – the Leafs have never signed a player for their minor leagues in the history of their organization. Every single player they have signed has been for their first line. This is why they have won every single Stanley Cup since 1967.
Amni,
What lay off the drugs/alcohol bud. And sens won last what 1927 shut it snag!
When did I say anything about the Senators?
Amni,
Clearly you just suspected you were Sens fan . Then whose your team?
I cheer for every Canadian team, but Toronto.
Amni,
Not surprised you have that many teams you sound like a d bag! Only one Canadian “team” Team Canada ja!
I thought my Chicago Black Hawks won 3 Stanley Cups since 1967 , I think that is right have to check !
I just like poking at cocky Toronto Fans. Pretty much every team has had more playoff success than them since 1967. Chicago had a fun team to watch for their cup wins.
Amni,
Once again your team is who? You have yet to say which basically makes your comments period being a Leafs hater. That’s argument would be valid if you states the team you like and also. I haven’t been alive that long so it’s irrelevant.
Jesus Christ, cuz. Just ask him on a date already. You’re spent enough time flirting…
