The Ottawa Senators have taken care of a little more business, signing Filip Chlapik to a new contract. The one-year, two-way deal will pay him $735K at the NHL level. Senators GM Pierre Dorion had this to say on his young forward:
Filip’s a competitive player who works hard. He has applied himself to becoming an important player for us in Belleville. We’re confident that work ethic will be equally as effective for him as he strives to become the same type of player in Ottawa.
Chlapik, 23, still hasn’t established himself as a full-time NHL option, but did play 31 games with Ottawa this season. The 48th overall pick in 2015, he has 11 points in 56 career games. As Dorion points out, he has become a core piece of the Belleville lineup and could very well make the jump in the coming years.
While he waited for a new deal with Ottawa, Chlapik had signed on to play with HC Sparta Praha in the Czech professional league. Unfortunately, he has suited up just three times because of the COVID-19 situation overseas, which has put that league on pause. He has one goal in those three games.
Chlapik’s new contract leaves only Christian Jaros left for the Senators to sign, with an arbitration hearing on the books for November 7.
Gavin, may want to look at second sentence ( will pay gun $735K) on story of signing of Chlapik. Happy Halloween everybody , Stay Safe, don’t eat all the candy
@riverrat64 – And, don’t forget to not use the “gun” on kids trying to steal the Halloween candy. Send ’em to Jonas’ house for a bag full of mini-carrots and celery (the really green and bitter stuff)… And, don’t go near the Toffifee — the business end of a goalie paddle is waiting for that errant hand! :)
^ I don’t understand this and it sounds ridiculous
Young Gun was what I meant to say , in comment sounds better that way
@pawtucket – Some of it means something for OverDrive fans. The rest was just playing with words… BTW, after Gavin completes the edit, you have no frame of reference.
Still reads like you’re trying to impress hickey fans with your “wit”, but that’s nothing new
Dude we gotta light up the comment boards for these writers, they bring all the sports info to one place, and this ain’t some whackness like HockeyBuzz it’s all real, this jablonski psychopath is paying homage to the writers on here, trolling and crazy comments that create responses are better for the app, and you can literally not comment, that is a real possibility, it’s super easy, all you do is don’t comment, but the more comments the better doesn’t matter what they are
Fair enough
@pawtucket – We’ve gone on this Merry-Go-Round before. I’m not trying to impress anybody. Sometimes just adding a dose of “light relief”, that can be enjoyed or ignored, your choice.
