DETROIT – From the moment he was selected in the first round of the 2000 NHL draft, Windsor, Ontario native Steve Ott dreamed of some day wearing a Red Wings sweater.
The 33-year-old agitating forward who has logged nearly 800 games while wearing crests of the Dallas Stars, Buffalo Sabres and St. Louis Blues, will finally get his wish this season.
That’s because Ott and the Red Wings reached an agreement on a one-year contract late Friday afternoon.
“To be honest with you I’ve waited for this moment ever since I was drafted,” Ott said.
