In a tidy bit of business, the Senators signed a player who’s not not known for his veteran grit.
Today the organization formally announced that it had signed Penn State’s Andrew Sturtz to a two-year entry-level contract. According to the official press release, Sturtz will not join Belleville or Ottawa this season. Instead, he will remain at Penn State through the remainder of the school year to complete his degree before joining the rest of the Senators’ prospects at development camp this summer.
Any time the Senators sign an undrafted collegiate free agent to an entry-level contract, it doesn’t really register or move the needle with this fan base and it’s understandable.
