On Thursday night, Senators owner Eugene Melnyk announced that Daniel Alfredsson had been appointed as senior advisor of hockey operations.
He's back, and likely for good.
Though a role in hockey operations seems like exactly the right spot for the former Senators captain, for all the fans care, Alfie could have taken a minimum wage job at the Farm Boy Fresh Zone. It's just great for him to be present with the team.
Alfredsson return means another very strong voice and big brain in hky ops. Also hugely important mentor to a young superstar captain.
