The Ottawa Senators headed into training camp with some competition for roster spots. With Derick Brassard and later Colin White both delaying their season due to injuries, a couple extra forward spots available. Nick Paul, Filip Chlapik, Chris DiDomenico and Max McCormick were at the front of the pack, yet all have been cut and sent to the AHL.
Surprisingly, Alex Formenton still remains on the main roster with pre-season closed. The Sens signed him to a three year entry-level contract this afternoon, bringing the possibility of Formenton playing on opening night a little bit closer to reality.
