Probably the best bit of news we’ve had so far this summer, the Ottawa Senators have signed Brady Tkachuk to his entry-level contract.
Tkachuk scored 8 goals and 23 assists in his 40 NCAA games for Boston University last season. That was good for 5th on the team for goals, 1st for assists and 4th for points as the only 17 year old on the roster.
It’s a three year contract (determined by the CBA), worth $925,000 in the NHL and $70,000 in the AHL.
Ottawa and Belleville aren’t the only options for where he could end up, though.
