One such player that the Ottawa Senators are rumoured to be bringing on board is right-handed shot Nick Ebert, who has spent the parts of the past two seasons playing for Örebro HK in the Swedish Hockey League.
According to a report by Hockey Sverige (in Swedish), Ebert has opted to leave Örebro to chase his dream of playing in the NHL – with the Senators being specifically mentioned as the team he is expected to join.
25-year-old Ebert has had a long road to reaching the NHL, with the Livingston, New Jersey native having the unique ‘honour’ of being the last person selected in his draft year.
