With a number of clubs around the NHL snapping up promising European free agents, the Ottawa Senators have thrown their hat into the ring with the signing of defenceman Olle Alsing.
The 23-year-old Swedish blueliner joins the Senators on a two-year entry-level contract, with a maximum potential cap hit of $925,000 per season should he feature on the NHL roster.
The left-handed shot, who stands at 5-foot-11, 170lbs, has spent his entire playing career in his home country – building up plenty of experience in both the SHL and Allsvenskan.
