In case you missed it, there was some intersting news about the Senators and Patrick Wiercioch today.
Wiercioch will be joining Canada’s world championship team in Prague to join a Canadian defence that includes Tyson Barrie, Brent Burns, Dan Hamhuis, Aaron Ekblad, Jake Muzzin, and David Savard.
Just a few weeks ago Patrick Wiercioch was a consistent healthy scratch and a player who was in-and-out on Ottawa’s bottom pair. However, with some late season success Wiercioch found a spot back in Ottawa’s top 4 after Jared Cowen was scratched in his favour.
This also comes after months of speculation where Wiercioch and his 2 million dollar salary were being dumped by the Senators.
