5. Matt O’Connor
Goaltender – Boston University — Free Agent Signing (Ottawa Senators)
NCAA 6foot5 204lbs
O’Connor was one of the NCAA’s premier free agents available and the Senators were able to snag him by extending hima 2-year entry level deal this summer. O’Connor is a big man at 6foot5 and holds promise to one day play in the NHL. He’s got some things to work on and is expected to play in Binghamton to compete for the starting role there along with Chris Driedger.
For the Senators, the O’Connor signing makes the NHL goaltending situation even more complicated.
