Yesterday it became official: the Senators sent Thomas Chabot back to the Saint John Sea Dogs of QMJHL.
We could sort of see this coming over the past week or so, considering he could not even get into the lineup after poor defensive performances exhibited by the team. It certainly is not the end of the world that he will go back to Junior, but the way that Ottawa handled the situation is a head-scratcher, and I don’t think they did themselves any favours.
At the end of the day, I am not going to pretend like I know for a fact that Chabot would have been a good player this season.
