He's been in the AHL for a long time without ever getting an NHL cup of coffee, so I doubt he'd be first or even third in line for an NHL callup here.
As to the second point, the answer there should be pretty obvious. No.
In short- I wouldn't go adding him to your fantasy roster, thinking you're being clever and getting the jump on him.

The vet has the advantage when you're looking at a 7D because you can scratch him 4 games out of 5 without feeling like you're doing something wrong. I thought we might sign that Morrow even though he was terrible. But he would need to look good in Hartford, and there would need to be injuries.
Actually, Ebert last played in the AHL back in the spring of 2017--he's been playing in Europe (most recently in Sweden) until he was signed by Ottawa. Had pretty good numbers last year at Orebro last year.
Not suggesting he'll ever see the NHL, but he's pretty much a complete unknown at this point.

And he was involved in winning two championships.
His numbers looked good in Europe.

If you look at our right side it goes like this:
1. Trouba
2. DeAngelo
3. Fox
4. Smith
If there was a couple injuries and a need to call up a right handed D we have Keane, Ebert and Raddysh. IMO--Keane ain't physically ready from what I saw of him in Traverse and his one game in preseason. Raddysh didn't even get that. So a 25 year old Ebert with some KHL experience and coming off a very good SHL season (led his team in scoring) has a shot if a call up is needed.

I’ve seldom seen a guy drop the way Ebert did in 2012.
Granted, scouts were very divided on him at the time. But some actually had him ranked second overall in the preseason. Even the average ranking had him comfortably in the top 10 - ahead of several notable names, including Trouba.

What I meant was that he had a very long stretch in the AHL that never facilitated an NHL callup, not that he was most recently in the AHL.
Top-5, "can't miss" prospect leading up to his draft year. Taken dead last. Crazy story.
There are certainly decent tools there, but he's most likely just a Hartford option and will likely return to Europe next year to earn more money.

Did he ever play on us hockey teams with former or current Rangers? I'm pretty sure he did but I can't find anything that can confirm that.
Also here's what Senators GM Dorian had to say about him just a few months ago: Senators sign depth defenceman Nick Ebert | The Telegram

He played on numerous occasions with Vincent LoVerde, and also Paul Mara, Kris Newbury, and Ethan Werek when they were all pros. Some other random guys as well. He played with Patrik Virta last season when Virta was still our property, so the pro scouts would have seen him then. He was also coached by Bob Boughner who overlapped with guys in our organization like Kono and Kjellberg, among others.
This guy's thread on the Prospect Board is hilarious, when you go from First couple of pages to the last couple of pages. It's basically everyone saying he's gonna be a top-5 pick to 'yo wtf happened, how'd this guy drop so much'
RD Nick Ebert - Windsor Spitfires, OHL (2012, 211th overall, Los Angeles)
I have to agree with the person who said he's probably not even the 1st or 2nd call up option from Hartford. He'd have to seriously impress to move up and I doubt he will.
