Glad that the rumours of him becoming a UFA were wrong.

Some good news

 

[SensBrawler]

Sounds like he might play an NHL game this year. Wonder if that factored into his decision.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Glad that the rumours of him becoming a UFA were wrong.

Seemed like info put out there to hurry up the signing imo, glad they used the incentive to get him into games this season as they should have.

 

[BondraTime]

Look forward to seeing him suit up.

Those rumours need to be taken with a grain of salt,. Any guy who is drafted and finishing his last year is going to have that said about them; it's the easiest rumour to get a head start on without having any info.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Good to see. But a 2-year deal? How does that work? Will he still be under one more season of the rookie/ELC cap limit in his next deal...or is the last year wiped out because of his age?

 

[Joider]

Apparently, the idea is to play him on the Sens roster for the rest of the season. I like this, should give him some good experience and we have nothing to lose by playing him.

Think it has to do with burning a year,to get him signed....

 

[Micklebot]

Sweet. Can't wait to see him in action and where he is at this stage.

 

[armani]

Karlsson replacement.

Next Chris Wideman?

 

[BatherSeason]

Fantastic!! Nice to have some good news about this franchise. I would even give PR Dorion a high-5 for this.

Its a 2 year elc because of his age. He'll have one year on his ELC left after he plays a game.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Ah, this is nice to hear. Finally a shred of positivity.

 

[Samboni]

This is encouraging news. I hope that he pans out and cracks the lineup sometime.

 

[Smash88]

Good stuff!

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

I am guessing for Thursday.

Chabot- Ceci
Cleasson - Harpur
Boro - Wolanin

 

[Icelevel]

High fives in order. Good news. Excited to see him play.

 

[Brannstorm]

YEEEESSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Silencio]

I'm not too familiar with Wolanin, what's his ceiling (2nd pairing D?)

 

[Sun God Nika]

Interested to see what he gots. Not sold on him yet.

 

[Micklebot]

Karlsson replacement.

Next Chris Wideman?

For what it's worth, Wideman in his 4th year of College hockey put up 24 pts in 41 games whiles Wolanen just put up 35 in 40 games in his 3rd year, but I think he's a year older than Wideman was in his 4th year and I don't know how the CCHA compares to the NCHC so it's all pretty meaningless...

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I assume he is related to Craig Wolanin maybe?

 

[Sensung]

Good news.

 

[The Senators Guy]

Lovin it

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

I assume he is related to Craig Wolanin maybe?

Indeed. Craig's his father.
