Nice. Paul had a solid season last year and he's entering his prime. Bottom six power forward.

 

[kabidjan18]

Good for them. A good player for cheap. And will help them easily hit the floor.

 

[Langdon Alger]

The man with two first names get himself a nice deal.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Watched him a few times in person for the Battalion, always thought he was an NHL player so glad to see this

 

[Khelandros]

Nick Paul, the career AHL player that wants top 3 money on every franchise I've had him on in EA.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Excellent!

 

[PullHard]

Ottawa has solidified the bottom of their roster with hardnosed players who should help to keep opponents honest with their younger finesse players

Wow, 7, now 8 replies for Nick Paul.

Wow, 7, now 8 replies for Nick Paul.

He’s the most popular guy in the city of Ottawa today.

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

Oooh yeah, good signing. Always wanted Paul to succeed since he is the only piece in the Spezza trade still in the league IIRC.

Based on last week’s draft, that’s the ultimate plan too. Lots of grit, which will be challenging for teams the division once more players develop. I think the mix of skilled offence, grit, and defensive-minded players that Ottawa is going with could work out well. Glad to see Nick Paul get the extension. He’s been working hard for it.

Well, Chiasson is still in the league, just not with Ottawa.

Is Paul the longest tenured Senator?

I think technically it would be Hogberg since he was drafted in 2013. Paul was acquired a year later.

 

[Danythegod]

Guess you can say the Sens won the Spezza trade now

 

[TkachukMyAho]

Lots of jokes, but Paul is a solid player. I like what he brings and he seems to have more upside than he's let on this far.

Depends how you look at it.

Longest in terms of having played an NHL game with the Sens? Nick Paul
Longest in terms of having a permanent spot on the roster? probably Chabot

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Good deal for both sides. Paul is big and mobile and plays a smart, simple game. He will fit well with how we are constructing our team and could still emerge to some extent. I think he will be on Seattle's shortlist.

 

[Hale The Villain]

And Hogberg has been in the Sens organization the longest (since the 2013 draft).

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Good 4th liner who makes little to no mistakes.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

And Hogberg has been in the Sens organization the longest (since the 2013 draft).

Eh, I dunno.... Wikstrand could sign any day now.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Eh, I dunno.... Wikstrand could sign any day now.

Heard he has a job in a grocery store.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Heard he has a job in a grocery store.

Well, with the Swedish minimum wage being what it is I suppose we simply cannot compete.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Good bottom 6 signing and very defensively responsible. Second PK unit perhaps.
