-The Ottawa Senators have officially announced the signings of Jakub Culek and Darren Kramer.
–Nichols reports that Sens prospect Jean-Gabriel Pageau has signed his ELC.
–Joy Lindsay Tweeted that the Sens will qualify all their RFA’s except Craig Schira (so Nick Foligno, Erik Karlsson, Jim O’Brien, Kaspars Daugavins, Stephane Da Costa, Eric Gryba, and Nikita Filatov).
–Nichols‘ looks at players looking to rebound from last year (Bobby Butler, Peter Regin, and Matt Carkner). The only positive he can find for Butler is his Corsi rating; he cites Carkner‘s locker room popularity and “skill set” (presumably pugilism) as positives that outweigh wonky knees; Regin doesn’t require much explanation–if he’s healthy he’ll be fine.
–Patrick Wiercioch talked about his throat injury this season, “I probably made the wrong decision lifting my chin up … I wasn’t expecting it and before I knew it I was down on the ice. That’s when the trainers ran in pretty quick. The injury happened Friday and I woke up Monday. I was extremely fortunate and will be forever indebted to my girlfriend for sticking by my side. She was phenomenal through the whole thing. I hope it’s behind me now. That’s why I’m here this summer training, I don’t feel this injury should have any impact on my ability to perform at training camp to push for a spot on the team.”
-Binghamton Senator Bobby Raymond, who played half the year for the team on an AHL contract, won the Kelly Cup (ECHL).
