Ottawa Senators sign defenseman Jonathan Aspirot
As announced Monday, the Ottawa Senators have inked defenseman Jonathan Aspirot to a three-year, entry level contract.
Aspirot, a 20-year old Quebec native, spent his first professional season with the American Hockey League's Belleville Senators, after going undrafted and signing a two-year, two-way contract with the organization ahead of the 19-20 season.
Through 44 games with Belleville, Aspirot registered 16 points (2G, 14A.) Following the seasons suspension, the defenseman would tie for sixth on the team, with a plus/minus of +14.
Prior to joining the professional ranks, the young defenseman spent his junior career with the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Moncton Wildcats. Through three seasons with the club, Aspirot would tally 73 points (22G, 51A.) He would receive invites to the Senators' annual development camp following both the 17-18 and 18-19 seasons.
Ottawa Senators General Manager Pierre Dorion spoke on Aspirot's play;
"Jonathan is a player, with credit to our amateur scouting staff, that we've kept tabs on since he was a development camp invitee in 2018.
He's long demonstrated great hockey sense and exceptional determination to the point where he became a regular among Belleville's defence corps last season. His progression has collectively indicated to our hockey staff that he has become a legitimate NHL prospect."
