Senators Legend Daniel Alfredsson Reportedly Returning to the Team
The Ottawa Senators have been a team on the rise over the past few years, and now, it appears one team legend is on the way back to help that continue as the years go on.
Their Captain returns
According to a report from the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch, the sale of the team is expected in the next few months, and with that is the potential return of former captain Daniel Alfredsson.
It's expected that will be the case once the sale is closed.
That report has Alfredsson interested in a role with the player development department, and given the young talents they have coming through the organization, it's the perfect fit for him.
A franchise legend
Alfredsson spent all but one year of his 18-year career in Ottawa, posting an impressive 426 goals and 1,108 points over 1,178 games, and is now returning to help the franchise he's become synonymous with.
The Eastern Conference is as tough as its ever been right now, and with a talented group, the Senators have a chance to prove some people wrong, and with an eye on the future, this could be the perfect reunion for both parties.
