The Ottawa Senators have made a strategic move by signing defenseman Lassi Thomson to a one-year contract worth $775,000. This decision reflects the team's commitment to bolstering their defense as they aim to improve their standings in the upcoming NHL season. Thomson, a former first-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, has shown promise in his development and is expected to compete for a spot on the Senators' blue line.
Thomson has spent the past season honing his skills with the Belleville Senators in the AHL, where he demonstrated his ability to contribute offensively and defensively.

General Manager Pierre Dorion expressed optimism about Thomson's potential impact on the team. "We believe Lassi has the skills and determination to make a significant contribution to our defense," Dorion stated. Fans are eager to see how Thomson will adapt to the higher level of competition in the NHL and whether he can secure a permanent role with the Senators this season. As the team shifts its focus to the upcoming season, all eyes will be on this young defenseman as he seeks to make his mark in the league.
