‘Ottawa’ Sens Sign Alfie to One-Year Extension as Senior Adviser
Daniel Alfredsson will return in his current role next season.
The Senators confirmed Monday Alfredsson will be back as senior adviser to hockey operations on a one-year extension.
“When I started this last year, I was not really sure what to expect,” said Alfredsson in a statement. “This job has turned out to be exactly what I am looking for – the opportunity to be flexible and see so many of (the) different requirements of working in an NHL front office
“I’ve been able to do just about everything I could imagine, from being part of scouting meetings to working one-on-one with the players on the ice. Coming back to do this just feels right, both personally and professionally and I look forward to helping the front office, coaches and players in any way I can to help us win.”
Owner Eugene Melnyk is happy to have Alfredsson back.
