Sens Nation - Your Ottawa Senators Podcast

The Ottawa Senators made big changes in their comms department by hiring Ian Mendes and Sylvain St-Laurent, who both covered the team in this market for a long time. Former first-rounder Colin White remains an unrestricted free agent, and his phone doesn't appear to be ringing. Could that be the end of the line for a player who was once such a highly ranked (and well-paid) prospect in the organization? White was chosen 21st overall in 2015 with many Ottawa fans yelling they should have taken Travis Konecny (who went 24th to Philly). Trivia: Who are the only four Ottawa 67s drafted by the Senators?
