The Ottawa Senators have announced the signing of restricted free agent Colin White to a six-year deal worth $4.75 million annually. The new deal will keep him in Ottawa through the 2024-25 season.
We've identified Colin as one of our core players who will help drive the team's success in both the short and long term," Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said in a news release "Colin plays the 200-foot game that is so coveted in today's NHL. He can skate, play on both special teams, and is a character player and leader who loves hockey and this city.
White had 41 points last season in 71 games, including 14 goals. The 22-year-old was selected 21st overall in the 2015 draft by the Sens.
