Even though defenseman Thomas Chabot still has one year remaining on his entry level contract, he's already expressing his desire to remain a Senator. Chabot recently told Sportsnet writer Chris Johnston that he loves being in Ottawa and is hopeful that talks with the Senators will produce an extension.
Chabot was drafted 15th overall by the Senators in 2015 and has wasted no time proving his worth. In his rookie season, the blueliner potted nine goals and 25 points in 63 games. The 22-year-old upped his game even more last season, netting 14 goals and 42 assists for 55 points in 70 games, while also getting an invite to the NHL's All-Star Game.
With Ottawa in the midst of a rebuild, it should be some relief for Senators fans that young players with loads of potential want to remain with the team. 22-year-old Colin White recently signed a six-year extension worth $4.75 million annually.
