Senators Claim Jayce Hawryluk Off Waivers From Panthers

The forward had one goal and two assists in 15 games with the Cats.

The Ottawa Senators announced a minor transaction today, as they claimed forward Jayce Hawryluk off of waivers from the Florida Panthers:

The 24-year old was selected 32nd overall by Florida in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft and spent most of this season as a depth forward for the Panthers, tallying one goal and two assists in 15 games. This is coming off of a great 2018-19 campaign with the Springfield Thunderbirds of the AHL, in which he scored 8 goals and 24 assists in 31 games.

This move by Pierre Dorion indicates that the Senators will be at least somewhat busy leading up to the trade deadline, as they’re now at 49 total contracts including 14 forwards on the main roster, and are expected to move quite a few players, possibly including Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Dylan Demelo and Tyler Ennis. Furthermore, Dorion has previously stressed that the organization wants to take their time developing prospects in Belleville, and adding Hawryluk via waivers is a move that fits this mentality.

Welcome to Ottawa, Jayce!
