Bobby Ryan lands with the Senators, Daniel Alfredsson lands with Detroit

Bobby Ryan, formerly of the Anaheim Ducks, signed a contract with the Ottawa Senators today.  Also, in a shocking twist-of-events, the captain of the Ottawa Senators, Daniel Alfredsson, who is a demi-god in the city of Ottawa, signed a one-year contract with Detroit.

I have met both of these players.   I even have a picture of myself with Bobby Ryan from when I was much younger.  I met him at the 2005 NHL Entry Draft in Ottawa. 

 

I met Alfie at the 2012 NHL All-Star Game in Ottawa.  Well, I did not really meet him, but I my dad

 

did get me his autograph with me standing there -Thanks Dad!

 

Anyway, Alfie seems like a class act and will be missed by many in the city of Ottawa.  The Mayor of Ottawa, Jim Watson, tweeted "RT @sensfoundation: Thank You @DAlfredsson11 for your passion and leadership on the ice and in the community.  #11 in our programs and #1 in our hearts."

 

What do you think of Detroit signing Alfie and Bobby Ryan signing with Ottawa?
