Sanderson (hand) will be ready for the Senators' development camp in September, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanderson wasn't able to make his NHL debut this year due to a hand injury, but the fifth overall pick from the 2020 Entry Draft will be ready for Ottawa's development camp, and he'll presumably attend the Senators' training camp shortly thereafter. Sanderson racked up 26 points through 23 appearances with the University of North Dakota in 2021-22.

Sanderson, who's dealing with a hand injury, isn't expected to be ready to make his NHL debut before the end of the season, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanderson will almost certainly have to wait for the 2022-23 campaign to make his NHL debut. The fifth overall pick from the 2020 Entry Draft racked up 26 points through 23 appearances with the University of North Dakota this year.

Sanderson (hand) signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Senators on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ottawa's optimistic that Sanderson will heal up from hand surgery in time to make his NHL debut down the stretch this season. Even if he fails to do so, the 19-year-old defenseman will get an opportunity to compete for a spot with the big club in training camp next season. The Montana native was selected fifth overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, so he's not expected to need much AHL seasoning and could make the jump straight to the NHL once healthy.

Sanderson underwent hand surgery and will miss 4-6 weeks, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanderson remains a possibility to play for the Senators this season, though he'll need to sign his entry-level contract to do so. The 19-year-old was taken fifth overall in 2020 and posted 26 points in 23 games with the University of North Dakota this season. If he doesn't return before the end of the Senators season, it's likely Sanderson will make the jump to the professional ranks for 2022-23.

Sanderson is expected to make the NHL roster for the 2022-23 campaign according to general manager Pierre Dorian, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanderson racked up 26 points in 23 games for the University of North Dakota this season. The 2020 fifth-overall pick will need to sign an entry-level deal before he can link up with the Senators, something that could happen whenever the FIghting Hawks season concludes.

Sanderson has racked up two goals and four points through four games with the University of North Dakota this season.

EDGE Analysis

The Senators selected Sanderson with the fifth overall pick in the 2020 Entry Draft, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the 19-year-old blueliner sign his entry-level deal following the conclusion of this year's NCAA season. The 6-foot-2 lefty could get a brief audition with the big club this season, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the Senators send him to AHL Belleville after a few games to avoid burning a year off Sanderson's entry-level contract.
