700-Game Veteran Buries His Former Team in New Interview

A former member of the Ottawa Senators is accusing the team of using him during his time there, and he's making it clear he's not happy about it at all.

Michael Del Zotto signed a two-year deal with the Sens back in 2021. Two months into the season, he found himself in the AHL, where he put up a record 10 goals and 27 points in 26 games. Del Zotto managed to get back to the NHL before the end of the season, but was bought out of the final year of his contract and moved on. In a new interview, he said a conversation with the team about why he was sent down initially left a bad taste in his mouth.

The Senators would be the last team Del Zotto played for in the NHL. He signed a deal with the Florida Panthers after leaving Ottawa, but only managed to play in the minors. He was eventually traded to Detroit, but was again restricted to playing in the AHL. Del Zotto won a cup with the St. Louis Blues in 2019.
