Player Notes
September 12, 2008
Jarkko Ruutu joined his new teammates and is ready and willing to do whatever it is the team wants him to do in the pursuit of victories, according to Slam Sports. "I've never drawn a line on what I can and can't do," Ruutu has said. "I'll do whatever it takes to win."

Our View:Ruutu, voted the third dirtiest player in hockey in a poll on Sports Illustrated, has a career-high of 10 goals so he isn't likely to set the world on fire on the offensive side of the puck. What he will do is play with a passion, something the Sens have often been said to have avoided as if it were the plague the past couple of seasons.

TSN.ca reports that the Ottawa Senators have signed Jarkko Ruutu to a three-year, $3.9 million deal.

Our View:Ruutu should add some grit to the Sens back line, he served 138 minutes in the sin bin last year. He also scored six goals and 10 assists.
