In a post on X, the Ottawa Senators announced that they've traded former second-round pick Egor Sokolov to the Utah Hockey Club in exchange for forward Jan Jenik.
"News Release: The #Sens have acquired forward Jan Jenik in a trade with @utahhockeyclub in exchange for forward Egor Sokolov:"
"🚨 TRADE 🚨
We have received Egor Sokolov from Ottawa!
#UtahHC"
Ottawa Senators General Manager Steve Staios commented on the trade this afternoon, saying that believe Jenik has offensive upside and is versitile, being able to play center or on the wing.
"Jan is a versatile and skilled forward," said Staios. "Capable of playing at both centre and on the wing, he's tenacious and demonstrates good offensive upside."
