Ottawa Senators: Top 10 Prospects Entering 2018

2. Colin White, C [21] (1-21, 2015)

Stats (Belleville Senators, AHL): 47 gp, 11 g, 16 a, 27 p, 2 PPG (7 A), 2 SHG, 1 ENG, 92 SOG, .57 pts/g; 21 gp, 2 g, 4 a, 6 p. Ottawa Senators, NHL

Colin White had six points in 21 NHL games last season. In the AHL, he had 27 in 47 games. He, like Brown, has a more limited ceiling than the Ottawa Senators initially hoped. He’ll likely settle into a role as a middle-six center, one who’s a better playmaker than goal scorer.

He was good shorthanded in the AHL this past season and had decent shot metrics, which means he could settle into a role as a two-way, possession-driving center. Surrounding him with talented wingers down the road could make him into a good player.

It seems like White is NHL ready, and has made the team through several cuts already. Even if he doesn’t end up as a center this year, playing on the second or third line as a wing, NHL experience is NHL experience. He’ll likely be in for a guaranteed position with the Ottawa Senators, which drives up his position on this list. Again, he doesn’t seem like he has the greatest ceiling, but he’s got the other two categories locked up.
