8th year left wing Shane Prince(33) takes some decent half season totals (6 goals, 13 assists) in 30 KHL games for Sibir Novosibirsk after beginning his first season away from North American pro hockey with HC Davos of the NLA to a new one-year deal with Dinamo Riga.
The former Ottawa Senators‘ draft pick wasn’t given a qualifying offer by the club he was traded to New York Islanders after spending most of the 2nd year on the sidelines with a pair of injuries.
He has 128 NHL games to his credit with pretty decent numbers for the limited minutes he played (12-26-38) and 210 in the AHL with 67 goals, 83 assists and a +40 rating.
The 26-year old seems to be just getting his game started in Russia.
Shane Prince (18)
Ottawa Senators‘ 2nd round pick in the 2011 draft (#61 overall), rookie left wing Shane Prince(18) had himself a good first pro season, 18 goals and 17 assists in 65 AHL games for minor league affiliate Binghamton Senators and added another marker in three playoff contests.
He absolutely exploded in his last two seasons in juniors with Ottawa 67’s notching basically a point and a half per game.
At 5’11” 189 lbs., he’s not exactly small but never really plays a big game and more than anything seems to slip almost unnoticed into the open areas to come up with scoring opportunities.
He has a three year entry level deal that keeps him in the system through 2015.
The 20-year is currently on recall with the parent club serving as one of the “black aces” playoffs’ practice squad.
He’s likely due an NHL look in his sophomore season.
