OTTAWA - The Senators have decided to keep highly-regarded prospect Mika Zibanejad with their farm team in Binghamton rather than allow him to participate in the world junior championship next month in Russia.
Zibanejad scored the winning goal to give Sweden the gold medal at the last WJC.
“We feel like keeping Mika here to play in North America is the best decision for his development," Senators GM Bryan Murray said in a statement Thursday afternoon. "As a young player and person, he’s learning how to play the North American style and continues to progress playing for (coach) Luke (Richardson) in Binghamton.
“Our opinion is that the best way to continue his progress towards becoming an impact player with the Senators is to spend the full season here.”
