Ottawa Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki may find himself in a different jersey during the 2020-21 season for the first time in his career.
"As of right now, we feel it’s highly likely that we’ll be testing the waters of free agency for the first time in Mark’s career," his agent, Steve Bartlett, said, according to The Athletic's Hailey Salvian.
"I feel there’s a lot to Mark that makes sense for a number of teams."
Bartlett went on to confirm that it isn't a matter of the Senators undervaluing Borowiecki's place with the team, but rather that it's just about his client exploring what free agency has to offer.
The 31-year-old has quickly turned into a fan favorite in Ottawa since the Senators drafted him in 2008. He posted a career-high seven goals and 18 points in just 53 games during the 2019-20 season.
Back in February, general manager Pierre Dorion claimed that he hoped that he could make Borowiecki a Senator for life, according to TSN 1200.
