The organization just did Saulnier a favor, he will get a better chance to make his mark in Belleville. The 28-year-old forward had not yet played with the Rocket this season and had one point with the Trois-Rivières Lions in two games.
This is the second year in a row that the Rocket has traded a player for future consideration to the Senators. In October 2021, Laval traded Jake Lucchini to the Senators, giving him a second chance.
