History

2008-09: Jordan Fransoo played in 28 games for the Battlefords Stars (Saskatoon Midget AAA) and scored 1 goal with 4 assists while accumulating 32 PMs.

2009-10: Fransoo, drafted by the Brandon Wheat Kings in the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft, made his WHL debut in Brandon's second round playoff series with Saskatoon after spending the season with the Midget AAA Saskatoon Contacts. Fransoo had no points or penalty minutes in his four games with the Wheat Kings. In 53 games with the Contacts (including playoffs) Fransoo scored 12 goals with 23 assists and had 77 PMs.

2010-11: Fransoo had a solid first season in the WHL on a Brandon squad that featured several first-year players. In 63 games, he scored 6 goals with 12 assists and was +4 with 72 PMs. Brandon finished third in the WHL's East Division but had a 2-1 first round lead over highly-favored Medicine Hat in a first round playoff series before the Tigers won three straight games. Fransoo had 1 assist and was -2 with 6 PMs in the six playoff games. Fransoo was selected in the 7th round (186th) by the Ottawa Senators in the 2011 NHL Draft.

2011-12: Fransoo returned to Brandon for his second WHL season after attending the Buffalo Sabres camp and played 41 games for the Wheat Kings. He was traded to Victoria at the WHL trading deadline as part of a multi-player deal that sent the Royals' leading scorer Kevin Sundher (BUF) to Brandon. Fransoo finished the season with 2 goals and 18 assists in 71 games between the two teams and was minus-two with 45 penalty minutes. The Royals reached the WHL players despite winning just 21 games after finishing fourth in the B.C. Division. Fransoo was minus-two with 2 assists in the four-game playoff series with Kamloops.

 

Talent Analysis

Fransoo is a bit of an unknown coming out of the WHL but the Senators staff like his competitive level and tall frame, which should fill out as he matures. As with most late-round picks there is much uncertainty. Fransoo's work ethic and desire to succeed are both plusses. More of a defensive defenseman, he has shown the ability to contribute on the scoresheet.

 

Future

Fransoo is in his fifth WHL season, and will play for Victoria in 2013-14.

The Ottawa Senators have nine prospects presently at the junior level led by former first round picks Cody Ceci, Stefan Noesen, and Matt Puempel. The organization addressed its weak goaltending depth in the 2012 entry draft by selecting Chris Driedger of the WHL and Francois Brassard of the QMJHL, both of whom are having strong seasons. The lone junior prospect Ottawa has outside of Canadain major junior is Robbie Baillargeon of the USHL.

The future of the Ottawa Senators looks bright. The Senators are considered to have one of the better pools of young talent in the NHL and, while some top draftees have recently cemented themselves on the Ottawa roster, most notably Erik Karlsson and Jared Cowen, there are many prospects on the verge of becoming solid NHL contributors in the near future. The club has quality and various skill-sets in all positions and has worked to draft where they previously had weak depth.

As an organization, the Ottawa Senators were able to gain invaluable experience during the recent playoff season. The NHL club exceeded most predictions and made the playoffs in what was supposed to be a rebuilding season. Many observers credited a portion of their success to a core group of young players who played a major role in the Binghamton Senators championship run in the 2010-11 AHL playoffs.
