Colin White is officially in the mix.
The Ottawa Senators signed the skilled forward to a three-year, entry-level contract one week after he agreed to report to the team's AHL affiliate on an amateur tryout agreement.
#Sens Colin White, who had 3 points (1 goal) in three games while on ATO with @SenatorsAHL, is expected to meet the #Sens in Detroit.

White, who was selected 21st overall by the Senators in 2015, scored 35 goals and added 41 assists in 72 NCAA games with Boston College.
By playing him this season, the Senators will burn the first year off his contract, thereby making him eligible to become a restricted free agent in 2019.
Ottawa begins a home-and-home series with the Red Wings on Monday.
