32. Jason York
Stats: 380GP, 25G, 124P
Height/Weight: 6foot2, 195lbs
Acquired: Trade with Anaheim (w. Shaun Van Allen for Marc Moro and Ted Drury)
The trade that brought Jason York as well as Center Shaun Van Allen to Ottawa ended up being a steal for the team. In Van Allen, the Senators found a solid 3rd/4th line center who would play almost 500 games for the Senators and in York the team received a minute munching, two-way defender.
York’s 380 games are good for 5th all time among Senators defenceman and his 124 points are bettered only by Erik Karlsson, Wade Redden, Zdeno Chara and Chris Phillips.
York would play with the Sens from 1996 until 2001, when he signed with the Anaheim (Mighty, at the time) Ducks as a 31-year-old free agent. York finished his career with 757 games and 229 points, the majority of each coming in Ottawa.
