At just 23, Merilainen’s likely to start the season in the AHL with Belleville, but he’s also the injury insurance the Senators need if Ullmark or Ersson go down. The catch? He’ll need to clear waivers to head down — a small but real chance another team could claim him. Training camp will reveal if he’s ready to step in when called upon.
