Ottawa Senators (present and past) TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

UFA Matt Beleskey has solicited interest from a dozen clubs. Agent Murray Kuntz says Beleskey will visit a few Eastern Conf clubs this week

A left-winger the Sens could use.  22 goals last year, however previous high was 11, so hard to tell if this is a blip or a trend.

I think it was Bobby Mac that tweeted a link to this article (by Kevin Allen) about the two 25 UFAs. Lists what they bring and what would be a good fit -- no mention of Ottawa in any of them (guess he thinks we're set )

Vegas, signings, draft ... #Sens development camp tomorrow... There can't possibly be MORE Sens news this morning, can there??

They're toying with us. One of Hoffman/Wideman/Condra singing?

Nice try. Please refrain from posting in the wrong thread.

Thanks!

Wideman one year two way.

Where's SSF's usual "Ay trades?" post? No trades, but there is a player signing happening.

BREAKING: #Sens agree to terms with defenceman Chris Wideman on a one-year, two-way contract.

Whoa! Didn't expect that.

Very surprised - pleasantly surprised.

Not surprised at all. Nobody was gonna give him a one way.

He probably fell for the old "keep putting in the work and you'll get called up."

His contract is $600K NHL and $400K AHL. Guess that's why he signed. $400K guaranteed.

You sure about that? Benoit got a 1-way and he was older and didn't win the Eddie Shore.

He'll stay in Ottawa. No better option on the 3rd pairing on the right.

Anyhow, $400K guaranteed is not that far from the NHL minimum, and knowing their lack of depth on the left-side he figures he will get as good a chance here as anywhere. Chance to show off and earn a bigger contract for next season.

Playing in Buffalo could have been a tough year for a rookie D-man.
