Boom.

50k overpaid

 

[MaKarter]

Ottawa Senators winger Parker Kelly just put together his best NHL season to date, posting career highs in almost every statistical category, including his eight goals and 18 points. He was excited to chip in more offensively and told us back in April that he credits a mindset change.

"I think just trying to stay consistent," said Kelly. "I think (2022-23) was a year where I maybe dwelled on things a little too long, like after a bad game, and it kind of snowballed. This year, I've (adopted) a 'whatever happens happens' mentality. The sun's always going to come up, and it's a new day."

Seems like a solid pickup

Hope the 50K doesn’t screw us over in the cap as sad as that sounds lol

 

[The Pwnerer]

You guys asked for a 4th liner, well here you go.

Edit: According to Sens forum, he pks and is a physical 4th liner. Can't be mad about that.

 

[Richard88]

Just give us the cup already

 

[Ararana]

Wonder if they try Kovalenko at center given that they tried that a lot over in the KHL.

Kelly - Kovalenko - Kivi

The KKK line, who could be upset about that

 

[the_fan]

8 goals 10 assists for the Sens this year. Could be a decent 4th line wing for us

 

[Avsfan1921]

Can he kill penalties? Hopefully.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

I had my heart set on Parker Lewis.

 

[BobRossColton]

How much time shorthanded?


Decided to answer my own question 175:44 3rd most on Ottawa

 

[PAZ]

Feel like the Avs just did a copy/paste to every available depth player to see who would sign for league minimum.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Just give us the cup already

 

[S E P H]

Just give us the cup already

No way Avs become even close to competing for the Cup until we realise what is going to happen to Nuke and Landeskog.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

2nd on the Sens in hits (171) behind only Brady Beast Tkachuk

3rd highest SH/game so a trusted PKer

Decent wheels and just had his best offensive season as a professional

Not bad

 

[BobRossColton]

Would've actually been 3rd with us too, 20 minutes behind Cale and toews

 

[McMetal]

I like this one, he's a really good energy 4th line/PK stalwart who has been on an upward trajectory. It's not a sexy pickup but every team needs guys like him.

 

[Emerica]

Can he kill penalties? Hopefully.

Yes

 

[Avsfan1921]

Yes

Thanks!

Bednar is looking at this and wondering how to neuter him already.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Nice. Love it, hes only 25 years old. Trust our proscouts.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Yeah this is actually a decent signing IMO. Pure 4th liner, but a solid one that does the things we need from a 4th liner.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I'm happy with this, he's gonna be a really good 4th liner and he brings a lot of what we are going to miss with Cogs gone

Still need a 4C, but the depth is slowly getting cobbled togehter and this is a solid pickup

 

[RoyIsALegend]

There’s like 3 or 4 videos on YouTube of this guy giving head shots and hits from behind, injuring guys like Scheifele and others.

Big W signing from me.
