Senators Re-Sign Chris Kelly to One-Year Deal

This morning, Brian Murray announced that the Senators have avoided their final arbitration by re-signing Chris Kelly to a one-year deal worth 1.2625 million.

Kelly had a career season in 06-07, his second full season with the Sens. He collected career highs in goals (15), assists (23), and points (38), while amassing only 40 penalty minutes, playing in all 82 games. In the playoffs, he greatly improved on his pointless 05-06 run by collecting 3 goals and 4 assists for 7 points in 20 games this postseason.

With this signing, all the Sens are now locked up, and only new signings or trades will alter the roster for the 07-08 season.
