The Senators locked up another piece of their rebuilding puzzle today, inking Erik Condra to a 2 year deal worth $1.25 million, or a 625k cap hit. At the moment it's unclear if it's a one way or two way deal, but I am hearing it's a one way, which means he must have really impressed the Sens brass during the last third of the season + the AHL playoffs to get the deal. (update @4:55pm: it's a 1 way deal)
Given the reasonable dollar amount, another shrewd signing by BM the GM this offseason, as he continues to keep the assets for the rebuild. Interesting though that the Sens saw a big future in Condra, yet elected to let playoff hero Ryan Potulny and more importantly, Ryan Keller leave.
He now will turn his attention to trying to sign goal scorer Bobby Butler, as well as a few other RFA's from Binghamton.
We know at least one guy likes the signing, although I would have to imagine with each guy being signed, the likelyhood of Shannon himself coming back get slimmer and slimmer.
Thoughts?
