On the opening day of free agency, the Ottawa Senators signed veteran center Lars Eller to a one-year deal, but they are expected to part ways with him as he becomes a pending unrestricted free agent. The 37-year-old played 68 games this season, recording five goals and ten assists, while logging the lowest average ice time of his career. With Stephen Halliday’s emergence as a viable fourth-line option, Eller’s role diminished further during the playoffs. After 1,184 career games, he may need to reduce his $2MM salary to continue his career next season.
