Last week, Pierre Dorion hinted that he wasn’t necessarily done with signing players but was in the “checkout lane”. It’s probably safe to say that this was the deal he was waiting for.
This morning, the Ottawa Senators announced that they’ve signed veteran Swedish defenceman Johnny Oduya to a 1-year, $1M deal with the possibility of an additional possibility of $1.25M added as performance bonuses.
The five $250K bonuses: top 5 in TOI for d-men, top 3 for TOI for d-men, play in 41 games, play in 65 games and qualify for the playoffs.
