Free-agent goaltender Matt O'Connor agrees to terms with Ottawa Senators

Highly-touted free-agent goaltender Matt O'Connor has come to terms with the Ottawa Senators.

O'Connor helped Boston University reach the NCAA national championship game and had offers from several NHL teams.

The deal with the Senators is for two years with the maximum bonuses allowed on an entry-level contract.

O'Connor, a Toronto native, was reportedly down to the Senators, Edmonton Oilers, Vancouver Canucks and New York Rangers.

Scouts had flocked to see O'Connor, projected No. 2 draft pick Jack Eichel and fellow free agent Evan Rodrigues (who signed with the Buffalo Sabres) at BU.
