Dylan Gambrell has signed a new contract with the Ottawa Senators.

To be honest, I didn't see the Sens bringing him back but still not bad @ 950k. No complaints.

Dylan Gambrell's qualifying offer was 1.1 million.

He decided to sign at 950K instead with the team that might have given him that qualifying offer.


That means it's a good signing.

Solid signing. If he doesn't workout come training camp and make the team this contract can be simply placed through waivers and be on the farm for a call up down the road.

Oh yeah I like it! Got to start somewhere in Ottawa.

Basically exactly what I expected. Fine contract I guess.

Get wanting a guy to push a young C like Mark Kastelic to earn his 4C role, but there's really no reason for it to be him. He brings nothing to the table. It's not a big deal but Adam Gaudette is wildly better for that role.

Good signing for the 4th line. no risk.
Guadette is not a better fit, he isnt great in faceoffs, and not great defensively- not to mention his questionable work ethic and attitude.

I mean the Kelly, Gambrell, Watson line was very very good down the stretch with D.J. Smith even calling them their best line at some point. I think it's a fine option for a centerman that you can plutone with Kastelic and Gaudette to form a pretty formidable bottom 4 center.

Well 1 name on my suspected guys who wasn't gonna get qualified was wrong lul

No

Neither should be regulars in the lineup, but Gaudette at least has some amount of skill if he has to plug in for injury reasons. Gambell is a nothing player

The meh-est of meh players, but for less than his 1.1M QO, this is good deal of business for the Sens.

Gambrell is a fringe serviceable fourth liner that can play many roles well, at an NHL level, consistently. Gaudette is inconsistent, has sparks of brilliance, and isn't that good defensively.
