Meh, shores up the 4th line centre spot until one of the younger guys proves they're a regular. I'm okay with it.
Depth is always good.
We've seen it this year with all of the injuries we had, and it's been like that for the past couple seasons too.
Good signing.

good depth signing.
4th line center who's going to have a good role on the PK. Good leader too. Didn't he had an A in Boston when injured occured?
I think, it means that Lazar is going to play the 3 RW spot. Probably Dzingle-Puemple or Paul playing 4 LW spot with Neil being the 4 RW. If those 3 players can play the right side, maybe Neil would be 13th forward which i doubt he would be, on opening night.

I think they see paul as a LW, rather than C in the future. Doesn't mean he can't be a C next year, if they fell like it.

Not going to complain about this, can take up some PK minutes and play on the fourth line, as much as I love Paul another year of development wont hurt him.
Will love seeing Kelly in a Sens Jersey again. Should be decent as the 4th line center.
If this signing results in Paul spending more time in Binghamton instead of being rushed to the league, it's a huge win no matter how Kelly plays for us.

There's a blast from the past. No problems with this. Good depth defensive forward we can plug in when needed.

Well, it's hard not to smile having Kelly return.
Hope he can still do the things Dorion listed. It would make the team a bit better.

I think it may mean Lazar will be playing RW next year as well! (unless PD signs someone else)

Last time Kelly was in Ottawa, I didn't appreciate his play style. Since then, I really learned to love what a player like Condra brought to the table. Excited to be able to cheer for Kelly more sincerely now that I'm able to better understand his role on the team.
Yeah i think his offensive game...or what little he used to have may never be there .But he is a smart player that can play a very high level defensive game
OMG. Who called this before ???
Could be good for our PK and a good vet!
I think a lot of people did, he's a versatile cheap vet centre, who is a leader, and still lives and trains in Ottawa in the offseason. Bryan Murray even stated awhile back that trading him in 2011 was one of the toughest decisions he's ever had to make as a GM.

I aprove.
Fun fact: we traded Kelly for a 2nd round pick which became Shane Prince. Then traded Prince with a 7th for a 3rd this year. That third was used to secure Logan Brown.
