It was announced earlier today the former Boston Bruins forward and unrestricted free agent Chris Kelly has decided to return to Ottawa. The 35-year old forward signed a one-year deal with the Ottawa Senators worth $900.000. Kelly had played seven seasons with the Senators until he was grabbed by the Bruins at the trade deadline back in February, 2011.
Chris Kelly ended up being part of the 2011 Stanley Cup Championship team.
Kelly always seemed to be underappreciated in Boston. When he first joined the Black in Gold, Bruins fans were less than enthused about giving up a second round draft pick for a player who was slated to be a third-line center.
