Forward Nick Paul has signed on the dotted line.
General manager Pierre Dorion struck another name off his list of restricted free agents to get under contract Tuesday when Paul agreed to a one-year, two-way deal. The contract with the Ottawa Senators is worth $750,000 in the NHL and $165,000 if he plays for the club’s AHL affiliate in Belleville.
Paul, who had 16 goals and 39 points in 43 games with Belleville last season, also suited up for 20 games with the Senators. He should get the chance to play some games in Ottawa if he performs well during training camp, but the 24-year-old has to show he can be a consistent player at this level.
The Senators still have to sign restricted free agents Colin White, Christian Wolanin and forward Michael Carcone, who was acquired from the Maple Leafs Monday.
