The Ottawa Senators have crossed another restricted free agent off their To Do list this morning, reaching a one year/one way agreement with forward Kaspars Daugavins.
The Latvian born winger appeared in 65 games with the Sens last year, picking up 11 points and 12 penalty minutes. With the signing, Daugavins avoids an arbitration hearing that was scheduled for tomorrow.
He'll earn $635,000 next season.
With Daugavins under contract, Stephane Da Costa is the lone remaining RFA without a contract. According to folks I talked to late last week, a deal with Da Costa should be done in the near future.
