Overview
- Philadelphia announced a one-for-one trade sending Dennis Gilbert to Ottawa for Maxence Guenette, then immediately agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with Guenette.
- Reported terms of Guenette’s deal are $775,000 at the NHL level and $225,000 in the AHL, and he is expected to slot in with Lehigh Valley.
- Ottawa reacquires a familiar, physical left-shot depth option after Donovan Sebrango was claimed on waivers by Florida and Thomas Chabot was sidelined short term.
- Gilbert signed a one-year, $875,000 contract with the Flyers in July and recorded one assist in six games for AHL Lehigh Valley this season.
- Guenette had remained an unsigned restricted free agent after requesting a trade, and Ottawa Citizen reports Gilbert is expected to join the Senators on their California trip.
