The Ottawa Senators are currently $1.1 million under the salary cap and have started offering professional tryouts to fill identified weak spots in their roster.
Among the notable players brought in is Nikolai Kulemin, a former 30-goal scorer who hasn't played in the NHL since 2018 but has considerable experience in the KHL.
Calen Addison also joins the camp, presenting a potential challenge for key defensive positions. His recent performance with the San Jose Sharks raises questions about his on-ice value, but he has the pedigree to bounce back.
