Kelly was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent when his one-year contract expired on July 1.

The 27-year-old has 36 goals and 62 assists in 243 regular-season games with the Senators.

He was set to becoming a free agent this summer, having only signed a one-year extension at the end of the 2006-2007 season.

Kelly joined the Senators from their AHL development side Binghamton in 2004 but did not play until 2005 due to the NHL lockout.
