There's apparently a market for Chris Neil's services.
The longtime Ottawa Senators pugilist has "good options and offers" to play next season and still intends to do so, reports TSN's Darren Dreger.
Neil and the Senators parted ways a couple of weeks ago.
The 38-year-old pending unrestricted free agent wasn't much of a factor this season, posting four points and racking up 63 penalty minutes in 53 regular-season games.
He appeared in only two playoff contests, playing less than five minutes combined.
Nearly three weeks before his Ottawa tenure unofficially came to an end, Neil said he wanted to play in 2017-2018.
He spent the first 15 seasons of his NHL career with the Senators, who made him a sixth-round pick in 1998.
