The Ottawa Senators bought out the remainder of forward Bobby Ryan's contract after he cleared waivers on Saturday. Ryan, who was placed on waivers Friday, won the Masterton Trophy — the NHL's award for perseverance — on Sept. 7 after publicly sharing his battle with alcohol issues. Ryan had five goals and eight points in 24 games for Ottawa this season. In 883 NHL regular-season games, Ryan has 254 goals and 555 points over 13 seasons split between the Anaheim Ducks and Ottawa. The Senators acquired Ryan, whom the Ducks drafted second overall in 2005, on July 5, 2013 for forwards Jakob Silfverberg and Stefan Noesen plus a 2014 first-round pick (forward Nick Ritchie).
