Beaudin will hit free agency after the Senators opted against giving him a qualifying offer, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Beaudin failed to break into the NHL this past season, instead spending his entire campaign playing in the minors for AHL Belleville. There, the 24-year-old center garnered six goals and 10 helpers in 34 appearances. Selected by the Avs in the third round of the 2015 NHL Draft, Beaudin may be hard-pressed to earn his way back onto an NHL roster.

Rotowire
Beaudin was assigned to AHL Belleville on Thursday.

Senators' Jean-Christophe Beaudin: Signs extension with Senators
Rotowire
Beaudin and the Senators agreed to a one-year, two-way extension on Sunday according to CapFriendly.
Beaudin split time between the NHL and AHL levels last season, recording just one assist in 22 games at the top level. The two-way deal will give the team some flexibility with the 23-year-old, but he should have a chance to compete for a bottom-six role in training camp.

Rotowire
The Senators recalled Beaudin from AHL Belleville on Saturday, Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports.
The 2015 third-round pick was sent down to gain more opportunities, and he posted three points through eight AHL contests. The Senators sent down Logan Brown in a corresponding move, so Beaudin will simply serve as depth to the team's bottom six.

Senators' Jean-Christophe Beaudin: Dealt to Ottawa
Rotowire
The Avalanche traded Beaudin to the Senators on Wednesday in exchange for Max McCormick.
Beaudin is in the second year of a three-year, entry-level contract. Now 21 years old, the Canadian prospect has experience playing in the QMJHL, ECHL and AHL, among other ranks outside of the NHL. He was a part of the championship team for the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies -- a major-junior club -- in 2016, and Beaudin also won the Kelly Cup with the Eagles last season. Selected in the third round of the 2015 draft, Beaudin was a higher draft pick than McCormick (sixth-rounder from 2011), though McCormick is the more experienced of the two forwards.
Beaudin signed a three-year, two-way, entry-level contract with Colorado on Monday worth $683,000 per year, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
The 19-year-old has been lighting it up this year in the QMJHL, rattling off 74 points and a plus-30 rating in 59 games with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies after an 82-point campaign last season. He was selected in the third round (71st overall) in 2015, but given his performance over the last couple of years in the Q -- as well as the struggles of the Avs as a whole in 2016-17 -- he could be making his way to the big club sooner than originally anticipated.
