According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, the Ottawa Senators have signed forward Nick Cousins to a one-year, $800,000 contract.Hearing #Sens have agreed to terms with Nick Cousins: 1 year x $800k.— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) August 29, 2024 Cousins, 31, was one of the more notable free agents still available on the free-agent market, but now the gritty winger has found his new home with the Senators. He will now look to be a solid part of their bottom six as they look to take that next step and finally break this playoff drought. Cousins spent this past season with the Florida Panthers, where he posted seven goals, 15 points, 130 hits, and a plus-1 rating. He also appeared in 12 games for the Panthers during their Stanley Cup run, where he had an assist and a minus-1 rating.When noting that the Senators are adding Cousins for such a low cap hit, this move comes with no actual risk for the Atlantic Division club. He will now provide them with a veteran forward who has plenty experience and who plays a heavy game.We will now need to wait and see how much of an impact Cousins can make for the Senators from here. photo credit: © Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports...
