The Toronto Maple Leafs archrival the Ottawa Senators have signed unrestricted free agent Nick Cousins to a one-year contract worth $800,000.

Over the past couple of seasons, Cousins has spent his time in South Florida where he had won the Stanley Cup this year with the Florida Panthers. Senators general manager and president of hockey operations Steve Staios explains why he chose to bring him into the organization.
«Nick has gained a lot of valuable experience playing almost 600 games in the NHL and having played in the Stanley Cup Finals in two straight seasons» said Senators president of hockey operations and general manager Steve Staios. «He brings grit and tenacity to his game that adds to the competitive nature of our group.»

Cousins was drafted in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, third round, 68 overall. Last season he had played 69 games, scoring seven goals with eight assists and 15 points while having 64 penalty minutes.
Maple Leaf fans will always know the dislike of Cousins as he ended the Leafs 2nd round playoff series when they play it against the Florida Panthers two seasons ago as he had scored in game five in overtime to win the game 3-2.
Some NHL fans dislike his kind of play as he has had repeated incidents which were questionable and could have led to a suspension. But the Senators clearly feel they need grit and sandpaper on their front lines and adding a guy like cousins will certainly solve that problem.
