As expected, the Ottawa Senators have announced the signing of forward Stephane Da Costa.
After starting last season with the NHL club, Da Costa spent the majority of last season with the Sens' AHL Affiliate in Binghamton. In 46 AHL games he racked up 13 goals, 23 assists and 36 points.
The deal with Da Costa is a one year, two way contract. It will pay him $800,000 at the NHL level and $80,000 in the AHL. With the forward ranks as crowded as they are heading into next season, Da Costa will need to have a massive camp to stick around with the big club.
After today's signing, the Sens have now taken care of all of their restricted free agents.
