It was just announced that Nick Cousins signed a one-year deal heading into the 2024-25 season with the Ottawa Senators worth $800k.
There were rumours the Boston Bruins might be interested in Nick Cousins, as he plays a very similar game to Brad Marchand, and fits what the style of play of the Boston Bruins, but the Bruins main focus right now is locking up goaltender Jeremy Swayman.
Giving the recent reports of what Jeremy Swayman is asking for, the Boston Bruins might not even have the cap space to sign him. It has been reported that Swayman is asking for $10 million on his next deal, and the Bruins have just under $8 million in cap space.
Nick Cousins is known for being a pesky and dirty player on the ice, it may be a good thing the Boston Bruins decided to pass on him.
The Ottawa Senators added a solid depth guy to their squad, who brings some winning experience to the team, and also a decent amount of playoff experience, something they have been looking for.
