“The 31-year-old played in Nashville & Ottawa. Had 9 G, 2 A, 165 hits, 61 blocks in 75 G w/ Sens last season. Will compete for a bottom-six spot. Could add physicality, be a PK option.”

Dean Brown: The Ottawa Senators had offered Watson a one-year contract but he had been looking to sign for three years somewhere.

“Good guy, good penalty killer, willing shot blocker and stands up for teammates. Hoping he gets a deal in TB.”
