While much of the attention stays focused on Taylor Hall, Nashville added a third veteran player to their depleted roster by signing unrestricted free agent Nick Cousins to a two-year, $1.5 million contract Friday evening.
Cousins became an unrestricted free agent this week after not being given a qualifying offer by the Vegas Golden Knights. Cousins started the season with the Montreal Canadiens before being traded in February to Vegas in exchange for a fourth-round pick in next year’s draft.
Last season, Cousins appeared in 58 games for Montreal, scoring nine goals and thirteen assists prior to the trade.
