Senators stick with status quo to open free agency
The Senators re-signed defenceman Michael Kostka (pictured) and minor-league forwards Casey Bailey and Phil Varone on Friday to open free agency. (Jean Levac/Postmedia)As NHL free agency got under way Friday at noon, the Senators didn’t make a splash.
Instead, they pretty much stuck with the status quo.
The Senators brought back minor-league forwards Casey Bailey and Phil Varone along with defenceman Michael Kostka when the market first opened.
Varone and Bailey were acquired in a deal with the Buffalo Sabres last season and spent the year with the club’s AHL affiliate in Binghamton.
