Ottawa has signed Christian Kyrou to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Philadelphia Flyers opted not to give Kyrou a qualifying offer, sending him to free agency as a UFA. The 22-year-old defenseman has yet to play an NHL game. He scored 34 points (10G / 24A) last season in 55 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL).
Ottawa has signed Phillip Tomasino to a one-year, two-way contract.
Tomasino was drafted 24th overall by the Nashville Predators in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, but has fallen out of favour in recent seasons. The 24-year-old forward has 95 points (34G / 61A) in 218 career NHL games, but spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL, scoring 41 points (12G / 29A) in 52 games.
Ottawa has signed Ryan Suzuki to a one-year, two-way contract.
Suzuki was drafted 28th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, but was unable to translate his pedigree to a prolonged look at the NHL level, ultimately resulting in the team moving on. The 25-year-old forward scored 48 points (13G / 35A) in 66 games with the Chicago Wolves (AHL) last season.
Ottawa has signed Philippe Daoust to a one-year, two-way contract.
Daoust was a sixth-round pick of the Ottawa Senators in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and has yet to play an NHL game. The 24-year-old forward had an excellent 2025-26 season in the AHL, scoring 50 points (14G / 36A) in 63 games with the Belleville Senators (AHL).
Ottawa has signed Sammy Blais to a two-year, two-way contract.
Blais has seen some success at the NHL level, offering a unique blend of hitting, physicality, and offensive ability. That said, the 30-year-old forward has spent most of the past two seasons in the AHL, including scoring 38 points (14G / 24A) last season in 35 games with the Laval Rocket (AHL).
Ottawa has signed Samuel Ersson to a two-year, $2.2 million AAV contract ($4.4m total).
After being thrust into a starting role with the Philadelphia Flyers the past two seasons, Ersson was overtaken by Dan Vladar in the 2025-26 season, making Ersson expendable for the Flyers. The 26-year-old Ersson posted a 3.12 GAA and .870 SV% last season in 33 games (14-11-5) with the Flyers and hopes to provide complementary goaltending for Ottawa behind Linus Ullmark.
Ottawa has signed Nick Cousins to a two-year contract extension worth $1.5875 million AAV ($3.175M total).
Nick Cousins will return for a third season in Ottawa after finishing 2025-26 with his highest goal and point totals since 2022-23 and has earned himself a two-year contract extension worth $1.5875 million AAV ($3.175M total). The 32-year-old pesky forward is entering his 14th NHL and will be expected to create a spark in Ottawa's bottom-six again this season after putting up nine goals, 23 points and 92 PIMs in 81 appearances last season.

Ottawa has acquired Andre Burakovsky from Chicago for a 2027 6th round pick.
After scoring a career-high 61 points (22G / 39A) in the 2021-22 season with the Colorado Avalanche, Burakovsky has struggled to recapture that offensive touch, bouncing around and ultimately joining the Ottawa Senators, his fourth team in the past six seasons. The 31-year-old forward averaged 16:25 time-on-ice and scored just 33 points (11G / 22A) last season while recording a career-worst -32 plus/minus in 75 games with the Chicago Blackhawks.

The 26-year-old had informed Toronto he did not intend to sign with the Maple Leafs on Friday. He struggled in 2025-26, with an ugly .870 SV%, 3.12 GAA and 14-11-5 record.

Samuel Bolduc will remain in Ottawa's organization for at least one more season after it was announced on Friday the 25-year-old defensemen had signed a one-year, two-way contract extension. Bolduc was acquired at last year's trade deadline and excelled after arriving in Belleville (AHL), with one goal and 10 points in 12 games played.
