Senators Sign Free Agent Forward Isbister

The Ottawa Senators announced today that they have signed free agent left wing Brad Isbister to a one year, two-way contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Isbister played in 55 games last season with the Vancouver Canucks, scoring six goals and adding 5 assists for 11 points, while accumulating 38 penalty minutes. In 541 games, Isbister has 106 goals and 116 assists for 222 points and 615 penalty minutes over 10 NHL seasons with the Phoenix Coyotes, New York Islanders, Edmonton Oilers, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, and Vancouver Canucks. While Isbister doesn't exactly fill the Senators' need for a scoring winger, he provides depth and toughness to the team and will likely play on the 3rd or 4th line.
