Senators trade Josh Brown to Bruins for Senyshyn

The Ottawa Senators dealt defenseman Josh Brown and a 2022 conditional seventh-round pick to the Boston Bruins in exchange for forward Zach Senyshyn and a fifth-round selection in this year's draft, the Senators announced Monday.

Brown played on Ottawa's third pairing. He collected six points - all assists - while averaging 13:59 of ice time over 46 contests this season. He was in his second campaign with the Senators after playing his first two with the Florida Panthers.

The 28-year-old is a pending unrestricted free agent whose contract carries a $1.2-million cap hit, according to CapFriendly.

Senyshyn has some NHL experience but didn't suit up for Boston this season. The winger, who'll turn 25 on March 30, produced 19 goals and 12 assists over 51 games with the club's AHL affiliate in Providence in 2021-22.

He appeared in 14 games with the NHL squad over the previous three seasons, notching one goal and two assists. The Bruins selected him 15th overall in the 2015 draft immediately after selecting Jakub Zboril and Jake DeBrusk with the two prior picks while future stars Mathew Barzal and Kyle Connor were still on the board.

Senyshyn is a pending UFA with a $750,000 cap hit.
