Senators re-sign Hamonic to 2-year extension

Travis Hamonic is sticking around in Ottawa.

The Senators re-signed the unrestricted free-agent defenseman to a two-year extension, the team announced Tuesday.

His new deal carries an average annual value of $1.1 million and includes a no-move clause, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Hamonic chipped in with six goals and 15 assists in 75 contests with the Senators this past season, his first full campaign in Canada's capital. He was free to hit the open market this summer after playing out the final campaign of a two-year, $6-million pact.

Ottawa acquired his services from the Vancouver Canucks prior to the 2022 trade deadline in exchange for a third-round pick.

The 33-year-old spent the bulk of his time on a pairing with rookie Jake Sanderson in 2022-23.

The Senators now have $9.17 million in cap space after signing Hamonic with two restricted free agents - Alex DeBrincat and Shane Pinto - left on their books.
