Dennis Seidenberg found a new home Wednesday, as the 35-year-old defenseman reportedly agreed to a one-year, $1 million contract with the New York Islanders.

The Boston Bruins bought out Seidenberg’s contract after the 2015-16 season, making him an unrestricted free agent. His quality performance for Team Europe at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey in Toronto seemed to generate some interest in his services.
7 teams were in on Seidenberg, including Ottawa. All wanted to wait, but Isles step up. 1 yr, $1 million. Good deal.

Seidenberg will re-unite with former blue line partner Johnny Boychuk in New York. They spent a little more than four seasons together in Boston, from 2010 through 2014.
