Found July 10, 2013 on The 6th Sens:
PLAYERS: Mark Borowiecki,  Patrick Wiercioch,  Chris Phillips,  Eric Gryba,  Joe Corvo
TEAMS: Ottawa Senators
  The Ottawa Senators announced that they have signed 24-year old defenceman Mark Borowiecki to a two-year, one-way contract.   Despite the praise and adulation that the organization has bestowed upon Borowiecki since the moment he turned pro, news that he received a one-way deal could be surprising in the sense that he has only played eight games in the NHL.   For the unawares, a one-way contract means that regardless of whether or not Borowiecki makes the NHL or not, he’ll receive his negotiated NHL salary.   The decision to give Borowiecki this one-way deal was a tradeoff financially – he ensures he’ll receive a NHL salary, but will only receive $550,000 in the first year of his deal and $600,000 in the final year. Had he agreed to a two-way deal, maybe he would have been able to haggle for a salary that is close to the league minimum.   Either way, barring a trade, Borowiecki’s signing means that the Senators have seven defencemen under NHL co...

Via The 6th Sens  |  July 09, 2013
#Sens Jared Cowen is an RFA. His contract did not slide in 2010-11 by mutual agreement of NHL & NHLPA. No explanation as to why at present. — CapGeek (@capgeek) July 6, 2013 The other bit of unexpected news over the weekend (though much less consequential) was the matter of Jared Cowen needing a new contract. Cowen was slated to be entering the final year of his...

Travis Yost: The Reasons

Via HockeyBuzz  |  July 10, 2013
Flying cross country and giving my iPad a shot at a post. Bare with me. This thing isn't conducive to writing at all. 1) Mark Borowiecki signed a new contract yesterday. The only interesting detail to come from that is the second-year of his deal is a one-way. That's not particularly comforting if you are, say, Joe Corvo. Or Eric Gryba. Or Chris Phillips. I think the team...
