It was rumored earlier this offseason that when Cousins was suspected to not be re-signing with the Florida Panthers, that the Boston Bruins would be interested in adding his toughness and "ratty" style of play to bolster their bottom-6 forward group, but it was confirmed today that he will be heading to Canada.
Is 72 games last season with the Florida Panthers, Cousins scored 7 goals and 8 assists for 15 points and accumulated 64 penalty minutes. He was in and out of the lineup during the Stanley Cup Playoffs but spent most of the time as a healthy scratch.
