OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators have signed forward Michael Carcone to a two-year, two-way contract.

The first year has an average value of US$700,000 in the NHL and $85,000 in the American Hockey League, while the second year is $700,000 in the NHL and $115,000 in the AHL.

Carcone, 23, was acquired in a six-player trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs on July 1.

A native of Ajax, Ont., Carcone split last season between AHL teams in Utica and Toronto. In his third year as a pro, he set new pro career highs in goals (20), assists (24) and points (55) over 62 games.
