The Ottawa Senators have re-signed the 32-year-old defenceman on Wednesday. Terms weren't disclosed by the team, but ESPN is reporting that it's a three-year, $14.3 million deal.
In 54 games with the Sens this season, Kuba is a team-leading plus-8 and has 29 points, tops for all defencemen on the squad.
Kuba was picked up by Ottawa in the summer of 2008 in a trade that sent defenceman Andrej Meszaros to Tampa Bay for Kuba, Alexandre Picard and a first-round pick in the 2009 NHL Draft — a pick Murray just packaged off to the New York Islanders in the Mike Comrie deal last week.
He was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, and is earning $3 million this season.
