Filip Kuba will not be on the move after all as the Ottawa Senators have signed the veteran defenceman to a three-year contract extension worth $3.7 million per season.
Kuba's new contract contains a no trade clause in the first year.
The 32-year-old Czech blueliner was set to become an unrestricted free-agent this summer and had reportedly waived the no trade clause in his contract earlier in the week in anticipation that an extension could not be negotiated.
Kuba is a power play specialist who was acquired by the Senators in the off-season, along with Alexandre Picard and a first round draft pick from the Tampa Bay Lightning for Andrej Meszaros.
He has two goals and 27 assists in 54 games for Ottawa this season.
