via Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun,
The Senators have answered their desire for a veteran defenceman with a blast from the past.
The team has come to terms with Joe Corvo, an unrestricted free agent who played for Ottawa from 2006-2008. Corvo, who scored six goals and 11 assists in 40 games with the Carolina Hurricanes last season, was signed to a one-year deal.
He is being pencilled in as a No. 6 or No. 7 defenceman with the Senators.
The 36-year old Corvo has defensive shortcomings. He was nicknamed "Uh Oh Corvo" last time he was in Ottawa. But he also is a good skater with a hard shot.

Yes but there’s no limit what a jilted OTT will do now to try to stick it to Alfredsson.

I really don’t think one move has to do with the other. They needed some depth on D having lost Gonchar and Andre Benoit.

They may have needed defensive depth, but Corvo is not an answer; he is a problem. Caroline improved their defensive corps by letting him walk again.

Yeah that was Primis’s attempt at humor. Everybody else is quaking thinking about Detroit.

There was no attempt at humor exactly, and it wasn’t a shot at OTT even.
It was a blatant shot at the media and their stupid obsession with creating storylines.

Carolina and Ottawa need an intervention with this guy. His shot’s hard, but he can’t get it within 40 feet of the net and he doesn’t do anything else well (if an incredibly hard shot that would miss a barn more often than not event constitutes doing something well).

When the Wings aren’t playing, I catch a few broadcasts on Fox Sports West for L.A. Kings games because of Jim Fox and Bob Miller. I barely even noticed Joe Corvo when he was with the Kings.

Interesting move.
He didn’t leave on the best terms during his original run, IIRC he asked for (and received) a trade out of town, on a playoff team no less, and Bryan Murray wasn’t glowing in his appraisal of the player on the way out.
Lots of holes in his D game back then, but he was absolutely the local media’s whipping boy. He was the victim of a sorta bad contract, 4 years, $10 million. Having played only in L.A. up to that point, very few people in Ottawa knew much about him, and he was billed by the organization as a bit more than what he in fact was.
