Brown played for Senators coach D.J. Smith on the Oshawa Generals’ Memorial Cup-winning team in 2014-15.

“Josh Brown is a big, strong defenseman who plays a physical style of game,” Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said in a statement.
“He’s a defensive defenseman who skates very well and who is exceptionally competitive. He’s also a very good shot blocker who clears a lot of space in front of the net. We’re looking forward to seeing him in our lineup.”
