Wilson missed most of last season due to injury but in 33 games the 29-year-old had 13 goals and 22 points.
The former 16th overall pick has made decent progress in the NHL as one of the toughest players to play against, with his big frame Wilson would be a good addition to a young Senators squad.
Wilson has 1 year left at $5.166 million in salary, with this deal he also has a modified-trade clause apart of the deal.
