The last-place
Ottawa Senators are shaping up as sellers ahead of the March 8 trade deadline as team president and general manager Steve Staios looks to put his stamp on the club.
Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia(opens in a new tab) reports "the expectation" is the Senators will ask pending unrestricted free agent
Vladimir Tarasenko to waive his no-trade clause, and notes the team has also " tried unsuccessfully to move winger
Dominik Kubalik."
Tarasenko was listed at No. 6
on the latest TSN Trade Bait board,(opens in a new tab) while Kubalik was the only other Senator on the list, checking in at No. 16.
According to Garrioch, Staios has been listening to interest on defenceman
Jakob Chychrun, who was the team's prize acquisition at the trade deadline last year.
