It’s silly season right now in the NHL. We’re about 72 hours from the trade deadline. Rumors are swirling. Fans are hoping their team will acquire the players, prospects and draft picks on their wish list.
This season we’re seeing a lot of high profile names being tossed into the trade market. The biggest name on the market is Ottawa Senators defenseman is Erik Karlsson. Bob McKenzie of TSN stated today that the Senators are engaged in talks to move the star defender.
My sense is that OTT trade talks with more than one team are progressing from conceptual/theoretical to actually talking about some of the specific pieces that could be included were a deal to be done.
