NHL.com: Ottawa Senators coach D.J. Smith said he’s met with GM Pierre Dorion and their operations staff to discuss potential trades and free agents.
“We have a great opportunity go through what all the best teams in the playoffs are doing systemwise and looking at some things that we may want to change,” Smith said. “And then, ultimately I’m there if Pierre has any questions on possible free agents or whatever the case may be. It’s good to be back. Naturally, when you get to September, anybody who’s been in hockey knows you should be at the rink.
