Remember a few weeks ago when we wrote a round table entitled The Erik Karlsson to Tampa Bay Lightning speculation keeps spinning out of control? We’re back, and now with more fuel to add to the fire. TSN writer Travis Yost, who has contacts in the Senators’ organization, tweeted that Steve Yzerman and Ottawa Senators’ GM Pierre Dorion are in deep talks about moving Karlsson, and as an additional piece in the trade, Bobby Ryan.
Some pieces are already moving in Ottawa — even as we wrote this piece, the Senators traded Derrick Brassard to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
