unlikely Sens move Karlsson before trade deadline.
Dorion is listening to offers
Karlsson isn't pushing for trade.
Senators are somewhat opening to trading Karlsson before deadline
hearing Sens are asking for 5, 6, or 7 pieces and perhaps teams are being asked to take on Bobby Ryan's contract (4 yrs remaining $7 million+ per) as well
sounds like the Sens don't really want to move him, but if they get a King's ransom they will
note: Dreger suggested in another segment that it may need to involve a 3 way trade where a 3rd team took on Ryan's contract
5 or 6 teams have started putting packages together for Rick Nash - Dallas, Columbus, Nashville, Winnipeg, and Boston among the teams.
Winnipeg is not on Nash's trade list, but he might be open to going there
double the teams that are interested in Grabner than Nash because of lower cap hit and acquisition price
Grabner's price is 2nd rounder plus something right now
things have picked on Evander Kane, Sabres have received some offers that Botterill might consider
it now sounds the return for Kane will be more player based than pick/prospect based but Sabres would prefer picks and prospects
Prices are so high for rentals, some teams looking at players with term who might have cheaper acquisition costs than the rentals
Preds might be looking at Tatar instead of a rental - there have been talks about Tatar between Preds and Wings
Pens balking at the 1st round pick believed to be part of the asking price for Brassard but still interested.
If Pens can move out a contract, would be interested in Plekanec, but depends on what Montreal wants to do with him
