Bouchard - one more year at 3.9 million. Not available.
Faber - One more year at 925K. May be available but I suspect I would rather have Rasmus
Seider - RFA this offseason, likely costs more than Rasmus and doubt the Red Wings trade him
Durzi - RFA this offseason, likely cheaper than Rasmus, certainly available but not better than Rasmus in the next two years. probably save about a million getting him.
I personally have no other names on the list that fit the criteria of young and cost controlled that are available. So from that list at least the competition is Faber with the Wild and Durzi with the Coyotes.
Given Ottawa's salary limitations they do not have a lot of good trade options for right shot dmen who are available and could be trade for or signed as UFA's.

Faber would be rookie of the year if it wasn't for a guy named Bedard. He would be exactly what the Senators would want, but zero chance he'd be available. If Calgary could trade Rasmus for him, they'd be all over that.
