Erik Karlsson was not traded by the Ottawa Senators prior to the NHL Trade Deadline on Monday, and general manager Pierre Dorion said the plan is to keep the defenseman for his entire NHL career.

"I think Erik wants to be a Senator for life," Dorion said Monday after the 3 p.m. deadline passed. "I don't want to speak for him, I'll let him speak for himself. We'll see what the next few months bring, but if Erik Karlsson is here on July 1, we will be making him a contract offer."

"I'm told about a lot of stuff that is just pure tooling nonsense," Dorion said. "It's almost to the point of stupidity and I shouldn't even comment on it. Erik and I have a great relationship."

Szabadul fel elég hely a cap-ben. Aztán Gaborik sem véletlen játszik negyedik soros időket, Dorion ennek a szerződésnek is megtalálja a módját. Mac ha nem jön vissza, az sem fog beleszámítani. Ryan szerződését is át lehet majd tolni valahova, Miután Phaneuf is meg lett oldva,még jobban hiszek ebben.

Gyűjtöttünk pick-keket, megváltunk olyan játékosoktól akikkel nem számol a csapat. Dorion többet teljesített mint amit megvalósíthatónak tartottam.
