It\u2019s time for another set of NHL rumours from the mill. The Senators are a team in disarray and looking for a shakeup, hence, all the trade talk. It seems every other day we hear another name or rumour pop up. Here we try to provide some insight and figure out what it all means for the Ottawa Senators<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

All NHL rumours come from the original source and are subject to change.<\/p>\n

NHL: Rumours Ottawa Senators<\/h2>\n

Rumours: TSN List of Top Available Trade Targets Lists Both Vladimir Tarasenko<\/a> and Dominik Kubalik<\/a>. Also, Elliotte Friedman tries to cut through the noise and provide clarity on the direction of his intentions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Analysis: In terms of TSN\u2019s list<\/a>, both Tarasenko and Kubalik do make sense to trade. Tarasenko came to Ottawa on a one-year, $5 million deal. Therefore, his remaining cap hit for the season makes sense for a team to take on. Alternatively, Ottawa would like to get an asset for him before possibly losing him in the summer to free agency. Tarasenko is an interesting subject. He would provide a lot of the intangibles that Staios would indeed be searching for in a player. Tarasenko won a cup, can put the puck in the net consistently, and has performed well in a secondary scoring role thus far for the Sens. Sometimes it is better to look within, this might be a situation.Kubalik is also a viable trade option. Now, his performance is nothing like Tarasenko\u2019s but he does make half the money. However, Kubalik can score at the NHL level. He could very well hit 20 this year and hit 30 in his rookie campaign in 2019-20.<\/p>\n

Navigating the NHL Rumours Can be a Tricky Path<\/h3>\n
