Reports out of Canada have suggested that the Arizona Coyotes and Ottawa Senators are discussing a possible trade involving Derek Stepan.
The reports come from TSN’s Shawn Simpson, host of the Ottawa-based sports radio station TSN 1200.
The potential for a trade between the Coyotes and Senators for Stepan is something that has been considered before, with the two sides seemingly well-suited to making a deal happen that can benefit both parties.
For the Senators, Stepan would be a strong leadership player that costs very little in terms of real dollars - accounting for just $2 million in actual salary while holding a cap hit of $6.
