Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com: After the departures of Artem Anisimov and Derek Stepan, the Ottawa Senators could use veteran depth at center.
Tarasenko remaining not optimal for Blues
Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com: The St. Louis Blues are still looking for a trade partner for forward Vladimir Tarasenko. Tarasenko’s agent made a trade request back on May 25th but Blues GM Doug Armstrong hasn’t found a deal to his liking.
It’s possible that Tarasenko could play for the Blues this season though that wouldn’t be optimal.
