The 2023 NHL trade deadline is less than two months away: March 3rd. Although the Ottawa Senators probably won’t be making the playoffs, they could still be active on the trade front for certain players. One report came last night from Darren Dreger that the Senators have interest in Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba:
"The #Oilers are exploring the D market, but Ken Holland is willing to be patient." - Pierre LeBrun
"The Edmonton Oilers and the Ottawa Senators have interest in Matt Dumba, but Minnesota still needs him, price would be high" - Darren Dreger— Brennan Klak (@nhlupdate) January 10, 2023Now, who knows if this is actually true, there’s a chance that Pierre Dorion asked about Dumba but then decided to move on.
