Seven weeks before the NHL's trade deadline, Jared Cowen says he's not asking the Senators to move him.
Nor is he thinking a deal is imminent.
"Even if I was, I don't know if I'd be telling you guys," the big defenceman told three beat reporters in the team's dressing room after Friday's practice. "No offence. I don't want the Drouin situation."
The reference, of course, was to Tampa Bay Lightning winger Jonathan Drouin, who has requested a trade so he can get the ice time he feels he deserves and needs to fulfil his potential as a former first round draft pick.
