The Senators are in a bit of trouble lately as Dylan Demelo got injured recently, and leaves behind a hole on defence.
Already before the season there was worry about the sens defence, especially with the long-term injury of Christian Wolanin. Now with Dylan Demelo out long-term too there is a need for a new face on defence.
The temporary solution for the problem is the recall of Maxime Lajoie from the AHL affiliate, Belleville Senators.
But the better solution would seem to be to trade for a veteran defenceman. Then maybe flip him at the deadline once Wolanin and Demelo return from their respective injuries.
