Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Erik Karlsson said he’s happy that he wasn’t traded and is open to the idea of signing a long-term extension with the Senators if he fits into their long-term plans.
“I love this city, I love this community, I love everything about it,” Karlsson said. “I’ve been here for a long time. I’ve made Ottawa my home and it’s always going to be my home. When that time comes, I hope there’s a place for me in the future and this team is going in the direction that I would like for us to have a chance in the near future.
