Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators talking Nikita Zaitsev for Cody Ceci
Darren Dreger: The Toronto Maple Leafs owe Nikita Zaitsev a $3 million bonus on July 1st. The Ottawa Senators are on Zaitsev’s no-trade list.
Darren Dreger: (as of 5:47 tweet) Zaitsev hadn’t been asked to waive his no-trade clause. “Could be a formality, however his relationship with DJ Smith could help make this happen.”
Elliotte Friedman: The Maple Leafs and Senators are working a Zaitsev trade. It might take a couple of days.
