With the club contending for a playoff spot, there was a different outlook: adding pieces instead of subtracting them.
The Senators head into Saturday’s matchup with the Columbus Blue Jackets at Canadian Tire Centre only four points behind the New York Islanders for the final wildcard spot in the East, and Ottawa has three games in hand.
no interest in moving out defencemen Travis Hamonic and Nick Holden, and there weren’t many clubs that studied veteran goalie Cam Talbot as an option. If Dorion dealt Talbot, the Senators would have had to go out and get another veteran goalie because the Senators are already without Anton Forsberg for rest of the season because of knee injuries. The best-case scenario is for Talbot, who can become an unrestricted free agent this summer, to finish out the season with Ottawa and then both sides can decide what comes next.“If Talbot isn’t here, you’ve got to think about how the tandem is going to operate.
“He’s someone, from all our background checks, he’ll fit in well in our dressing room. He’s a high-character individual and he’s got some playoff experience from a few years ago with Vegas. Our goal is to play meaningful games and get there. He’s only going to help us.”
