Ottawa GM has talked with Tarasenko’s entourage

Ottawa Senators GM Pierre Dorion said today that he had contacted Vladimir Tarasenko’s camp as the player is still looking to join an NHL franchise during free agency.

Sens general manager refused to share more details about what they talked about. He shared, however, that Ottawa is keen to add more depth to their top-9 forward group.

A few days ago, it was reported that the Sens wanted to ink Tarasenko once the organization trades Alex DeBrincat. Alex left on Sunday as he joined Detroit Red Wings in a trade for Dominik Kubalik, prospect Donovan Sebrango, and a conditional 1st-round pick and 4^th pick in the next season.

With Alex DeBrincat no longer in the team, the Sens have over 5 million dollars in cap space.
