Connor Hellebuyck could be a slot in Florida, but they don\u2019t wish to move Anton Lundell<\/strong><\/h2>\n

NHL Watcher<\/a><\/strong>: Darren Dreger on TSN OverDrive on the Florida Panthers being a possible fit for Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck<\/a>: \u201cOn the very least (Anton) Lundell would have to come back back in that deal, that will satisfy Winnipeg\u2019s need at centre ice. Florida doesn\u2019t wish to trade Lundell, they’ve little interest in doing that\u201d<\/p>\n

Are the Senators and Canadiens among the many teams eyeing Rasmus Ristolainen?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

NHL Rumour Report<\/a><\/strong>: Elliotte Friedman on the FAN Hockey Show on Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve heard that teams have talked to Philly about him; I believe Philly\u2019s got a bunch of various balls within the air; Ottawa had a number of interest in Ristolainen; one other team I\u2019ve wondered about for him is Montreal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some potential targets for the Ottawa Senators, and two players who might be available<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen<\/a><\/strong>: The Ottawa Senators\u2019 top three priorities this offseason are a top-six forward to play with Tim Stutzle<\/a>, a top-four right-handed defenseman to play with Thomas Chabot<\/a>, and a backup goalie that may play 35 games.<\/p>\n

The Senators are willing to trade defenseman Jordan Spence<\/a>, and forward Fabian Zetterlund<\/a> might be available. He has three years left on his deal at $4.275 million. The Senators\u2019 prospect pool isn\u2019t strong. Teams call about Carter Yakemchuk<\/a>, but he\u2019ll likely start the 12 months with the Sens. They re-signed Stephen Halliday<\/a>, who might be their fourth-line center.<\/p>\n

Potential trade targets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mason McTavish<\/a> \u2013 C \u2013 Anaheim Geese \u2013 Might be a pleasant fit.<\/p>\n

Jake DeBrusk<\/a> \u2013 LW \u2013 Vancouver Canucks \u2013 Has five years at $5.5 million per season. Good on the facility play and hustles.<\/p>\n

Jordan Kyrou<\/a> \u2013 W \u2013 St. Louis Blues \u2013 Don\u2019t think he\u2019ll waive his no-movement clause for Ottawa. The Kraken, Mammoth and Islanders are believed to have an interest.<\/p>\n

On the blue line, the Sens could revisit Rasmus Ristolainen talks. Sources say they could have interest in pending UFA Connor Murphy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Sens may not qualify Leevi Merilainen<\/a>.<\/p>\n
