Senators working hard to land Ohlund?

ICONSMI

Bruce Garrioch of Sun Media is reporting that the Ottawa Senators are stepping up their pursuit to land the Canucks Mattias Ohlund.

It is speculated that the contract talks have been going nowhere with Ohlund who is in the final year of his contract and that the Ottawa Senators are one of many teams who are very interested in trying to land the talented defenseman. It is noted in the article that the Senators would like to unload Antoine Vermette however HTR believes that it would take way more then Vermette to land Ohlund. Of note in any situation is that Ohlund presently has a no trade clause that he would have to waive prior to any move.

Also of note is that it is reported that Scouts from both Columbus and the Kings were at a recent Canucks game.
