NHL Deadline Drama: Will Drake Batherson’s Fate Spark a Shocking Trade Twist for the Senators?
In the previous piece, NHLRumors.com looked at two big-name restricted free agents: Cutter Gauthier and Adam Fantilli. Gauthier is making progress, but Fantilli is not. But it is not just about restricted free agents; it’s also about players entering the final year of their deals who have been eligible to sign an extension as of July 1st. Enter Drake Batherson of the Ottawa Senators.
The new CBA rules apply not only to Gauthier and Fantilli, but especially to Batherson, who, according to reports from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, is seeking an eight-year extension. Both sides want to get it done and get it working. Batherson told the media he wants this done before camp.
