NHL Rumors: Shocking Trade Buzz Surrounds San Jose Sharks and Ottawa Senators – What’s Brewing Behind the Scenes?
The Senators and Batherson’s camp have held some talks, and sources say they believe that the sides “aren’t close.” Batherson wants to stay, and they want to keep him, but it won’t be easy to get a deal done.
A source said that Batherson could use Adrian Kempe‘s $10.625 million as a comp. The Senators have a history of not liking to hand out large amounts for bonuses and salary up front, which may lead Batherson to at least test the open market.
Senators GM Steve Staios would also like to extend defenseman Artem Zub, who will be a UFA after next season as well.
