This afternoon a new report from Ottawa Senators insider Bruce Garrioch has revealed the team is looking to make a major trade in the coming weeks.

The 2024-25 season was expected to be a major step forward for the Ottawa Senators as they look to push their way back into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Through 20 games in the NHL season the Ottawa Senators find themselves near the bottom of the Atlantic Division and six points out of a playoff spot.

The team's struggles have led fans to want a big trade to help give the group a chance to get back in the playoff race.

This afternoon a new report from Bruce Garrioch has revealed that the Senators fans might get what they want as the Senators are exploring major trade scenarios.

Senators insider hints a major trade is on the horizon

Recently, Bruce Garrioch spoke about the Ottawa Senators' recent injury to defenseman Artem Zub.

The injury further exposed the Senators' need for depth within their defensive unit.

To begin the season 2024 NHL Draft pick Carter Yakemchuk almost made the Senators opening night lineup due to the team's lack of depth.

Without keeping Carter Yakemchuk the Senators have heavily relied on their top pair of Jake Sanderson and Thomas Chabot to play a ton of minutes this season.

According to Bruce Garrioch Senators GM Steve Staios is working hard to make that change and could be aggressive on the trade market to acquire a defenseman.

It remains to be seen what level of defenseman the Ottawa Senators are looking for in a trade.

With Jake Sanderson and Thomas Chabot playing big minutes the Senators could look for a depth defenseman to just fill in while Artem Zub is out.

If Steve Staios feels the pressure to make a big addition we could see the first major trade of the NHL season involving the Ottawa Senators landing a big name defenseman.

As the weeks go by and more reports come out regarding the Ottawa Senators pursuit of a defenseman we will pass along the latest news.
