On the VAN/AZ trade talks involving Oliver Ekman-Larsson:

There’s chatter Brandon Sutter ($4.375M cap hit) might be part of a package to AZ. He owns a 15-team no-trade list, and FWIW I’m told AZ is not on that list.

Sens GM Pierre Dorion says “99%” they keep the 5th overall pick…which was thought to be potentially in play. (He’s already said they are keeping #3).
Dorion will join us on the #TSN Mock Draft with Craig Button, which airs tomorrow 11:30am et on TSN 5.
