Are the Senators and Flames potential trade partners for Sean Monahan?
As the 2016 NHL Draft concluded in Buffalo, Pierre Dorion and Brad Treliving had an extended conversation on the floor at First Niagara Center.The general managers were laying the groundwork for what turned out to be Dorions first trade at the helm of the Senators. Forty-eight hours after that conversation, the clubs struck a minor deal that saw Alex Chiasson shipped to Calgary for Patrick Sieloff.In the following five years, the two Canadian counterparts have made two other trades  both struck around the trade deadline. In March 2017, the Senators shipped Curtis Lazar to Calgary for a second-round pick. The following year, the Senators sent Nick Shore to the Flames at the deadline for a seventh-round pick.
