Report: Senators will try to trade Alex Chiasson at NHL draft

The Ottawa Senators are looking to deal in Buffalo.

With the hockey world gathered at First Niagara Center for the NHL draft, general manager Pierre Dorion will try to trade winger Alex Chiasson before heading home, according to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

A few teams are believed to have expressed interest in the 25-year-old, who has recorded 19 goals and 21 assists in 153 games since being acquired from the Dallas Stars in the Jason Spezza trade.

Chiasson, a restricted free agent, made $1.2 million on a one-year contract in 2016-17.
