Senators GM: No one's asked for a trade, I haven't shopped anyone

The Ottawa Senators' poor season apparently hasn't motivated players to head for the hills.

General manager Pierre Dorion noted to reporters Thursday that no player has requested a trade, according to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

Dorion also said he hasn't shopped any players to other teams - though that's partly because other teams came calling on their own.

"I haven't shopped anyone," Dorion said, according to TSN's Brent Wallace. He added, "We have good players - that's why they (other GMs) are calling."

The Senators currently own the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference, and are consequently widely expected to be sellers at the trade deadline.

The general manager added that he has not been instructed to shed salary, suggesting a full-scale rebuild isn't currently top of mind.
