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.

Dorion says he knows changes may need to be made. #Sens

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