Erik Karlsson was still an Ottawa Senator after the NHL trade deadline and hopes to remain one for many more years. Karlsson, who can become an unrestricted free agent after the 2018-19 season, now hopes to sign a new deal to stay in Ottawa. "We just bought a home in Ottawa, so it's been a new experience for me and for everybody that's close to me. GM Pierre Dorion has said he plans to offer Karlsson an extension July 1 if he's still Ottawa property. "There's been a lot of changes made here recently and I'm sure there's going to be a lot more as we head into the summer.
