OTTAWA—Changes are inevitable after the Ottawa Senators finished 30th overall in the NHL standings, but captain Erik Karlsson is hopeful they won’t include him. “There’s always a possibility that’s going to be the case unfortunately,” the star defenceman said. The Senators entertained a number of offers for Karlsson at the trade deadline, but in the end felt no deal was good enough. Speculation on Karlsson’s future ramped up after he picked up the puck following the Senators final home game of the season. Head coach Guy Boucher said he was going to take as much responsibility as possible for what went wrong this season.
