Scouting the Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings
Max Bultman: Scouts listed to attend last night’s Senators-Red Wings game include the Winnipeg Jets (2), Tampa Bay Lightning (2), Arizona Coyotes, Colorado Avalanche, Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Anaheim Ducks, St. Louis Blues, Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers and the New York Islanders.
Gord Miller: Lightning assistant GM and director of player personnel Pat Verbeek lives in the Detroit so it’s not a surprise that he’s at the Senators-Wings game. Verbeek was in Ottawa on Tuesday and watched another Senators game last week.
Bob McKenzie: Believe that the Jets will go hard after Senators Mark Stone. Can expect Senators GM Pierre Dorion will be looking at all Jets and Manitoba Moose (AHL) players.

Ken Wiebe: Ottawa Senators GM Pierre Dorion, assistant GM Peter MacTavish and their chief pro scout Jim Clarke were among the ‘scouts’ listed to attend last night’s Jets-Avalanche game.

Bobrovsky/Panarin’s agent was in Columbus
David Pagnotta: Sergei Bobrovsky and Artemi Panarin‘s agent Paul Theofanous was in Columbus meeting/speaking with GM Jarmo Kekalainen. Likely just getting updates on any developments. Kekalainen has said he’s waiting for trade offers.
Two teams interested in Hagelin
Jimmy Murphy: Have been hearing that the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens have shown interest in Los Angeles Kings forward Carl Hagelin.
Teams interested in Henrique?
The Fourth Period: Anaheim Ducks forward Adam Henrique is generating a lot of trade interest. His five-year, $29.125 extension kicks in next year, along with his 10-team no-trade list.
The Montreal Canadiens, Minnesota Wild and Carolina Hurricanes are among the teams that are looking for centers.
Teams are also calling the Ducks about Cam Fowler, Nick Ritchie, Brandon Montour and Rickard Rakell.
