Sens on Short List for Schultz

Some good news for Sens fans to start the day as Justin Schultz has narrowed down his list of teams and the list includes the Ottawa Senators.

As many as 26 teams have shown interest in the college star but the Senators have been selected as one of the final teams that are now expected to make a pitch to the highly touted free agent.

According to a tweet from TSN's Bob McKenzie, the other teams on the list include the Toronto Maple Leafs, the New York Rangers, the Edmonton Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks.

While Schultz can't sign with a new team until the market officially opens on July 1, the belief is he will make a decision at some point over the weekend.

  • As I mentioned on this site yesterday, Sens defenceman Matt Carkner has indeed turned down an offer and appears poised to test the free agent market. According to Bruce Garrioch, the offer from the Senators was for one year.
  • Pierre Dorion mentioned that if PA Parenteau was to hit the market, he is a player the Sens might be interested in, assuming the price was right. Parenteau is from the area and is coming off a couple solid seasons (53 pts, 67pts) with the Islanders.
