by The Ottawa senators would have managed a second business just before the deadline for 3:00 p.m. Friday afternoon. According to Eliot Friedman of Sportsnet, the senses acquired the winger of the San Jose Sharks, Fabian Zetterlund, their top scorer last season.
The senses would also obtain the center of Sad Robins Minor League, and a fourth round draft choice in exchange for striker Noah Gregor, the striker Zack Ostapchuk and a second round draft choice in 2025.

In Ottawa: Zetterlund, Robins and a 4th
In San Jose: Ostapchuk, Gregor and 2025 of OTT– ELIOTE Friedman (@FrieGEHNIC) March 7, 2025
Almost two hours after the NHL negotiation, the agreement had not yet been confirmed by senators or sharks. Some years, the wait in the queue takes more time than others.
Zetterlund would be the centerpiece of this profession. He is 25 years old and was a choice of third round of the New Jersey Devils. He has spent the last two and a half seasons with the Sharks, scoring 24 goals to lead the Sharks last year and is roughly in pace for a similar total this season.
Zetterlund is strong on his skates at 220 pounds and skating well for a big attacker. Like TNT analyst, Paul Bissonnette, said it today, he built like a cigarette machine.
The thing that fans will notice the most is his fatal liberation that Travis Green will probably put wisely on the power game.
Gregor was solid for the senators and returned to San Jose, the team that drafted him. Ostapchuk, while being developed, has the potential to be a good bottom forward in the NHL. But one cannot ignore that none of the two players contributed offensively. They both played more than 40 games in Ottawa and in these 80 years and over, they combined for 10 points.
Overall, the Director General Steve Staios did a good job on the deadline, improving the list despite his handcuffed handcuffs by the ceiling constraints and do not drain the basin of prospects and already shallow choices from the club.
The acquisition of Zetterlund adds an offensive depth essential to the six of the senators. He is in the last year of his contract, but still under the control of the team as a limited free agent this summer.
The drawback, however, is that after two consecutive seasons to score more than 20 goals, Zetterlund will seek a sharp increase in his current salary of $ 1.4 million.
Robins is a choice of 2020 second by the Sharks (56th in total) but has not yet appeared as a marker in the NHL, even less the NHL. It therefore probably represents a contract whose sharks were to move. But who knows? Almost everything else that came out of the NHL 2020 draft turned in gold for Ottawa. Perhaps (with apologies), a change of address made that Robins Rockin ‘.
