Rumor: Ottawa sends massive trade offer to the Rangers for #1 pick

The New York Rangers are expecting to receive a ton of phone calls regarding the number one overall pick and what their plans are for the selection. Lately, the chatter has come from the LA Kings and now the Ottawa Senators.

According to a source close to the Senators operations, the team has reached out to the Rangers and offered a huge package to bring Alexis Lafreniere to Canada's capital.

Sens are willing to deal #3, #5, and next year's 1st rounder. Huge package and the Rangers didn't hang up immediately, so there's slight potential here. Hearing the Rangers told the Sens, Brady Tkachuk must be in the deal if they are even going to consider it. Picks 3,5 and Tkachuk is huge return.

As many hockey insiders have mentioned, the chatter is picking up between the non-playoff teams and the draft will see a ton of trades! Will this be one of them?
