The Ottawa Senators and winger Drake Batherson are negotiating a contract extension, with a September 15th deadline for an eight-year deal and a potential second deadline set for the start of the season on October 3rd. Batherson, who scored 33 goals and 38 assists last season, is seeking a double-digit AAV, a figure the Senators are currently reluctant to meet. In other news, Canadiens prospect Yevgeni Volokhin has signed a new three-year deal with KHL Spartak, and Lightning prospect Noah Steen is set to begin his first full professional season in North America while keeping a future return to SHL Orebro in mind.
