Monday, February 26th is the day hockey fans have been waiting for because it's TradeCentre day and there are some big names available to say the least.
Erik Karlsson is obviously the biggest name that has been rumoured to be on the move, but as you can see, the last thing Senators fans want to happen before the deadline is for him to get dealt. Sunday night, one passionate Ottawa fan took to Twitter to rant about the rumours and the rant was NSFW and hilarious at the same time. (Warning: Video NSFW due to explicit language)My 84 year-old Mom (diehard Sens fans and sweetest person on planet) yesterday: "If they trade Karlsson, I'm not cheering for them anymore."

If Mom's angry, we have issues.
It's literally impossible not to watch this rant and laugh, but the biggest takeaway from the rant is that shortly after it was posted, Karlsson actually followed this guy on Twitter.Maybe trading @erikkarlsson65 is a mistake??? #Sens https://t.co/28rkfLEugG

After @ErikKarlsson65 gets traded I hope he does a cameo on one of the rants and tells us all the real story. #Sens #MelnykOut #PleaseStayErik

bRian, the people have spoken. It's now on you to do something to stop a trade from happening and keep Karlsson long term.YOU HAVE HIS ATTENTION

Not sure about formality, but believe Erik Karlsson has made it known to Ottawa in recent days that he would prefer to see expedited resolution to the current situation.

If no trade materializes here, OTT will need to quickly regroup this summer.
bRian has until 3pm ET and he, along with hockey fans everywhere will be glued to their televisions all day long for every update they can get on Karlsson.
