Senators' Dion Phaneuf: May be on trade block

Phaneuf was pulled from Tuesday's game against the Penguins to be traded to Los Angeles, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.

Analysis:

Nothing is official yet, but yanking the veteran blueliner from the game without an injury is a clear sign that Ottawa is serious about trading him to the Kings, who are in the midst of the playoff hunt. Phaneuf would likely slot into a top-four defensive role in Los Angeles if this becomes official.
