The Senators GM is spending the mandated five-day break scouting at the world junior championship at the Bell Centre in Montreal and he’s been spending a lot of time talking to teams about the possibility of acquiring a forward.

Speaking on TSN 1200 Wednesday afternoon from Montreal before attending the two semi-final games, Dorion said a lot of his counterparts are at the tourney and he’s also been working the phones.

“There’s many guys here,” said Dorion, who spoke with six or seven GMs when he was last in Montreal on Dec. 28. “I’ve been on the phone all day pretty much with my other counterparts. As quiet as it was before Christmas, I think talks are heating up but it’s very difficult to make trades.

“Sometimes budget comes into it for other teams, sometimes it’s the number of contracts … So, working hard at it, I’m always looking to improve our team but there’s nothing imminent or at the forefront right now.”
