Zaitsev has one season left after this year on a 7 year contract with an AAV of $4,500,000. He had requested a trade out of Ottawa on multiple occasions apparently, and the Senators were also trying to move him out, but until now it was to no success.

Zaitsev also had a limited no trade clause, but Chicago was not on his no trade list.
