Barring any last-minute changes, the Ottawa Senators will trade center Matt Duchene before the Feb. 25 deadline, TSN's Darren Dreger reported on Sunday.

Mark Stone's future in Ottawa should also be determined early this week, well in advance of the trade deadline, Dreger added.

It was reported Saturday that the Senators officially made Duchene available, and recent developments suggest the 28-year-old's departure from Ottawa is imminent.
