*-> I dug a bit deeper with my source about the Ottawa Senators involved with Penner and or Wheeler. It appears that Brian Murray is definately interested in Penner but laughed about the Oilers parting with him right now. It's also a cap hit Ottawa can't take unless they can find a partner for the enigmatic Alexei Kovalev. He did however say that Boston could be a trading partner for the Sens because the Bruins scouts have been visiting. Nothing solid on ether but it does make sense on the Penner side of things. As for Wheeler it's something that could be visited if the Sens could pull the trigger on another cap clearing deal first. Murray has already addmitted that he would have to do a cap for cap trade. Jesse Winchester and Brian Lee seam to be the main candidates at this point.
*-> Montreal is set to add Andrei Markov back into the lineup Friday and will have to clear a body out on the backend to make room. It appears that ether Ryan O'Byrne or Alexandre Picard will be moved or demoted. Colorado is being speculated as interested in the big bodied Ryan O'Byrne. O'Byrne has fell fast out of favor with the Habs ands Picard has played himself back into the NHL with the Habs. I think that today or tomorrow morning one of the two will be moved or waived chances are it will be O'Byrne because he'll relieve the Habs of cap and is the only one with value at this point.
More around noon including another Kirill Kabanov episode/ rumor
