*-> The Ottawa Senators are working the phones still its being reported. The Sens are trying to move a body on the backend to clear some cap and avoid losing David Hale for nothing. GM Murray is looking to get something back for Hale instead of placing him on waivers and losing him. Brian Lee is also an odd man out but he too would have to pass through the wire. Its being said Hale is the defenseman they'd like to keep due to his decent play but there are currently no real takers. Some are also saying Murrays asking price is too steap for the 1st rounder. The Sens may be forced to deal Hale to attempt to get anything back in return. So far no rumored players in this yet but could the Minnesota connection come back into play?
*-> The Sharks/Bolts trade talk continues as the Sharks are reportedly looking at a pucking moving defenseman in Tampa. Some have said Matias Ohlund is the target as well as the M.A Bergeron signing for Tampa depends on moving a body. More on this one this afternoon.
*-> The Boston Bruins have said they have no intentions on trading or demoting Michael Ryder at the moment and there is no immediate plans for a trade as Marc Savard is still quite away from being in game shape. Marco Sturm will return in 2 weeks but trade plans arnt in the works yet. Its going to be interesting to see what the B's do when everyones healthy and the cap crunch is on. Could Raask be dealt? If Thomas stays hot it's a possibility but still a long shot as I'm sure the Bruins wish to retain youth till the system is restocked again.
