*-> The Ottawa Senators are willing to make a hockey trade for a forward for next season and are openly shopping Alex Chiasson, and Shane Prince. The Sens wont part with any future unless it means a high quality young winger who can play now. Don't expect a rental for a miracle run like last season GM Murray is well aware that realistically it wont happen again. All in all the Sens could remain pat with their current roster as not much is expected to change.
They reportedly have an offer on the table for Jonathan Drouin with the Bolts. The Lightning are keen on Chabot but the Sens arn't budging on him. The Sens would love to package Mikael Wikstrand after he took off this fall back to Sweden to be with his brother. The Lightning are also been rumored to be kicking tires at Cody Ceci in a package something the Sens may consider now with Phaneuf and free agency this summer.
Expect Patrick Weircoch to be moved today, the team really would like to move on and get something for him. The Avalanche have looked at him earlier this season.
As mentioned before TSN is reporting the Sens are in on Nail Yakupov.
I talked to my Sens guy late last week and was told that Dion Phaneuf still has many in the Ottawa organization iffy on him. The fans last week let it be known that they accept the one time rival but the Sens brass view this as a trial for him. They were extremely uneasy about the deal when they made it but feel it was the best they could achieve with what they were selling.
