Busy times ahead for Senators?
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun suggests that Ottawa Senators GM Bryan Murray will get a few calls from rival GMs trying to persuade him to make some ill advised trades.
But even though his club is mired in a six-game losing, don’t expect Murray to pull the trigger on any short-sighted deals. Especially when it comes to moving players like forward Antoine Vermette and defenseman Andrej Meszaros.
Murray said over the week-end that “he would rather make deals when the club is winning,” so it’s likely he will stay patient and let his club pull itself out of their slump before making changes.
It’s believed that Murray would like to acquire some depth, and add a top-six forward. That’s easier said than done, however, as those types of players are hard to come by.
There’s also talk that the Senators would not mind moving defenseman Joe Corvo. The Colorado Avalanche may be interested as they are said to be looking for a blueliner. The problem with Corvo is that he makes $2.62 million per season; that won’t help his marketability.
