Trade Rumours Galore
With the trade deadline about a week away, the rumour mill is in full swing as hockey fans, insiders and journalists give their two cents on what will and what should happen. Which team is a seller? Which is a buyer? How many are still in limbo? As mentioned, with so little time left to make a move, each team will have to decide how they will enter the trade market and if they have a realistic expectation of a long playoff run.I've already talked about Gary Roberts and there is no doubt in my mind Florida will part with him, but with many bidders for his services, it's hard to say just how much he'll cost. John Muckler likes to hand on to his "addition without subtraction" philosophy, but that has to change. I don't think teams are looking for draft picks, especially with many scouts stating this year's entry draft is weak. I believe Muckler might have to move a young guy like Eaves or Kelly to get that impact player Ottawa has never traded for in the past.
Aside from Roberts, I've heard Keith Tkachuk, Bill Guerin and even Ryan Smyth as possible Senator pickups. I can't stand Tkachuk (hasn't accomplished much of anything in his career) but Guerin would be a nice fit. He has a Cup ring, is a rugged checker with a nice scoring touch and provides much needed veteran experience. Would you trade Eaves for this rental? I would, in a heartbeat. I think Ottawa is good enough to make a serious run at the Cup. (I just don't see how the Oilers can part with Smyth, and if they do, how much it will cost the Senators to make such a move).
In the East, I think Buffalo, New Jersey and Ottawa are the strongest contenders. (Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh are near the top of the standings but I believe their goaltending will kill any chances). From the West, I think Anaheim, Nashville, San Jose and Detroit are the most dangerous. With the standings so close, anything can happen. Muckler needs to make a move to improve his club, a trade that could put them over the top, to eek out what will be a dogfight right down to the finish.
