According to the Score network out of Canada, the Ottawa Senators are very close to acquiring center Craig Conroy from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for defenseman Christoph Schubert, prospects Ilya Zubov and Danny Bois, and a draft choice. The 35 year old center, who is a free agent after this season, would be a natural fit as a number 2 center behind Jason Spezza.

Muckler denies Alfreddson rumors

After recent reports suggested their was a trade brewing between the Kings and Sens involving Daneil Alfreddson, Senators GM Muckler has denied any such rumors. It’s quite obvious as well, there is no way this team would trade their captain and arguably their franchise player.

Sens no longer persuing Perreault

After the Ottawa Senators got off to a shaky start to their season, Muckler began talking to free agent Yanic Perreault to help add some depth up front. But after the last 3 games, the Ottawa Senators are starting to grow into last years form with 3 solid wins over the past 3 games, with 2 of them being against the Leafs. The Sens won 8-1 against New Jersey, 6-2 and 7-2 against the Leafs.

Now with their strong performance lately, the Ottawa Sun reports GM Mucker has pulled out of the Perreault chase, as he believes his offense is perfectly fine, and i’m sure the Leafs will tend to agree.
