Sens Chirp reports Sens have interest in PJ Axelsson

Bloggers have been playing up the Alfie-Axelsson connection for years, since the lockout or whatever. Barring an unforeseen move (like trading one of our PKers, Kelly or Ruutu), I don't think anything will come of it.

Don't blame Chirp on this one. He's NOT saying this. He's saying that other people are saying this, but he sees no supporting evidence.

Amazing how quick a story can get twisted beyond recognition.

Penner Spezza Kovalev
Foligno Fisher Shannon (if edmonton deal goes down)
Alfie Kelly Axellson
Ruttu Cogliano Neil

Potentially hurts the development of important young players like Winchester, Regin, Bass though.
