What's Murray's next move ?

If I were the coach, I would ask him what his thoughts were on having the best possible outcome and giving his suggestions a try.

I wonder what Murray meant by "big" defenseman? Big in stature? Big name? Big ticket? Big time?

Goodie Wilson repeated that he expects the Senators to acquire a defenseman this morning with Al Armstrong.

I hope he means that we're rolling 2 strong scoring lines and that Michalek will be on one of them.

Seriously though, I really want to see Cheechoo with Spezza. Michalek on line 2 with Fisher and Kovalev or Alfie's a good way of spreading things out IMO. But, in Clouston we trust.

Cheechoo's so slow. Let him play first PP a la Shanahan. I'd love to see what possibilities Michalek's speed could open up for Spezza.

Great shot and great work ethic, but let's not confuse the guy with Ovechkin or something.

It won't happen, but I'd love to see him here. He's UFA next season though, so we have a shot at him (hopefully) if talks with A-Train go off the rails.
