Seriously though, Sutton deal aside, if we trade Volchenkov...and that's an IF...it will be a hockey deal players for players. There's no way murray takes picks for him. that being said, I say that if they can't come to a deal, then let him play out his contract (he'll probably be amazing ) and trade him at the draft if needed.

That was Brendan Witt.

CRAP....well then let's see if he can handle the truck hit too! and then we'll test Heatley....when we find him.

Word is Seidenberg will cost a late 1st or a 2nd and a decent prospect. He's worth a lot more than Sutton.

Bulletin: Ottawa acquires Andy Sutton from the N.Y. Islanders for a second-round draft pick in 2010

OTTAWA - Ottawa Senators general manager Bryan Murray announced today the club has acquired defenceman Andy Sutton from the New York Islanders in exchange for a second-round draft choice (acquired from the San Jose Sharks) in the 2010 National Hockey League Entry Draft.

Sutton, 34, is currently in his 11th NHL season and his third with the Islanders. In 54 games this season, he has scored four goals, while adding eight assists and 73 penalty minutes. The native of Kingston, Ont., has averaged 20:48 in time-on-ice per game this season and leads New York in both hits (155) and blocked shots (153). The 153 blocked shots are second most in the NHL.

In 567 career NHL games with San Jose, the Minnesota Wild, Atlanta Thrashers and the Islanders, Sutton has scored 34 goals, added 101 assists and 984 penalty minutes. He has played in four career playoff games, all with Atlanta in 2006-07.

The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Sutton was signed as an undrafted free agent by San Jose on March 20, 1998, before being traded to Minnesota on June 12, 2000, with a seventh-round draft pick in 2000 and a third-round pick in 2001 for the Wild’s eighth-round selection that same year. He was traded to Atlanta for Hnat Domenichelli on Jan. 22, 2002, and signed with the Islanders as a free agent on Aug. 10, 2007.

The second-round draft pick traded away by the Senators was acquired along with Milan Michalek and Jonathan Cheechoo from San Jose in exchange for forward Dany Heatley and Ottawa’s fifth-round draft choice in 2010 on Sept. 12, 2009.

Mind you, Brendan Witt is now patrolling the blue line in the Isles AHL affiliate, so...yeah, the truck won in the end.

I guess Lee is riding the bus to Bingo tonight.

I doubt that, he'll be the extra D-man if I'm not mistaken.

The size of our blueline just got even bigger.

There's no need to keep him up though. Why not save the cap space right?

After the 6-1 beating Bingo took they could use some help.

Seriously, can Murray can a leave of absense for the month leading up to the deadline. Please?

I can't take any more of these deadlines full of "depth moves". Either don't do anything and keep your draft picks (the draft is this team's bread and butter) or make a trade for someone who will come in and actually make a difference.

In case you hadn't noticed Murray we need a PUCK MOVING DEFENCEMAN, not a redundant player with 10 Diddling points. I don't give a Dung about depth. Giving up goals isn't our biggest priority, not by a long shot.

It doesn't matter. He won't be here next year.

Oh, now Volchenkov is absolutely not going anywhere. Those are the 8 D-men we're going with.

Phillips, Volchenkov, Kuba, Karlsson, Sutton, Carkner, Campoli, Lee.

Not too shabby.

The EIGHT D-men we are going with? Don't you see a problem here?

7 + 1 in Bingo (Lee), yeah. Injuries are deadly in the post-season.

Mind you, if we could trade Lee or Campoli and get a 2nd back..then I'd be happy. In fact, look for both to be moved in the summer IMO.

"Depth" is THE word around Ottawa. That's why we re-signed the Del-ler. Let's all cross our fingers and hope he's the 2nd line LW we need so desperately.
