This comes from my most reliable source, so I believe it.

It's a 2-way contract and the Sens have told Locke to be prepared to be up and down between the AHL and the NHL a lot.

Very, very nice signing.

Bingo needs a skilled center in a big, big way.

Reading up on him, he's an all-star centre in the AHL. Good depth move for Bingo with the loss of St. Pierre's offense.

EDIT: Spezz beat me to it.

Great move, I love it. He's a good guy too. He'll be staying with a friend of ours for a while in Ottawa (although...he won't be in Ottawa very often IMO).

Oh...even though I don't care how well the Baby Sens do, it is a good signing then.

Although, I will only believe it until when it is official Smile

From talking with a few people who bordered Locke when he was with the 67s, it's official all right.

Look at the numbers in the AHL. Hello playoffs IMO. And playoffs will be awesome for Wiercioch, Cowen (Spokane's season will be done I'm sure), Gryba, Greening etc. etc. etc.

Very, very nice. Wick, Butler, these guys will be fed passes left, right and center from Locke.

Hopefully Carkner will be the guy going to the AHL playoffs with Cowen in the NHL playoffs Breaking News: The Sens sign Corey Locke 159628

Never. Carkner got his reward, which was a 1-way, 700K a year deal. At the worst for him he'll be a scratch in the playoffs, but I think he plays.

True, I forgot about the one-way.

Locke is also a winner of the calder trophy with Hamilton in '06-'07, so he knows what it takes to win at the AHL level. Still, sad to see such a talent never make it to the NHL.

EDIT: meant Calder cup, but you get it.
