By no means is anyone trying to imply that he is 'the one'. He's got an expiring contract and if you don't know how the rest of this season turns out, why would you want to get rid of the first rounder or 2nd rounder for another dman who may or may not help stabilize us?

My thinking is Murray rides it the way it is till Monday. If we get blown out on Saturday night against the hated leafs, you better believe Murray is going to make a move. Either way, I think he makes some kind of a move (i.e. trade or UFA signing)

What UFA can the sens target?

No one IMO. It's trade or bust right now.

Dreger mentioned that EDM would prefer to have Whitney find his game because they need him.

From the press box? I mean, he's pissed off right now, I don't think they can mend that bridge.

Tell it to Dreger.

I'd sooner see young Jay Boumeester join the Sens anyway.

He's DONE. Garbage. Zero risk but NO gain.

Whether Whitney or not - I think they need another D-man with > 82 games NHL experience. Lebda?

Another left handed shot taking a spot that could be given to Wiercioch or Borowiecki? What's the point really? Because I can't find one. Or maybe you still think we can make a playoff run?

How can anyone in here say we have even a chance to make the playoffs? I'm not saying it is 100% impossible, but there's not a single argument that can be made that we will.
