Ottawa Senators TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

We'll see. Not totally sold on that happening but if it did, I am a long time Glencross fan so I would be very happy.

Michalek is on the ice before practice, testing out his knee.

Michalek coming back would be great - if he can stay awhile.

Don "the douche" Brennan: Milan Michalek skated, in track suit, before practice today at Sensplex. There is talk he could make the trip, but don't expect him to play.

Still early days.

He will get a weeks worth of games in before the end of the season which will be perfect. Hopefully Spezza gets on the ice as well but that's probably asking a little too much.

I imagine a lot of teams would be in on Glencross if he is on the market. We could afford it but is it worth spending a lot for a 30-year old Glencross ?

No one that is going after him could really give up roster player right now either, that's where the Sens have the edge.

Craig Anderson will go on road trip with the Sens. He doesn't want to set a timeline for his return, but sounds like this week is possible.

Craig Anderson: "We just need to be sure that when I do get in there, there are no question marks and no hesitations. We're not there yet."

Sounds like he will start by backing up at some point... my guess will be Friday.

Gotta be frustrating for Anderson. I'm sure he wants to get back in there but he does not want to be doubting his performance if he feels his ankle is not ready. He's waiting for that "I'm ready" moment. Hopefully soon.

Brent Wallace: Michalek and Anderson are both going on the trip and MacLean is hoping they both play at some point on the trip

That would be huge

LeBrun says we've received several calls on Bishop. Want a top-6 F in return and we're not desperate to trade him either.

Glencross for Bishop makes so much sense....straight up even but might need a 3rd rounder to make it happen. Actually any one of Glencross, camalleri, or tanguay would work in Ottawa

EDIT: every time I write 'ottawa' it changes to 'toronto'. WTF??

Cammalleri is supposedly a jerk and not someone you want in your dressing room, dunno shrug. At least he doesn't have an NMC/NTC like Glencross (who may not want to go anywhere). I don't know if his $6M is too much for us though.

He is a guy who wants to win so I can't imagine him wanting to stay in Calgary.

Tanguay is 33 is signed for several more years, I can't see that working out, he likes it there and seems to do well (he was a bust in Tampa)

Think I'm going to jump on the Cammalleri train. He's a finisher we need at the moment and though it's $6M, it's only for another year and then he's a UFA. You're right Tanguay isn't a target because of the contract. Glencross has a really good contract but might cost more and there's of course the NMC that he's got.

Did I forget to say "Lehner. Book it!" ?
