They have pretty much ZERO cap space, but they always seem to find a way.  You're right though, they pretty much might be tapped out at this point.

Watch them "loan" a player to a Euro league.

I'm sure they could do something creative with the other team retaining salary if Chicago added assets to an offer....there's always a way.

Sekac on waivers from Chicago...guess they're still trying.

Cowen too

McGuire was having a chuckle last night because all these teams apparently do is put guys on LTIR until day one of the playoffs if they need to make room.

Do we put in a claim? Maybe they know someone wants him?

Absolutely. That's exactly what we're missing!

Fare thee well, J-Cows. I wish the Sens had waived you a few months ago (or a year ago) to try and get you rebuilt in the AHL, but I guess that's that.

Sure but I think it worked out OK with Phaneuf now on the team.

Garrioch is (was?) on 1200 just now. Missed most of it so an update would be appreciated.

I did hear that he doesn't think Zibanejad or Lazar would be dealt for Drouin...

Dang, I don't have my earbuds with me, so can't listen at work, but here's the podcast of the Garrioch segment:

Like trading Scuderi to the Kings, for instance.

Can't listen, what did he say? Anything significant?

I'm guessing by the lack of Twitter uproar right now that there wasn't anything significant.

Bobby Mac is unofficially saying Ehrhoff to Chicago.

Edit: Scuderi/Ehrhoff.

Does anyone think that there's even a small chance Stamkos gets traded by the deadline?

About a snowball's chance in hell I'd say.

I don't know if you guys watched the last interview with BM but he seems a little unsure when answering the question on if negotiations about a contract with Hoffman was in the works. He said that could wait. But wideman was pressing? A little weird if you ask me. Might be problems ahead.

I get the feeling both sides want to wait till the end of the season to start negotiating. From sens perspective, that's not bad because in the end his final numbers may not be that much higher than what he got the previous season.

With BM, the day or two before alfie left for free agency, he came out and pondered 'I don't know why everyone's worrying so much, I expect things will get done soon with alfie'. and then two days later he's signing with the red wings. I won't read too much into his answer except that they're not in any rush. He's still an RFA.
