Ottawa Shopping Picks

Senators: News out of Ottawa suggests that the Senators will be open to shopping some of the five picks they have in the first two rounds. It looks like GM Murray is looking for a scoring forward and is willing to part with some picks to get it.

Jmess: Not a bad idea by Murray. This years draft isn't looking like the best for really good offensive talent so moving some of his picks may be a good thing. However there isn't much out there and I don't think they'd want Martin Havlat back

Leafs Looking for Centre

Leafs: Reports out of Toronto are saying that GM Brian Burke's main priority this offseason is finding that elusive number one centre. The obvious candidate here is Brad Richards.

Jmess: I'm not completely convinced the Leafs have much of a shot of landing Richards this off season. The Stars ownership situation looks like it may be solved sooner than later, and Richards has publicly expressed his love for Dallas. I expect Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk to be working around the clock on getting Richards back, now that the Stars off season has started.

The Return

NRS is back and hopefully will be in full swing again. It's only been a two year hiatus but things have been stabilized and I am ready to get to informing the masses with all the trade and free agent rumors they could possibly need. Again excited to be back and let the rumors flow.
