Trade Winds and Info...
Well, a lot has transpired over the last 7 days. It has been fun to be a Sens fan because there are lots of rumours being posted about our team for a change.
I hope to put some truth and rest to certain rumours with this post.
First and foremost, I was glad to hear Kaigorodov will be here next year and I 100% guaranteed he would be here and at camp this season in an earlier post I made. He will make a huge impact on the team.
Also, I broke the Volchenkov and partial Chris Kelly rumours long ago, and sure enough trade winds came up in the SUN and on other hockey sites confirming these even further. Yes - they are true - not so much for Chris Kelly, as he would be added incentive to a good trade, but more for Volchenkov. I know a lot of you seem to like the play of Anton, but it is time for him to move on while he still has some trade value and I think the team is taking this approach as well. I can tell you that he is not as highly regarded as he once was. Actually over the years he has dropped his level of play alot and is no longer a huge force on the ice. Moving him to obtain a solid winger makes more than enough sense for this team as they have a lot of defence in their system, some developing - yes - and some ready to play a role. I do expect this move to happen, whether it be before the training camp or during the season, I highly doubt you see Volchenkov here any longer than this season if at all.
As for a trade with Phillips, if anything were to happen, it might be a deadline deal I am told, but he and the team want him in Ottawa and I think he will stay unless an unreal deal comes along that cannot be turned down......
Axelsson to Ottawa would be great, but not very likely, but not impossible either. Boston and Chairelli are asking a lot and it seems that it would be difficult to pull off, but I have heard rumblings that if it were to happen, perhaps it may be way of a 3 team deal, sending Axelsson to Ottawa, a forward to Boston and the likes of Volch. and prospect to another team......
Once again, if you have any questions, feel free to post a comment and I will do my best to answer them. Like I mentioned once the season starts I will continue to post my rumours and inside info, but also add weekly reports and game analysis/thoughts/coverage of the team.
Thats all for now.

Can you elaborate on what teams might be interested in acquiring Volchenkov?
Thanks.
A little birdie told me that the Sens have inquired about the availability of Scott Hartnell, and would be willing to part with Volchenkov in such a deal. Can you confirm or deny?
jack....your little birdie is on to something. I can confirm there has been some prelim. talk regarding hartnell. Also, New Jersey, LA, Boston and EDM have been contacted, nothing firm though.
I personally think Hartnell would be a nice fit here. Who did you acquire this info from, whomever it is, they are on track.
Hey SI,
I have a contact within the Sens organization. I very seldomly get to speak with him because we're both very busy, but ran into him at dinner last night and he mentioned that the Sens were talking to Nashville with regards to a potential Hartnell for Volchenkov swap. We'll have to wait and see I guess. If I hear anything more I'll let you know.
Your source is credible and has heard correct.
Hah, I had heard the Hartnell for Volchenkov rumor as well from someone but I didn't believe him initially! He had also told me about a Konowalchuk+ for Phillips trade. SI, Have you heard anything about that?
If it's Konowalchuk + for Phillips, the + better be a lot.
any new info on gionta coming to the sens?
What would the Sens have to offer to get Gionta? Volchenkov and Vermette?
I dont think vermette is an option. Kelly I have heard however. Right now it looks the Sens may start the season with the team they have. We'll See. I will be looking to get more info when camp starts.
Thanks
SI
Nothing to report ?
Or is this blog just bogus ?
