"Meanwhile, after a stuttering start, Anderson was very good for the Senators in 2011-12. He was one of the team’s most consistent players in the series with the Rangers. He’s 30 years old and he carries a very friendly cap hit of $3.1875 million over the next three seasons.

It might take some Murray smooth-talking, but who knows, trading Anderson, even as part of a package, could answer the need for both a proven, point-producing forward and a defensive defenceman.

At a glance, Tampa Bay, New Jersey, Winnipeg and Columbus are among the teams that should be eager to talk.

If Murray can get something done, or in anticipation of it happening, Malcolm Subban is the top-rated North American goaltender available in the draft and he could very well still be available when the Senators use the 15th pick overall.

That they are finally deep at what was previously a position of weakness means the Senators are probably leery of moving a goalie.

But they should, because it’s now a position of strength, and Anderson would get them the best return."

Elgondolkodtató. Bishop és Lehner adhatja a megfelelő hátteret ehhez a verzióhoz.
