Jokenin for Tanguay? Sens After R.Blake?
Spector and Yahoo sports reports that there might be a potential trade between the Pathers and Flames before the deadline…
Also being reported from the Ottawa citizen is R.Blake being linked to a potential trade between the Sens and Kings…
Former GM of the Panthers and now head coach of the Flames Mike Keenan apparently wants the Finnish Captain on his squad to add more depth down the middle. Since the beginning of the season it has been said that Tanguay would not get along with Keenan and there was also that rumor of him being swapped for Kovalev earlier this season.
I actually like the idea of Jokenin being a Flame and Tanguay being a Panther. I believe the Flames would potentially give up more to get Jokinen but so far it is just a rumor.
The Sens are looking for a veteran blue-liner and Rob Blake is pretty much the only candidate on the trade block. Ottawa has the potential to make another run for the cup and Blake would like to win again. Why not waive the No-trade clause to go to Ottawa….
The question is for what?
The Sens need to re-sign Mezaros and Wade Redden is a free agent July 1rst. Maybe the Sens are willing to part with Redden for Blake and will also get the cap room to sign Mezaros? Makes sense….I guess? Redden would need to waive his No-trade clause but that is very unlikely because he is on a squad that can win and why would he want to go to L.A. That being said Redden also said he would take a pay cut to stay in Ottawa but do they still want him?
Big Dilemma for Ottawa if they want to bring someone in!
