Early contract/trade brewings

See, obsessively refreshing TSN (content minus editorial stolen from TSN.com).

The Ottawa Senators were the first team out of the gate on Deadline Day, trading winger Antoine Vermette to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for goaltender Pascal Leclaire and a second-round draft pick.

This makes me sad. I don't like the Sens and like Pascal.

In other developments:

- The Senators agreed to a three-year contract worth $3.7 million a season with defenceman Filip Kuba, taking him off the market.


This might turn out to be a very wise move for the leafs.

- Senators GM Bryan Murray has advised Chris Neil's agent Todd Reynolds that he has a deal in place to trade Neil if he is unable to make the fit to keep him.

I'd insert a joke here but that's sorta like kicking a puppy.


- The Toronto Maple Leafs have broken off talks with centre Dominic Moore and will try to trade him.


I have a pal that may like this news lots!

- The Buffalo Sabres have finalized a two-year extension at $4.5 million per season to keep forward Tim Connolly in Buffalo.

Wow that seems like a lot for the fragile one.
