Man, that is an extremely depressing sight. I think it's safe to say you can take heatley's name off there.
I thought things were looking up, with (hopefully) a couple blue-chippers coming back for heatley, kovalev coming to town, cowen, karlsson bulking up a bit, wiercioch progressing rapidly. But when I see the same collection of 4th-7th defencemen, I realize that we have a long way to go even to be in the running to make the playoffs. Hopefully it's not another year of limbo.

The Latest Buzz on the Sens
Dany Heatley- It's down to the Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Wild, and San Jose Sharks. Expect the Wild to take their offer up a notch
Chris Kelly- The Detroit Red Wings want him but Bryan Murray wants to see the market for Kelly first, than decide on his future. The Florida Panthers have also expressed interest for him. If Heatley stays, Kelly is gone
Alexandre Picard- The Washington Capitals have inquired about Picard, who would look good next to Mike Green.
Jason Smith- The Oilers will take him IF he's packaged with Heatley. He can prove to be a great warrior and leader in the locker room.
