yeah Havlat will be traded and have a new team at some point this season, because he refuses to sign anything longer than a 1 year contract with Ottawa. Havlat is a phenominal talent, but he is injury prone and has a terrible attitude...money comes before the team with this guy. I love having his skill on the team but I hate his tantrums which he seems to throw every other year.........If Ottawa can get a comprable player in return for him or free up some cap space to sign a big name I would be all for it. As for the Gagne trade idea......if the flyers walk away from the arbitrators decision, I'm almost positive it makes Gagne a free agent (because he would not have a contract with a team-much like if a qualifying offer is rejected or experies on an RFA) and then you don't have to trade for him.
You couldn't trade Vrada cause he isn't on the Sens any more......they haven't resigned him as of yet...and probably won't.......AND there is no way I would trade Schaefer or Vermette......Vermette is going to be something special and we got a good glimpse of that this year......as for Schaefer, he and Fisher are our best grinders who have offensive skill and we can't afford to lose guys like that...in fact we need more like that.
