That's the position I want to upgrade in order to be ready to compete in the playoffs.
I am set in goal and at defense, wouldn't mind adding a waiver exempt C now that Zetterberg got concussed by the gentleman named Jamie Benn, but that's not the priority.
I will also consider depth W's especially if waiver exempt.
Ideally I'd be adding one winger without losing any, but with Bob getting closer to a return the cap probably won't allow me that without making another deal.
So, I might move in the deal/s at least one of these, for an upgrade or cap saving:
Bergenheim
King
Gerbe
Depending on the magnitude of the player/s coming back, I'm going to make available different levels of assets.
- as top pick, NSH 1st 2016.
- as top prospect, this guy:

Among other assets available:
- Mikael Wikstrand, Sens' D prospect.
From today Friedman's 30 thoughts:
- Raphael Diaz26. Ottawa has eight defensemen under contract for next season, and it will be interesting to see how Mikael Wikstrand figures into their plans. The Swedish defender, a seventh-round pick in 2012, developed well and plans to be in North America. He’ll be 22 in November, and should get a good look in training camp. It’s no secret the Senators have looked at moving a defenceman, and he’s another reason they wouldn’t mind doing so.
Playing regularly for the Flames, currently not bringing much more than GP at a cheap price, but proved in the past he can contribute BBKL stats in the right role. An injury to Wideman is probably all it would take for him to flourish in CGY.
- Cameron Schilling
Waiver exempt D playing with the Caps.
- picks 2016Defenseman Cameron Schilling will make his second straight start Wednesday night when the Washington Capitals aim for a season sweep over the Pittsburgh Penguins...
The first move comes as no particular surprise, given that Schilling practiced Tuesday on the third blue-line pair beside Mike Green and skated there again the following morning.
That leaves defenseman Jack Hillen, also a left-handed shot, scratched for the second straight game.
and more.
PMs, thanks.
