Rumor has it the Senators traded Neil to the Sharks, but I can’t seem to find any info that confirms this supposition. If they didn’t acquire him, it’d be a shame because he’s exactly what they need. WANT WANT WANT!!!
Update 9pm PT: According to Sens GM Bryan Murray, he had some interest in Neil and even an offer on the table as late as last night, but a deal never materialized. Chris Neil will remain an Ottawa Senator this season as he heads for Unrestricted Free Agency. Bah!
The Sharks ended up acquiring Travis Moen and Kent Huskins from the Ducks for a couple prospects a conditional draft pick. Moen and Huskins and their Stanley Cup rings should be able to contribute some grit to the Sharks’ lineup.
