BREAKING NEWS
Chris Phillips, lifetime Senator and former #1 overall pick, has agreed to waive his no-trade clause, being sent to the Red Wings, for what he hopes will be a long and fruitful playoff run. He also notes that the fact that Detroit is so close to his home helped him in the decision to waive.
In exchange, the Senators receive Detroit's first round pick last year (Riley Sheahan) as well as their first round pick in 2012. "I think it's safe to state at this point that we are completely committed to the rebuilding process," said Ottawa's GM. "We wish Chris all the best, and hope he will consider returning to the city that embraced him most of his career in the off-season... hypothetically. This isn't tampering. I swear."
Ottawa had allegedly received a lot of interest for Phillips from a few teams, and, though they had a deal worked out in principle with another team, Detroit's offer was too substantial to turn down. "We feel we're getting a real difference-maker in Riley Sheahan, and stockpiling 1st round picks is absolutely a goal of ours, which we feel we're accomplishing quite well."

Rangers swap forwards; add Nikolai Zherdev
The Sabres have acquired enigmatic RWer Nikolai Zherdev from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for RWer Drew Stafford and young Dman Chris Butler. GM Steve Mastro spoke to the media, explaining his motivation in this trade:
"We believe Mr. Zherdev has a ton of untapped abilities, and that he will fit into our system more so than Drew, who we wish the best of in Philly."
GMSM also acquired injured LW/C Vaclav Prospal from New York in exchange for Nathan Gerbe.
Mastro expressed vehemently that he was not done talking about potential deals yet. We will keep you tuned into that, as we come to an end here at TSN.
