I told Bryan that our focus and our priority is on trying to get a deal done with Ottawa," said Evans. "Filip [Kuba] enjoys playing in Ottawa. He likes the city and he feels like the team should be better than it is right now and he's confident they can make the playoffs going forward. He wants to be part of it and that's what we're talking about right now."

-Will Kuba actually sign an extension in Ottawa? We'll see within a few days, hopefully. (From the Ottawa Sun.)

Yeah, I don’t see it happening. Given that, though, I seriously hope that he gets traded for some return; no sense losing him for nothing.

Good news then.

[Kuba] says he will have no issue waiving his no-trade clause by Wednesday’s trade deadline.

“That’s how you can put it. If we can’t get anything done here and something or a trade comes up, I would waive my no-trade clause,” Kuba confirmed on Monday afternoon.

“I spoke to Filip’s agent a number of times yesterday. I don’t know far we’ve gone – I don’t think very far,” said Murray, who admitted he is reluctant to hand out a long-term deal to Kuba at this point.
