Heres hoping Butler does well there.

Good news from the Sens about our favourite captain. "Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk and general manager Bryan Murray announced today that team captain Daniel Alfredsson has announced his intentions to return for his 17th National Hockey League season in 2012-13."

I know its not about the Sens, but who doesn't like making fun of the leafs and their fans?

;) ... Remind you of anyone?

Per TSN's Bob McKenzie, the Ottawa Senators have traded Nick Foligno to the Columbus Blue Jackets for defenceman Marc Methot. Methot, 6'3" and 225 lbs, is an Ottawa native who has drafted 168th in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. He has spent his entire career with Columbus.

Pierre LeBrun: "Am told both Ontario teams, Ottawa and Toronto, are among teams on Justin Schultz's negotiating list..." Darren Dreger reports that the teams known to be in the running for the highly sought after defenseman are Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto, Edmonton, and the New York Rangers.

Great rundown of the draft with Tim Murray. Among the revelations is that the Sens had Ceci rated in their top 5.

Spezza vs Skinner in play-of-the-year-competition. Vote Spezza imo.

Regin resigned - 1 year, 1 way.
