from Ian Mendes of TSN,
If another team wants to trade for an Ottawa Senators goaltender, they had better be prepared to take on an additional contract from a forward that Bryan Murray is trying to move as well.
Speaking to reporters in his final pre-draft availability on Thursday morning, the Senators general manager indicated that several teams have called about both Robin Lehner and Craig Anderson. And while the club is still not tipping its hand on which netminder is going to be moved, Murray did indicate that the goalie trade will likely include a player such as Colin Greening or David Legwand – veterans who likely won't have a role with the club next season.
"Well that's what I'm trying to do. To make sure that when we talk to teams about the goaltending that we are adding another piece to it and it is because of contract," Murray told TSN 1200. "We might take something a little less because of that, but we think that a couple of the guys that we are trying to move can play on other teams as well. We just happen to have a group of young guys now that have taken their spots."
