Teams calling the Senators about Michael Del Zotto
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The Ottawa Senators could move defenseman Michael Del Zotto at the trade deadline. He has another year left at $2 million.
Teams who are looking for depth on the blue line have called GM Pierre Dorion. Teams may want the Senators to retain salary or take back a contract.
Darren Dreger: There are definitely a couple of teams that are interested inDel Zotto.
Are teams interested in Shea Weber‘s cap hit?
Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman said that the Montreal Canadiens could move defenseman Shea Weber’s contract.
“A lot of the talk out of Montreal has been about defencemen who could be available, but there’s another one there too, and that is Shea Weber’s contract.”
“Weber, of course, is likely not going to play in the National Hockey League ever again. He’s got four years left after this year, the cap hit is $7.9 million, but the cash is $6 million total. And I wouldn’t be surprised if some teams who need either long-term injury room or want to get to the cap floor and aren’t looking to spend a tonne in the next couple of years take a look at that Weber contract. It’s a possible move.”
