A Senators Trade Won’t Help This Team This Season

from Spector’s Blog at Fox Sports,
It’s understandable that Murray is shopping around but the bottom line is there’s no trade Murray can make that will save his team’s season.
Vermette, Fisher and Schubert aren’t going to attract the type of players Murray wants, and if he’s to be believed he’s not shopping Spezza.
Even if he were, Spezza’s expensive salary ($7 million per season) with a no-trade clause kicking in after next season significantly limits his market value. It’s not that teams aren’t interested, most just simply cannot afford to take him on their payrolls.
There’s even been some talk of getting Dany Heatley to waive his no-trade clause but unless Heatley requests a trade Murray won’t move him.
