from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun:
A couple of nights before the NHL draft in Vancouver last June, the Senators thought they were about to land a big one.
Then-Panthers GM Mike Keenan decided he couldn’t take it anymore, he didn’t want to deal with Roberto Luongo or his agent, Gilles Lupien; the time had come to move on.
Sources say Senators GM John Muckler believed he had made an offer the Panthers would accept, a package that may have included veteran defenceman Chris Phillips, forward Antoine Vermette and goalie Ray Emery in exchange for Luongo.
But, the word is, the Senators got into the game too late and, by that point, Keenan had already decided he was going to accept an offer he got on the eve of the draft that would send Luongo to the Canucks for defenceman Bryan Allen, goalie Alex Auld and winger Todd Bertuzzi.
