Spector: Speculation the Ottawa Senators may shop Martin Havlat's continued into this past weekend, as there was some talk that Edmonton Oilers general manager Kevin Lowe supposedly contacted Sens GM John Muckler to inquire into Havlat's availability.
But according to a report in Sunday's Ottawa Sun, Havlat isn't available. Muckler supposedly isn't pleased with Havlat for earning a five-game suspension for kicking Boston Bruins defenseman Hal Gill, but has no plans to trade him.
Given the fast start of his club, it's not surprising that Muckler has no desire to trade Havlat or any other key players on this roster. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
