Trade rumors
Spector: Could Martin Havlat's recent suspension be his ticket out of Ottawa?
That's the suggestion recently made by Sportsnet hockey commentators Bill Watters and Nick Kypreos, who claimed Thursday night that Havlat's dirty play and immaturity may be testing the patience of Senators management and head coach Bryan Murray.
Since Havlat's suspension began there's been nothing from the Senators or the Ottawa media to indicate he might be on the outs. Given his obvious offensive skills and the club's reputation for lacking toughness it may be premature to claim the Senators will be shopping him.
That being said, the club can ill afford losing him to suspensions and if this trend continues it could lead to potential problems down the road.
