Eklund from HockeyBuzz.com is giving us some rumors about the Hawks possibly dealing with the Senators, and maybe the Lightning as well:
Only in this weird state of Leaf rebuilding could such a deal be even discussed in church vestibules, however there is word the Sens are still very interested in Kubina today. They had a strong interest in McCabe as well, but that possibility has faded completely I am told.
UPDATE 1:01: However another source is telling me that the Sens and Hawks are close on a deal
And later:
Tampa is still in discussions with Nashville and Chicago I am hearing regarding a d-man. One source said the Lightning are trying to figure a package for Seabrook.
Wow, I really don’t think I would be too happy if the Hawks dealt Seabrook. I can’t see anyone on the Tampa Bay roster that I would seriously consider taking in return for Brent. He’s become a huge part of this team’s young core and is turning into what I think will be a great young defenseman and getting rid of him seems to be counter-productive. My guess is that Dale Tallon would be looking for Martin St. Louis in return, who is a good offensive player, but I really wouldn’t even want him for Seabrook. The Hawks should hang on to him unless they get a deal that blows them away.
We’ll see what the Hawks are trying to get done with the Senators. There were rumors that they were maybe looking into Chris Neil, a tough winger who could fill the enforcer role for this team.
