Just a follow up to my cap situation post. When I recently asked Bryan Murray about the tight situation the GM responded with

"We are going to have to do one or two moves on the trade market....There are some people outside the organization we will look at that we hope to make some kind of deal to get them to Ottawa.....We've got a couple of extra forwards and a defenseman or two that might get us soemthing a little different."

When asked about when he'd like to know where he stands with Volchenkov, Murray said he'd like to know by the middle of June, a week before the draft.

Meanwhile, while being interviewed on Toronto radio today Murray was more firm in where he stood with Jason Spezza, saying barring something drastic, number 19 will be back as the team's number one centre in the fall.
