Alfredsson to be traded. Maybe LA..maybe not

Senators GM John Muckler squashed a rumour -- reported first on a Montreal radio station this morning -- just minutes ago by telling the Sun he won't be dealing the club's captain to the Los Angeles Kings.
"There is absolutely no truth to that rumour," said Muckler.
While the report indicated four Los Angeles scouts were at Tuesday's Senators-Habs game in Montreal -- including former GM Dave Taylor -- to scout Alfredsson, the captain hadn't heard anything about it when approached by the Sun today.
"I don't know anything," said Alfredsson. "I guess we'll see what happens."
I would say he's on his way out. It should be noted that Muckler is a fading & senile coot. I would take nothing he says at face value. The Sens look absolutely brutal in the scoring department. I'm not sure that trading Alfredsson will cure that, but that's their problem.
I think Danny-Boy is a good pick up for whoever gets him.
