Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman casually dropped a hot piece of information in his latest 32 Thoughts write up. Friedman said one of the leading investors groups that had attempted to buy the Senators recently had the Hall-of-Famer listed as taking over behind the bench for the Ottawa Senators. That confirms rumours that were going around at the time.
Meanwhile, a Twitter account that leaked before anyone else that the Senators Shane Pinto was facing a huge suspension for breaking gambling protocols says the leading candidates to take over for D.J. Smith, who seems to be a pink slip waiting to happen, are Patrick Roy and Claude Julien.
