You don't have to like it, but it happens for a reason.  I didn't see the comments made by Phaneuf/Wilson, but if they're acting confused about the whole affair, they're intentionally playing dumb.  It's gamesmanship.

They can whine about it, but every team does it.

Yeah, pretty much.  I don't think much was said, certainly not anything that needed responding to by Konopka.

In his defence, that article is by Don Brennan.  This is the guy that asked Matt Carkner if he felt responsible for Derek Boogaard's death.  I doubt that statement came unprompted.

Wow, yikes.
 
Zonopka is a bit of a meatball and yeah in terms of enforcing Carkner is still the man. Zonopka holds on for the ride.
 
Cheapseats: Goodbye Nikita, work harder
By Don Brennan ,Ottawa Sun

?Hey Nikita is it cold in your little corner of the world??

? Elton John

Nikita Filatov?s little corner of the world is now in Binghamton, N.Y.

And unless he changes his ways, it could be a very frigid winter on the buses for the 21-year-old underachiever.

Filatov was demoted to the AHL?s B-Sens almost quicker than you can Google the lyrics of an old song, just a couple of hours after coach Paul MacLean declared him a healthy scratch for the second game in a row Thursday vs. the Colorado Avalanche.

In Bingo, it is hoped, he?ll find both his scoring touch and a level of compete that satisfies the Senators.

Filatov is a ?scorer? who has yet to score for the organization. With prime time, he had three assists in six pre-season games and one in the first two of the regular season. More worrisome than his inability to bulge twine is that Filatov didn?t appear desperate enough to hold on to a job that was all but given to him at camp.

The Senators want the Russian winger to start battling a little harder for pucks.

?He wasn?t playing and the indication from the coaches was that he wasn?t going to be playing over the weekend,? said GM Bryan Murray, who could easily demote Filatov because he is on a two-way contract. ?He?s a young player, he has to play. If he?s going to be a player on our team, we want him to be a Top 6 forward. Skill level indicates that?s what he should be....MORE

In Konopka's defence he is playing through a back injury. He may not be the best fighter in the league but he sticks up for teammates and he will fight anybody. He is fearless.

Ach, that's terrible RT @HowlingsToday Wade Redden broke his leg and is out 4-6 weeks.

I'm not sure SP would agree that it's terrible though.
 
Ottawa GM, "You want Filatov?"
Other GM, "Yeah either he's included or there's no deal."
Ottawa GM, "Hmmm, well okay how about this... you let us drop his stock
some first, so fans won't riot when we end up trading him."
Other GM, "Okay, but you better hurry or I'll consider the other offer."
