Philly/Ottawa trade partners?

According to Marty York, the Flyers and Senators have been discussing about the possibility of sending Joni Pitkanen to Ottawa. Rumours are rampant about Pitkanen being dealt, however sources in Philly are saying that Pitkanen is one of the "untouchables" and GM Paul Holmgren is looking to build around the young defenseman.

John LeClair is still looking for a team to join. After being released outright by the Pittsburgh Penguins, LeClair is an unrestricted free agent. Teams that are gearing for the playoffs can sign him to a cheap contract. Ottawa, Vancouver and Dallas have shown some interest in his services.

Several sources have indicated that Atlanta may pull off a trade this week.
