Matt Carkner Called Up From Binghamton

Could this mean a trade of Christoff Schubert in imminent? They both play a similar role with Carkner being the more physical of the two. It is hard to see another reason to call him up besides replacement of a recently traded player. There must be a forward coming back in the prospective deal hence the need to bring up a defenceman from the farm to fill in for Schubert. Stay tuned.
In other news, rumours continue to swirl that coach Craig Hartsburg is about to be replaced by Pat Quinn. Quinn and Sens' owner Eugene Melnyk were seen chumming it up during the World Junior Tournament with Bob Nicholson of Hockey Canada never far behind. Perhaps Nicholson steps in with the Sens to guide them through a youth movement with a very deep draft coming up. Does anyone know young talent more than Bob? I doubt it.
