Chris Kelly to be traded?

I am hearing rumblings of a deal between the Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings is brewing. Some names I've heard is Chris Neil and Chris Kelly. Detroit currently sits last in the NHL in Penalty Killing percentage and could use Kelly. From what I've heard, a bona-fide prospect is on his way to Ottawa in return.

Columbus management was spotted at Scotiabank Place last night to take in the Leafs/Sens tilt. Speculation there is that the Blue Jackets are also interested in Chris Kelly with Bryan Murray looking at Jared Boll as a return. This could make sense as Murray plans on trading Chris Neil and Boll is showing to be a suitable replacement.

Vancouver is apparently interested in Antoine Vermette to boost their penalty kill and provide some secondary scoring with Kevin Bieksa being mentionned as a return.
