"Daniel Alfredsson isn't ready to hang up his blades.

The Senators captain told commissioner Gary Bettman on his radio show Thursday night that if he feels as healthy at the end of the season as he does right now, he'll be back to play out the final year of his contract.

"The way this season is going, if I'm still healthy after this season, I'm hoping I can go one more," said Alfredsson. "This year has been so good. If we can make the playoffs, that would almost be a dream come true.""
