"Twenty-seven shopping days to the NHL trade deadline.
The next time the Senators face the Bruins at TD Garden, it will be a day after the Feb. 27 deadline.
A lot will have happened by then. For the Senators, GM Bryan Murray will have decided if he's going to be a buyer. Much will depend on price tags.
The shopping is about to get serious. There's a belief that Toronto GM Brian Burke could strike as early as this week. If that's the case, he may be forced to pay a higher price than most, but he badly wants a forward."
