TORONTO - A stretch of six wins in eight games has the Ottawa Senators achingly close to a playoff spot.

Kuechly Panthers Jersey . And this recent run of success also has general
manager Bryan Murray re-thinking his plans for the near future with the March 5
trade deadline not too far away. Murray, who on Monday agreed to a contract
extension through the 2015-16 season, said his team probably needs another piece
— most likely a forward — to make a run this spring. Through Sundays games, the
Senators sat two points back of the Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings,
who hold the Eastern Conferences two wild-card spots. "Just watching the
progress in the last month and a little bit, I think that the objective now is
certainly more than it was a month before," Murray said on a conference call.
"We are available to make a deal." As an example, Murray pointed to the July 5
trade with the Anaheim Ducks that landed the Senators Bobby Ryan. Ottawa gave up
young forward Jakob Silfverberg and prospect Stefan Noesen to get the winger who
filled a void left by Daniel Alfredssons departure. Again, the Senators would be
willing to trade from their position of youth in the organization. "We do have a
number of players that probably are deserving of playing some games or playing
in the NHL that may not get a chance because of our numbers up here that we
would talk to teams about for a more veteran-type player," Murray said. Earlier
in the season, Murray expressed a desire to upgrade his teams mobility on the
blue-line and talked to "a number of teams" about a puck-moving defenceman. That
need has been eased by the recall of 20-year-old rookie Cody Ceci, who has been
a mainstay since making his debut in mid-December. "Hes young, but we cant get
him out of the lineup now that weve brought him up from Binghamton," Murray
said. "Hes been real good for us, real solid for us." Like a lot of teams,
Murray said the Senators could use a forward who could help in the scoring
department or add a physical element. "Either-or, and I think that would address
a need on our hockey team.," he said. Perhaps physicality and defensive
responsibility should be priorities. The Senators have given up 146 goals in 46
games, which is third-worst in the league. No matter the area of improvement,
Murray has limits on how much hell draw from Ottawas prospect pool. Blue-chip
centre Curtis Lazar, last years first-round pick, had three goals and four
assists for Canada during the world junior championship and is, at least for
now, considered untouchable. "Were not moving Curtis Lazar, I can tell you at
this point in time," Murray said. "We would make the right common-sense trades
if there was something there without robbing what would be our future." The
Senators scouting staff is expected to meet soon to draw up a list of
trade-deadline targets. "We hope to have kind of an objective by the trading
deadline, by the Olympic break, whatever the case may be, and then well see
where we go," Murray said. The playoffs appear to be back as the most immediate
goal. Murray reiterated that "there are no guarantees in this business," and
owner Eugene Melnyk understands that specifically applies to the post-season.
"Once the playoffs start, as we all know, anything goes," Melnyk said. "We have
to get there first, and then after that, we just cross our fingers and hope for
the best." — Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at @SWhyno.
