The Senators will hit the quarter-mark of the season Saturday with the all-important U.S. Thanksgiving just around the corner.
Bryan Murray is hoping some of the talk will then turn to action.
The Senators GM has been busy working the phones trying to find help for his struggling club and it's believed the priority is the blueline.
While the club kicked tires on Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Duchene on the weekend, those talks have quieted because GM Joe Sakic likely isn't ready to make that move and as noted by the Ottawa Sun on Sunday, the Senators are one of several teams in the league looking for a defenceman.
