Adam Vingan: Nashville Predators GM David Poile on 102.5 The Game on defenseman Ryan Ellis who they still haven’t signed to a contract extension yet: “Just consistent and continual conversations. Ryan just got married on Saturday. … We’d really like to give him a gift.”
Adam Vingan: Poile commented on defensive prospect Dante Fabbro’s future: We’re on the same page talking to Dante ourselves… His development is on track and I hope he’s a Predator soon after the Boston University season is over in February or March.

Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The Ottawa Senators and Mark recently agreed on a one-year deal that would see him become a UFA after this season, but he’s stated there is still plenty of time to work out a long-term deal.
