The Ottawa Senators have acquired Kyle Turris from the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for a second round pick and David Rundblad.
That's a high price to pay for Turris, who has a lot of potential, but has yet to live up to it. In some ways, this feels similar to their acquisition of Nikita Filatov, only they didn't pay nearly as much to pry Filatov away from the Columbus Blue Jackets. Turris will be under a lot of pressure to perform and while the change of scenery might do him a lot of good, we can't recommend picking up Turris at this time. Keep a close eye on him to see what he does with the Senators and what line he ends up on, but wait for him to prove himself before grabbing him in single season leagues.
