At one point on Friday there was a chance that brothers Zbynek and Milan Michalek would be playing together in Ottawa.
The Sens were discussing a trade with the Penguins for Zybynek but did not get the deal they wanted. "He [Penguins' GM Ray Shero] told me what the contract was and what he was going to do, and I said, 'That's great, but unless you take an equal contract back, I can't do it,' said Ottawa GM Bryan Murray. Zybenek was then traded to the Coyotes.There will be no Staal-like reunion for the Michalek brothers, at least for now.
