Trade Talk

There is a word going around that a couple of players won't be a part of the Senators after Tuesday, the trade deadline, here's the scoop of whats going on with Antoine Vermette and Ray Emery:

Antoine Vermette #20

Left Wing
Age: 25
07-08 Salary: $1.075M

The Skinny: If the Senators get that high-profile rental player for the postseason, Vermette will be a heart-breaker to let go as part of the deal. He has shown great offensive instincts and at age 25 he still has plenty of time to mature and perfect his game. But he'll also become a restricted free agent in July. With Ottawa picking up Cory Stillman and Mike Commodore, the likelihood of Vermette moving is slim. - TSN



Ray Emery #1

Goaltender
Age: 25
07-08 Salary: $$3.167M

The Skinny: After another late practice last month, it looked like Emery's days with the Senators were numbered. That, coupled with other recent problems had GM Bryan Murray thinking trade, but the team appears to be moving forward with both Emery and Gerber platooning in goal. Emery, who signed a three-year, $9.5-million US contract in the summer, is a longshot at best to go. - TSN
