Emery's time as a Senator is over

Ray Emery was an integral part of Ottawa's '07 cup run. Now only one year later, the Senators want nothing to do with the 25 year old goaltender. GM Bryan Murray is hoping that at least one team has some interest in his 2 year contract worth $6.75 million. Emery was a clear distraction to the team this year as his attitude changed when he lost the number one label that he thought he earned in last year's playoffs. His work ethic really dropped off and spread throughout the locker room taking a team that started off the season 15-2 and finished it 3-6-1 in the regular season and was quickly swept by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the postseason. Emery publically stated this week that he regretted his actions that he made after Martin Gerber replaced him as Ottawa's number 1 goalie. Too bad for Emery it's to late to stay a Senator or that might be a good thing, other than the '07 playoffs the Senators haven't done very much in the postseason.
