Dany Heatley Is Not A Dallas Star...

... but Alex Auld is. The Senators apparently didn't see a need this season for a quality backup making only $1 million who posted a 2.47 GAA with .911SV% and 16 wins last season. Granted it was in 43 games but it was for the bag of suck that was your 2008-2009 Ottawa Senators. While I'm not entirely surpised by this move I thought perhaps if/when this move was made it might garner a bit more in return than a sixth round pick.Definetly a risky move on the Sens part in my humble opinion. Clearly the Sens moved Vermette near the deadline in order to acquire goaltender of the future, Pascal LeClaire. However with the injury questions surrounding LeClaire as well as the fact that he will be performing with a non-Hitchcockian system in front of him it's a big gamble if LeClaire stumbles leaving Brian Elliott as the backup. While I think this move was made more than anything to get a bit of cap relief (although Elliott is an RFA still to be signed so the savings might be moot...
