Gerber, & Redden stay with the Senators

[maxfax]

Looks more & more likely that both these guys will be in Ottawa next season. Suprised that we are retaining Gerber especially with the salary he's on (Lot of wonga to potentially play as back-up all season)...but I guess the money involved may put a few teams off signing him.
Interesting to see we have tried to trade Wade Redden on 2 occasions. Not overly fussed if he stays or not to be honest.

I would have Redden on my panthers roster if they had any chance to pay his wages as for gerber, still not sure on him but he proved himself last season so we'll have to wait and see

By all accounts, Redden is only staying cos he invoked the no trade clause in his contract.

I like Redden, and it seems he gets bum deal in Ottawa as McCabe does with the Leafs.

I think the Sens will have a great season but I'm certain they'll lose some of their roster once 2007-08 comes to a close. Heatley and Spezza are both UFA amongst others.

We have now avoided (again) arbitration with Chris Kelly , who has signed a 1 year deal.
The general feeling in Ottawa is that the Sens will tie up Heatley to a BIG deal during the season. This is seen as a big reason why no major comings & goings from Ottawa (except Comrie - NYI, & Schaefer to Boston). They are saving huge chunks of the cap to put towards Heatley's deal...apparently

Spezza will have to be given a huge contract too. He lives in Toronto too...
