Big Trade!

As rumored Ottawa has gotten rid of Martin Gerber. Montreal was the second party in the trade and it was goalie-for-goalie. Jaroslav Halak went to Ottawa in trade for Gerber, straight up with no other players or draft picks in the deal. Halak is a hybrid goalie that filled in for an injured Huet last year for 16 games. He won 10 of them recording 2 shutouts. This was his first time on NHL ice. Halak will fight with Andy Chiodo to play back-up for Emery, Halak will arrive in Ottawa this week along with Chiodo who is expected to arrive the 16th. Ottawa cleared up some cap room and now have $4.25 million of space.

Gerber played his last Senators games last week, losing both and giving up a total of 8 goals.

Ottawa's first game after the trade is against Montreal, on the 18th. It would be very interesting to see if Ottawa would start Halak against his former team and see if he can perform up to Ottawa's standards.

Trade Overview:

To Ottawa:
G Jaroslav Halak

To Montreal:
G Martin Gerber

Injury Report

Dean McAmmond - Fractured Jaw

Date of Return: December 10-20, 2007

Dean McAmmond was injured in a game against the Florida Panthers on October 20th. He was hip-checked and while falling to the ice he landed on his jaw, fracturing it. McAmmond had put up 2 points so far this season, 1 goal and 1 assist. He has been replaced by Niko Dimitrakos who put up an assist in his first game.

Ottawa has also called up Josh Hennessy from Binghamton, he will replace Dimitrakos if he were to stutter in his upcoming 2 months of play.

Injury Report

Mike Fisher - Injured Ankle

Date of Return: Noveber 17, 2007

Mike Fisher was injurned in Ottawa's 3-1 win against Montreal on November 10th. Sean Donovan will move onto the second line, Kelly will move onto the third and McGrattan will be dressed to play on the 4th line. Fisher will only be injured for 1 game, but Ottawa may choose to keep him out of the line-up for 2 or 3 just to be safe.
