Division: Senators' Emery May Be Shopped

Although Emery helped lead the Ottawa Senators to the Stanley Cup Finals last year, don't expect the teams to be lining up for offers. There have been many discoveries recently that have led to the devaluing of the once coveted Ray Emery. In the off-season he signed a hefty multi-year deal which would keep him in Ottawa for the foreseeable future. That, along with his recent struggles to stay healthy as well as consistent makes Emery's fate look fairly ugly. On top of that, it was reported that the 25 year-old exploded during practice this passed Thursday. Apparently he was held from practice for arriving late. Emery attempted to explain his childish actions to his teammates today, stating that his lack of motivation on the ice and playing time led him to display his emotions on the forefront. Now, the Senators still have Martin Gerber to carry the load but he has had his own consistency issues dating back to his days with Carolina. This leaves the Senators in another tough situation for the off-season due to the free agency of many of their key players. Antoine Vermette and Wade Redden will both be UFAs this upcoming summer and they will find it difficult to keep these key pieces to the puzzle with their current goaltending duo situation.
