The Senators also have to decide what to do with winger Colin Greening and forward David Legwand. Greening has two years left on his contract at $2.65 million and the Senators have held talks with the teams about the possibility of making a deal but may have to pick up part of the salary to make that happen.
As for Legwand, he has a year left at $3 million and should be able to help somebody. He didnt play regularly at the end of the season but theres a strong possibility he could be moved to a team looking for a veteran that can still chip in or they need the cap hit to get to the salary floor.
