from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, While Murray has been doing a lot of talking, indications are he’s not being offered a whole lot in return for the likes of Christoph Schubert and Antoine Vermette. Sources say several teams—including Florida, Boston, Chicago, Columbus, Los Angeles, Minnesota, St. Louis, Anaheim and Vancouver—are looking for blueliners. Schubert is an attractive commodity, but...

OTTAWA, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Alex Tanguay scored the game-winning goal in the fourth round of the shootout Thursday, giving the Montreal Canadiens a 3-2 decision over Ottawa. After each side managed one goal during the shootout's first three rounds, Ottawa's Antoine Vermette shot wide against Carey Price. Tanguay then carried the puck on his backhand side all the way to the goal and was able to slip it...

Combine TSN’s Darren Dreger and the Ottawa Sun’s Bruce Garrioch and what ultimately comes out of the wash is a trade rumor that flips Antoine Vermette and Matias Ohlund. Hate the hockey media? Hire Alex Edler for your next attack. With a flu-symptom-inspired quarantine, he needs to fly commercial plus get his own $500 a night hotel room upon arrival, but he’s worth it. Surrounded by reporters in NYC...

(Photo: Andre Ringuette/NHLI via Getty Images) I return from my mini-hiatus with some good news and some bad news. The good news is that Antoine Vermette managed to avoid his arbitration hearing today by signing an 11th-hour deal with the Senators. Vermette's new contract is two-years and $5.525 million which comes to just over $2.5 million a year. A two year deal seems like a very fair term as Vermette...

from Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun, Unless a deal was reached late last night or one gets struck some time this morning—very much a possibility, either way—Antoine Vermette (and/or agent Allan Walsh) will today stand before an arbitrator opposite Senators GM Bryan Murray (and/or another team representative) as both sides pitch their case in a contract dispute over the worth of the 26-year-old forward....

from Allen Panzeri of the Ottawa Citizen, The Ottawa Senators and Antoine Vermette are one day away from having their differences over a new contract resolved for them. Unless they come to an agreement on their own before tomorrow’s arbitration hearing in Toronto, they’ll present their arguments and then nervously wait for the arbitrator’s decision. If the Senators don’t like the decison, they can...

From Bruce Garrioch at the Ottawa Sun, That means Ottawa only has $9.8 million left to sign winger Antoine Vermette and defenceman Andrej Meszaros while it searches for a second-line winger and a puck-moving defenceman. The Senators usually like to keep $1 million for injuries or a possible move at the trade deadline, so Murray is in a bit of a pickle as he awaits Vermette’s arbitration case. A league...
