Off-season
On June 5, it was reported that Wade Redden would not sign a $3.5 million per year contract with the Senators. He instead became an Unrestricted Free Agent on July 1 and signed a six-year, $39M contract with the New York Rangers.[2] On Friday, June 13, 2008, the Senators named Craig Hartsburg, coach of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, the new head coach after interviewing Bob Hartley and Peter DeBoer as candidates. Hartsburg signed a three-year agreement with the Senators.[3]
On June 20, the day of the NHL Entry Draft, the Senators placed Ray Emery on waivers and re-signed Chris Kelly to a 4-year, $8.5-million contract.[4] At the draft, the Senators selected Erik Karlsson with their first-round pick (15th overall) and proceeded to select Patrick Wiercioch (42 overall), Zack Smith (79 overall), Andre Petersson (109 overall), Derek Grant (119 overall), Mark Borowiecki (139 overall), and Emil Sandin (199 overall).
On July 1, the Ottawa Senators announced that they have signed goaltender Alex Auld to a two-year contract worth $1 million per season. Auld is expected to serve as a backup to Martin Gerber for the '08-'09 season.
On July 2, the Ottawa Senators announced that they have re-signed forward Shean Donovan to a two-year contract at $625,000 per season. The Sens also announced that they have signed forward Jarkko Ruutu to a 3-year contract worth $1.3 million per season.
On July 5, the Ottawa Senators announced that Antoine Vermette had elected to take the club to salary arbitration.
On July 8, the Senators announced that they had signed defenceman Jason Smith to a two-year, $5.2M contract.[5]
Pre-season
On September 24, the Senators will play a pre-season exhibition game in Frolunda, Sweden against the Frolunda HC team[1] which Ottawa captain Daniel Alfredsson played for before joining the NHL and during the lockout. This will be the Senators' first-ever game in Europe.
