That calder pick is circumstantial though. I think Helm might pull it off if he plays a 2nd or 3rd line role in Detroit.

Jason Smith is calling it a career.

The 35-year-old defenceman has called a news conference for 10 a.m. with team general manager Bryan Murray this morning at Scotiabank Place where he’s expected to announce his retirement after an NHL career that has spanned 17 years.

Smith was signed as an unrestricted free agent to a two-year contract last summer. The decision by Smith will allow Murray and the Senators to wipe his $2.6 million salary off their cap this year, which will give the club some flexibility because they were approximately $1.3 million over the NHL salary cap.

The decision by Smith doesn’t come as a major surprise. He had only a limited role last season and didn’t finish the year because of an injury. It also gives Murray room to play if the club is able to find a deal for winger Dany Heatley.

Is LeVarius Washington going to College State U?

That's a shame. Hopefully he stays on with the Sens as a coach - or goes to another team to try to win a Cup.

Cap problems instantly solved though...with room.

Is it possible that we hear about Comrie or Sykora signing soon?

Fixed.

Jesus I hope not, I dont want either of those plugs. Rather see a guy like Regin get a real shot. Same with Smith who Murray said is ready to be an NHL player this season.

Any new info? Is this injury related, or does he feel it's time? His leadership will certainly be missed.

I think The Sens are going to start to build from within here. You may see, 2 or even 3 rookies this year in the lineup, potentially 4 with injuries.

Huh...I never thought of that. That's VERY possible that we hear about Sykora giving how much kicking of the tires have apparently gone on.

Although I agree to a degree, Sykora's a nice player with a sniping upside and seems to have a good attitude. I would love to have Regin step in, but I'd also like to have options.
