apparently after the Arizona game he was supposed to meet some fans for the Hockey Fights Cancer night, but he bailed and another player had to fill in

Please. You can't pick and choose the rumours you believe only when they suit your particular view of a player.

Not a rumor.

If he ditched a single event after a single game, what's the big deal? And he's "too focused on car racing"? Like, Diddle off with that Dung.

No urgency for these guys to give that little extra it takes to win. That said they're athletes and athletes hate losing. So the above post about car racing etc I don't think is warranted. Condon may have been a flash (see Hammond) and has been proven to crumble under pressure (see tenure in Montreal). Anderson simply put is well past his prime. But the problem isn't goaltending.
But the team sucks. Goalies out. Or forwards to goalies. However you want to see it. Too many old slow players well past their prime. Burrows could very well be the worst player in the NHL. Dorion rushed to extend players that were undeserving of the major contracts they were given. Phaneuf and Ryan contracts are crippling the team disabling them to sign good players. If we didn't have Phaneuf we would have Turris.
The season is lost. Best thing the Sens can do is try to offload some contracts without destroying the future. Ie: Smith, Ceci, Anderson, Phaneuf if you can. Move Ryan to LTIR so he can fix his fingers for good, White can play in his place, and the Euge can recoup some money. If Karl indicates he doesn't want to be here trade him. Re-sign Stone and Duchene, and build around them, Chabot and the prospects coming in.

Probably not. Turris was asking for far too much. We couldn't sign him regardless of Phaneuf.
I also wouldn't trade Smith. Great contract IMO.

$6M a year isn't too much. It's fair market value for a good 2nd line center. Remember, Brass has a cap hit of $5M on a front-ended contract that was signed many years ago. Adjusted for present value relative to the cap hit, $6M for a 2nd line center isn't bad now, and in 2-3 years will be a really affordable deal.
Smith doesn't have a bad contract, I agree, but the Euge is going to want to trim salary. Here's Dorion's problem:
Duchene isn't going anywhere
Stone will be re-signed
Brassard is a great value contract and won't be traded (right now)
Hoffman is also good value and probably shouldn't be traded (right now)
Ryan is unmoveable
Pageau is a fan favourite (but could be moved)
Burrows is untradeable. Worst player in the NHL
Pyatt and Thompson are low cost contracts. Could be moved but doesn't hurt to keep them
Dumont is a plug. Speaks volumes to Dorion's intelligence
Smith has a good contract but long-term we may not need him
Karlsson trade if he doesn't want to be here
Phaneuf is untradeable unless you take bad salaries back (Seabrook, Moulson?)
Ceci's value is pretty low right now, if not rock bottom. You essentially trade him so the fan base doesn't lose their $hit when the Sens re-sign him
Claesson is underperforming but can be moved
Harpur is underperforming but can be moved
Wideman probably doesn't get re-signed. Injured
Oduya better get traded or else
Boro is good value for 5-7 dman (I suppose)
Anderson is underperforming and overpaid. Contract is terrible.
Condon is underperforming and overpaid. Contract is terrible.
Not a lot of options for Dorion unless you start trading with other sellers to try and add pieces moving forward. But no other 'seller' wants our crap.
