there is plenty of players that they can pick up....but i dont know when his contract expires

the year he signed his current contract, the guys on the radio said to 'get ready for 5 more years of mediocrity,' as long as alfredson was on the team (though it was a station out of toronto, and you know how they feel about ottawa ...)

Alfreddson is still an incredible talent, I think he needs a change of scenery from the spotlight in Ottawa to rejuvenate his game. Wouldnt be a bit surprised if the Sens arent shopping him for a quality defenseman. Seems he is burnt out from all the playoff dissapointment and the intense media that likes to lay a fair share of blame on him. Best guess is he gets shipped to a team from the west and rebounds with the same ability fans have grown to enjoy in the past.

I think Alfie is emotionally drained from all the playoff disappointments the Sens have suffered. No longer having the veteran presence of Chara, Havlat, Hasek & Smolinski around, the burden on his shoulders is starting to wear on him. He is also dealing with being a father to an infant at home, so there could be extra pressure off the ice that is affecting his play.

Alfredsson is still dangerous, but I think all of his injuries over the years are beginning to catch up with him. He's not as aggressive as he used to be when he broke into the league.

Compared to last year i guess......
There's not really any insight i can give
but with players like Spezza going into his prime, it shouldnt be a problem
