Senators Still Paying For Former Goalie Shipped to Rangers

Ottawa is continuing to subsidize a goaltender's contract even after trading him away, a financial reality that speaks to the constraints teams face when moving expensive assets. The Rangers are getting a veteran netminder at a discount thanks to the Senators' willingness to retain salary, a move that could prove crucial if New York needs depth between the pipes. This deal is a reminder that not all trades are created equal - sometimes the team giving up the player still has skin in the game.
