With Alexei Yashin set to become a restricted free agent July 1, the Ottawa Senators finally pulled the plug on the relationship with their star center.
The Senators traded Yashin to the New York Islanders on Saturday in exchange for forward Bill Muckalt, defenseman Zdeno Chara and the No. 2 overall pick in the NHL entry draft.
According to reports, the Senators were entertaining offers from as many as seven teams prior to the draft today and Sunday in Sunrise, Fla.
Yashin, 27, made $3.6 million last year, but was seeking a healthy raise for next season. It's believed he would like close to the $8 million to $10 million per year most of the top players in the NHL are making.
Yashin was booed by fans, at the Corel Centre and at rinks on the road this season for his decision last season not to honor his contract in a bid for a raise or a trade.
He was forced to return and honor the last year of the deal and led the Senators with 40 goals and 48 assists in 82 games.
