When the Senators decided to trade winger Peter Schaefer away for a song named Shean Donovan last week, a rather unattractive term was immediately invoked. "Salary dump." Despite this distasteful phrase, how else could anyone interpret the exchange of one player set to earn $2.1 million (all terms US) in 2007-08 for another who is set to make $925,000 in the same year? After the ostentatious spending we have witnessed during the off-season thus far, you may start to believe that Senators owner Eugene Melnyk could cover Donovan's salary with the pocket change discovered in a jacket that he likely wore only once.
