From Hugh Adami of the Ottawa Citizen:

Martin Gerber can probably breathe a little easier with Alex Auld and not Ray Emery waiting in the wings to be the Ottawa Senators’ No. 1 goalie.

Auld, signed to a two-year, $2-million U.S. contract on July 1, didn’t hide his desire yesterday to become the starting goalie for the Senators, but he made it pretty clear he’ll accept the backup role, too. So fans shouldn’t expect him to throw any temper tantrums or show up late for practice if Gerber can hold onto to the No. 1 job.

The Senators have certainly added some good character players this off-season, which was a goal of Bryan Murray’s at the start of the season.
