Senators avoided salary arbitration with goalie Ray Emery and defenseman Christoph Schubert on Tuesday, and hope to do the same with center Chris Kelly.''We're hoping that we can get that resolved as well,'' said Senators general manager Bryan Murray, who had a meeting planned with Kelly's agent later Tuesday.
The contract with Emery was struck just before the two sides were to begin their arbitration hearing.
''They say some guys get upset in there,'' Emery said on a conference call. ''I'm just happy to finish this thing.''
The 24-year-old was a restricted free agent. He will earn $2.75 million next season, $3.25 million in 2008-09 and $3.5 million in 2009-10 -- for an annual average of $3.16 million, a big raise over the $925,000 he made last season. He will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the contract.
