NHL and Hockey Rumors for Jan 23, 2009

The Ottawa Senators have placed goalie Martin Gerber on waivers. In the likely event that he clears, he has two options: play for the AHL Binghamton Senators or play for a European club. Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun speculates that teams in Germany and Sweden have shown interest. Brochu's take: He will clear waivers. We may have seen the last of Gerber in the NHL, as he may go the way of another Swiss goalie, David Aebischer. Souce

I think he's headed for Europe. It's been too long since he played well for a stretch. I doubt anyone will take an interest.
