The Ottawa Senators may have locked up defenceman Wade Redden, but his teammate Zdeno Chara could be on his way out of the nation's capital.

Chara's agent Matt Keator has rejected the Senators' last contract offer and says he and his client will try the market as an unrestricted free agent on Saturday.

Senators' GM John Muckler said Friday that the team will be looking to replace Chara beginning this weekend.

Chara enjoyed a career year in 2005-2006, posting career highs in goals (16) and points (43).

Chara could end up in New York playin with the Rags, but they're going to have to pay him a salary upwards of 7mil. It's a risk, just like Luongo and all of the other moves that have been made this offseason.

Chara will be greatly missed in Ottawa!!
