 On the Wings: Dominik Hasek now a Senator
The Senators were Hasek's first choice, due to their skilled roster and his relationship with GM John Muckler, who worked in Buffalo when Hasek was a Sabre.
Hasek played only 14 games during the 2003-2004 regular season due to a nagging groin injury, and ended up throwing in the towel on the season and having groin surgery in late April.
