A tweet from Scott Norton of Norton Sports is reporting that recent Binghamton Senator Lee Sweatt has informed the Ottawa Senators that he’s retiring (twitter.com/#!/ NortonSports/status/102063195795111936). Just a note for clarification about the source of the story: many outlets (such as www.silversevensens.com) are citing Bruce Garrioch as the source. If you haven’t read Garrioch’s tweet, he’s simply citing the Norton Sports tweet above. I’ll continue to update the story as it unfolds.
[August 13th update: Garrioch has confirmed the story in the Ottawa Sun today (http://www.ottawasun.com/2011/08/12/no-sweatt-sens-free-agent-pickup-retires-before-camp). There was no comment from the organisation included, nor any suggestion about who might be brought in to replace him.]
[August 18th update: Pierre Dorion was on The Team (www.team1200.com/ default.asp, part two of the interview, right near the end) and indicated the Sens are in no rush to replace Sweatt (saying if the right player is available they would sign him, but otherwise going with what they have).]
