Are you sick of hearing about Dany Heatley? I know that I am. Whether he’s staying with the Ottawa Senators or going someplace else, I want it to happen quickly so that everyone can move on with their lives.
The latest news is that Heatley could end up going to the San Jose Sharks (Sens GM Bryan Murray brought this “option” up) if third team gets involved and some are saying it will be the Montreal Canadiens. The Sharks are willing to ship Jonathan Cheechoo along with Christian Ehrhoff and a first-round selection but it’s unclear whether this is interesting enough for the Sens to consider.
A league executive is quoted as saying: “if the Sharks don’t have what the Senators want, then (GM) Doug Wilson might have to go get it from another team. ‘The Senators want a proven scoring winger in return and that means you might have to get a third team involved.”
In order for this to work, the Sharks would have to acquire someone from the Habs (presumably) but the player would need to be of interest to Ottawa. I just think this is too much effort to dump a disgruntled, ungrateful player like Heatley. I hope it works out for the teams but I don’t give a rat’s ass what happens to Heatley at this point.
