Finally, Dany Heatley has left the Ottawa Senators and has found a new home with the San Jose Sharks. This rumor has been floating around but it’s finally confirmed. In exchange, the Sharks sent Jonathan Cheechoo, Milan Michalek and second round pick to the Sens.

”I’m excited obviously, I’m excited to be a Shark,” Heatley said. ”I want to thank everyone in Ottawa, the organization, the fans, and the city. I had a great four years here (and) I’m happy to move on.”
Good. I hope he finds what he’s looking for in San Jose so that we can put all of this Heatley drama behind us. I think he could be a good fit with that team but you never know.
What do you think of Cheechoo and Michalek with Ottawa? Both of them have spent their entire careers (seven and five seasons, respectively) with the Sharks so it will be interesting to see how they fit into a different organization. This could be the boost the Sens really needed so I’d like to see them doing better this year.
