Heatley Traded?

[Cody]

Heatley to Sharks, denied by Murray (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=4463628)



The deal would send Heatley to San Jose, Marleau to Los Angeles, and Frolov and Stoll to Ottawa.

Is the heatley saga finally over? :O

[Leafsfan15]

Indeed it is!
I believe the sens got ripped off though, should of at least got a 1st instead of the 2nd.

Ottawa got screwed. Not entirely their fault, obviously Heatley's trade value wasn't at a premium because of the matter that Heatley dealt with the situation.

Also, one of San Jose's biggest criticisms is their lack of leadership. Heatley obviously doesn't help that situation. From the outside looking in, he sure doesn't come across as a team player to me.

[Leafsfan15]

Yeah, I agree.
I think the sens got ripped off still, but i also think they got the most they could possible. Heatley's trade value first went down when it went public that he wanted out and then it went down again when the first deal murray could get was rejected by heatley.
But it's all the sens could do
For the sharks, well we won't know if this was a good trade for them til april.

Thornton and Heatley will likely tear it up in the regular season, but can they get it done when it matters?
