The Heatley Rumors
Posted 9:35 AM ET | Comments 17
As a die hard Hockey fan, i've been looking at all the trade rumors out there. Some of them Make no sense and some arent that far fetch. So what I wanted to do is look at all those rumors and see which one would be best suited for the Sens...
First off the find out what would be best for the sens, we would need to know what is the biggest weak spot in the Sens lineup... The sens were always weak at the 2nd line C position(Fisher never excel)... Also we need a top LW with Heatley gone.... those are priorities to get the sens to the next lvl...
So to sum this up, SENS need a 2nd line C, and a good LW....Now here are the rumors going around....
New York Rangers
Rozsival/Dubinsky/Mcdonaugh
for
Heatley
IMO this will not happen... there's 5 million reason why Murray wouldnt want Rozsival contract... and the only way Rangers deal for Heatley is if the move one of those big contracts(Drury/Gaborik/Redden/Rozsival) Drury has a NMC...Gaborik just signed...Redden will never play for Murray again.... Rozsival just overpriced....
Buffalo Sabres
Derek Roy/Dan Paille/Tyler Myers
vs
Heatley/ add player here(picard/smith/lee/schubert/kelly)
Now I doubt that the sabres would be ready to let Myers go but maybe is the price is right like a Heatley/Kelly/draft pick....If i'm bryan Murray i'm all over that... now it would remain to be see if Heatley would waive his NTC to go to buffalo.... IMO dobt hink it wil happen.... but would be good for both teams...
San Jose Sharks
Lots of rumors with the sharks...Thing is anything with cheechoo in the Deal Murray will not do it...He wants Michalek or Setogushi at that LW.....
Minnesota Wilds
P-M Bouchard/Brent Burns....
Vs
Heatley/Kelly
A few rumors came out about the Wilds... and it seems if there was a deal to be made it will be around Brent Burns... not sure if the wilds will let him go at 3.5 million on the cap... cheap guy and good....
Dallas Stars
Richards/Neal or Erickson
Vs
Heatley/add player here(picard/smith/lee/schubert/kelly)
Dallas still has roughly 10 million in cap space and almost any deal would work....Same deal here Heatley would need to Waive his Dam NTC..
So after looking at all these rumors... If i'm Bryan Murray I would deal with the STARTS or Buffalo.... you would get your center and LW...
If dealt with Dallas
Foligno/Spezza/Kovalev
Neal/Richard/Alfie
If dealt with Buffalo
Foligno/Spezza/Kovalev
Paille/Roy/Alfie
So what do you guys think......

So what do you guys think......
You crazy that's what I think. No way does Myers get moved and from what I have read, Roy isn't going anywhere. Makes no sense for the Sabres to trade Myers. Heatley will rot in Ottawa
First of all u can't have Spezza on the same line as Kovalev. Alfie and Spezza stay together. What kind of fan are u. Can anyone write a blog on this thing.
Honestly your Crazy... have you watch any sens game last year.... Foligno will stay with Spezza.... Also if you are a Sens Fan you woill realize that Alfie is always moved around form the 2 and top line... kovalev and alfie will share the top rw spot, till someone stand out
Hey Sabres89... this is what the rumor is just putting it out there.... personnaly seing Vanek-Connoly-Heatley... would be pretty dam strong.... but not to worry i doubt he will be traded to the Sabres... I think this was made up....
Jakester... why not try and write something.... what team do you think he will go to

Heatley to the Canucks cause he loves living in BC. Going the other way Demetra cause Nucks need to make cap room for Heater and he can play second line second line center for O. Plus Mason Raymond good Ontairio boy read for top 6 LW skilled and fast to play forcheck game. ADD Prospects 1st rounders White/Grabner speed in spades for O's game. Slot Heater in with the Sedins and Canucks can make a run! Murray and Gillis get it done!
Looks like you guys either get fleeced in a trade or end up being stuck with an imature first class sphincter atleast to start the year. It's too bad you can't send him to the KHL and atleast rid yourselfs of that cap hit and massive team distraction. Maybe it will work out for you guys. I just hope where ever Heatley goes life sucks for him. As he's living in a world all of us dream of. He's definatley not deserving of that privelledged lifestyle that's for sure.
Heatley doesn't move. Period. Put him in the minors right at the beginning of the season. Still gotta pay him but his salary doesnt count towards the cap. Missing a chunk of offense. But gaining stability. Or just get someone to take him out for drinks and let him drive home... Problem solved.
Wow Yaa Baby. Pretty harsh. Doesn't a NMC mean what it says? Like no movement? Ottawa Senators not the AHL Senators? And he'd have to clear waivers even to do that. Or am I wrong?
Nice one typical moron fan who thinks they know something. Heatley has a NMC that means you can't move him period. That includes being moved to the minors. Don't quit your day job hero.
Lmao don't pay any attention to any flameouts who pop onto your guys site they don't know hockey from crap. And I still think when Heatley finally realizes there is no one else he will waive for the oil. Although still not sure we want him here
heatley to nyr could be the most likely now...... they just signed prospal at 1.1 mil for 1 yr and have 2.5 mil of cap space. Prospal can play center and this makes it easier to trade dubi, rozi, lisin, and a first for heater.
