Allan Muir: Sizing up the Dany Heatley trade

In NHL hockey news, Dany Heatley is on his way to the San Jose Sharks. The deal has been speculated for some time.

Dany Heatley finally got a deal he was willing to accept.  It was announced this morning, shortly after he showed up at Senators' Training Camp, that the former two-time 50 goal scorer has been traded, along with a 2010 fifth round pick to the San Jose Sharks for Jonathan Cheechoo, Milan Michalek and a 2010 second round pick.  At the end of the 2008–09 season...

So the Sharks did get Dany Heatley after all. It was the Patrick Marleau part of the rumor that was wrong. Heatley, one of a diminishing number of 50-goal scorers in a league that is continually losing its scoring punch, was shipped westward Saturday for fan...
