Utterly Bewildered

TEAMS: Ottawa Senators,  Philadelphia Flyers

Heatley
Howdy from a hungover Ottawa. Good show last night from the Hill. My favourite part about Canada Day is seeing so many different peoples and cultures celebrating one nation. Not totally shocked Heatley and Neil are still Sens today. Shocked on how it happened. Obviously Bryan Murray and Co. were put in a difficult situation when Heatley decided to cut and run. Obviously however it's been long enough to realize the market for Heatley is small and the chances he'll reverse his decision and play for the Sens is smaller. He needed to be traded before his $4 million dollar bonus kicked in. So Murray & Co. had a deal with the Oilers on the table...Heatley rejected it twice (even when Oilers management went out to B.C. on Canada Day to try convince him). The reasoning behind the rejection is four-fold; Dany didn't think Ottawa was getting enough in the deal w/ EDM, he thought Murray didn't try hard enough to get a deal done with NYR or SJ, he doesn't want EDM to hav...

Howdy from a rainy day in Ottawa. First let's deal with reality for a moment. A blogger has suggested that the NHLPA's statement saying they are 'backing Dany Heatley till his grave' in regards to his situation in Ottawa doesn't do anything to dispell whether or not it's members are a little ticked off with Dany. The question is how many NTC's have been...

Sources: Heatley refuses to waive his no trade clause.

Via Illegal Curve  |  July 01, 2009
From TSN.ca: The Ottawa Senators are on the hook for a $4 million signing bonus to forward Dany Heatley. Like he did no Tuesday, the disgruntled forward declined to waive his no-movement clause to facilitate a trade to the Edmonton Oilers. For complete story, click here. We finally get some resolution.  Heatley’s refusal to go to Edmonton has really caused the Oilers [...]

Heatly to the Oilers?

Via Goon's World  |  June 30, 2009
TSN is reporting this deal if Heatley will waive his no-trade clause. If this is true the Edmonton Oilers will have gotten a lot better or at least added some fire power they didn't have last year. The Senators give up an unhappy star in Heatley for three decent role players. Sources say Dany Heatley has been asked to waive his no-trade clause to go to Edmonton in exchange for...

NHL free agency: Dany Heatley declines to waive no-trade clause for Edmonton Oilers before midnight deadline

Via ESPN  |  July 01, 2009
Dany Heatley is now $4-million richer but he's still with the Ottawa Senators.

Heatley vetoes again

Via Rangers Report  |  July 01, 2009
Looks like Dany Heatley is getting his $4 million from Ottawa, and Edmonton is getting stuck again. Heatley again declined the request to waive his no-trade clause, even after personal visits from Kevin Lowe and Steve Tambellini of the Oilers’ front office. So he remains in Ottawa, $4 million richer, and on a team on which [...]

We're Not the Jet Set

Via Lowetide  |  July 01, 2009
This is Glen Sather. If you're an Oiler fan, this is a day to turn back the clock and cheer like hell for "Slats." Dany Heatley's delay on giving the go-ahead on a trade that sees Edmonton loading up on a 1line L gives Sather and the Rangers a window of opportunity.As I understand it, Heatley would prefer to play in New York City. I think it's a good move for...

In Defense of Dany Heatley (sort of)

Via Canucks and Beyond  |  July 02, 2009
One thing I was struck by yesterday as speculation unfolded on various signings, is that hockey fans and journalists are often very willing to believe the worst things about hockey players, and usually without any substantial confirmation that those things are true.  The Dany Heatley drama appears to be a grand example of this. Ask nearly any fan today what he thinks of...

Reports: Ottawa Senators agree to send disgruntled Dany Heatley to Edmonton Oilers

Via ESPN  |  June 30, 2009
Multiple outlets reported Tuesday night that the Ottawa Senators have agreed to send Dany Heatley to Edmonton for Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid.

Source: Heatley to SJ for a package involving Marleau/Michalek

Via MVN  |  July 01, 2009
Howdy from a now sunny again Ottawa. Rumoured from a source saying Dany Heatley is off to play with Big Joe in San Jose for a package including Patrick Marleau and/or Milan Michalek. Wasn't I just talking about these guys earlier today? Again, rumour only as of now. Nothing else out of the Sens camp...given the need to deal Dany and our cap situation we looked like a '...

Senators Lose Leverage and Increase Demands

Via Puck Update  |  July 03, 2009
There’s a lot I don’t get about the Dany Heatley ransom demands. Like why are the Oilers so hot for a player who so obviously doesn’t want to play for them? Are they only interested because they know he’ll demand a trade in another two seasons? Do they think they can change him? And as the demand [...]

Heatley to EDM for Penner, Cogliano and Smid...maybe

Via MVN  |  June 30, 2009
Howdy from Ottawa. Huge 11th hour news for the Ottawa Senators organization. The deal on the table is below, yet Dany Heatley has not waived his no-movement clause to go to Edmonton. Heatley's agent J.P Barry believe's the $4 mil. bonus deadline was 11:59pm Wednesday while the Sens believe it was 11:59pm Tuesday. If Heatley doesn't waive his clause to go to EDM, the New...

Late signings: Gaborik, Gionta and Sullivan

Via Illegal Curve  |  July 01, 2009
The Oilers are meeting with Dany Heatley tonight.  Heatley is bothering everyone in the hockey world.  Just end this circus already.  Brian Gionta has signed with the Montreal Canadiens for 5 years, $25 million.  A lot of money to throw at Gionta, but the Habs have clearly demonstrated their intention to go with speed and skill [...]
