Is it just me, or am I the only one that feels (and is being told by some friends/sources) that if Heatley sets foot once again in that dressing room, a cancerous presence is being too kind and mild...
He HAS to leave. NO ONE in Ottawa locker room will welcome him back with open arms. Not to mention, Melnyk is putting up a good front/show for the public, but make no mistake, he is almost having a stroke at Heatley's antics. The mere sight of him disgusts Uncle Eugene... Heatley will gone, the only question is when...
He's here until he's not.
Did anyone get a whiff of the Kovalev signing? I remember discussing Kovalev yesterday or the day before, and wondering if the Sens could grab him, seeing as he was not wanted in Montreal. I thought it was a little ridiculous so I never put it down in a post. Yet here we are.
I don't think anyone knows what Murray is going to do. Maybe not even Murray himself. It would not surprise me in the least if Heatley is not moved before the season begins. I am fairly certain he doesn't end the season here, but I would not be surprised if he starts here. Now, if he sits out, bonus -- as in get that bonus back and his salary as well. If not, then we have two game breakers to build a nice, safe lead out of the gat, let Alfie rest up for the playoffs. If Heatley is gone at the deadline, no problem. If we cannot get past the first or second round without him, we could not get out of the East with him. Wait 1-2 years until Cowen and Wiercioch are both here and then we can compete with the big boys.
Senschirp had the news up at 3:26pm today, if that counts. Of course, just about every major hockey source had it before 4pm.
