Brennan: Heatley will be a Shark "in the next two days."

No doubt, not too mention they don't have much under contract at the moment either.

Indeed. They are at the cap with 18 players signed. They are indeed in the worst position of all the teams rumoured to be part of this three-way.

In order for this to make sense for San Jose to acquire Heatley, they are going to have to get rid of over $10M in salary in order to have space for Heatley and to fill in their roster.

depending on who we get back if it's michalek 4.333.333 and ehrhoff 3.1, we're not far(less then 100.000) from heatleys 7.5.

to be honest it's us that will have to make room.

Gainey looking to trade, but rumors don't add up
TheFourthPeriod.com

Canadiens GM Bob Gainey would love to pull the trigger on another trade to bolster his lineup, but as the Montreal Gazette reports, he isn't about to make a move that doesn't make sense. The Canadiens have been linked to a three-way trade between the San Jose Sharks and Ottawa Senators. The deal would see the Habs receive center Patrick Marleau, the Sharks receive sniper Dany Heatley, and the Senators acquire center Tomas Plekanec and goalie Jaroslav Halak or defenseman Roman Hamrlik. While the move certainly helps the Sharks, gives the Canadiens another solid centerman and provides the Senators with some quality depth, all three teams are up against the salary cap and the Gazette points out the move puts the Habs back up against it. In fact, Sharks GM Doug Murray told the Ottawa Citizen that Montreal's involvement in a trade was news to him. "Don't know what the rumor is, but nothing new that I am aware of," he said. The Gazette indicates Gainey has left the door open for another major trade, having already acquired center Scott Gomez earlier in the summer. But as of now, a source said a deal isn't imminent, and one involving the Sharks and Senators in a three-way swap does not appear likely.
