EJ Hradek and NHL Live Reporting Dany Heatley has requested a trade

I think your first propsal is the most logical and likely to happen.

Ill bring this up all day until it happens. Tuebert/Frolov/5th overall. Makes so much sense. They still have another stud in Hickey, they dont need that 5th overall and Frolov is signed for 1 more year, at which time, if they like what the see from him in Ottawa, you can resign him. He'll get you 30 goals while playing in every situation.

Put Foligno with Spezza and Alfie ASAP.

Dreger on TSN suggesting PIttsburg, edmonton may want a finisher and would be interested in Dany HEatley, and the OTR panel, includign Ray Ferraro all agree it would not be difficult to find a taker for Heater's contract. I think the argument was, there are a few players in the league payed as much as Dany Heatley who are not half the player he is (Rangers might disagree lool)

^agreed PKC.

The first scenario gives some scoring depth back to the Sens, since we will lose some of our already insufficient scoring. It also leaves cap room for another mid level forward if need be.

The remaining scenarios also leave cap room for us to acquire some type of scoring. Sure, in the short term we may lose out on a considerable amount of scoring but that won't stop me from being excited! We've talked about Heater moving for a long time and now it's finally a real possibility. The fact that he doesn't want to be here makes me think our locker room dysfunction may become a thing of the past.

A guy like Frolov should be a 40/40 guy in Ottawa. No doubt. Teubert AND the 5th overall...I'll build Murray a Diddle statue if he pulls it off. Diddle a statue...a Diddle monument. I'll raze the parliament buildings to the ground and erect a massive likeness of Murray on the hill instead.

It's soooooo nice not to be talking about Spezza. NEVER AGAIN!!

Seriously, I'm pretty sure if Bryan Murray asks that to LA, they would seriously consider it. Their D is set for 10 years, and Dany HEatly for the next 5 years could lead them in the playoffs every year.

I don't see how Pittsburgh is a possibility... It could never happen with both Crosby and Malkin still playing for them. One would have to go in order to accomodate that massive salary.

What I REALLY want to see?

Trade Heatley for a top 10 pick + top prospect who's either ready to play in the NHL or very very close.

Go out and sign Jay Bouwmeester to play defense. Go out and sign Steve Sullivan. Make it happen.

Alfredsson - Spezza - Sullivan
Foligno - Fisher - (top prospect)/Shannon
Shannon/Regin - Kelly - Zubov
Winchester/Donovan - Bass - Ruutu

Kuba - Bouwmeester
Campoli - Phillips
Volchenkov - Lee
Picard/Karlsson/Weircioch

Dont forget who ever we draft with the 5th and 9th. Garenteed OEL will be part of the Sens organization while adding Tuebert. The Sens are Set in goal and up front for 10-15 years. You're laughing, absolutly laughing.

Beat it Heats, the time for a new culture has come for Ottawa!

How about Sharp and Seabrook for Heatley?

No shot Chicago does that. We rip em off huge.

Ahaha...throw in Havlat, Kane and Toews too while you're at it. Murray would be laughed off the line.

I know. The Ottawa Senators would instantly become the deepest team in the league. No question.

Well one of, LA would still be up there along with Chicago and Detroit.

Regin is a much beter center than Kelly. I'd move Fisher to wing on the top line, try Regin out as the 2nd line center.

I still think a top 5 pick and an awesome prospect is the way to go, then sign a free agent to replace Heater short term. Braydenn Shenn, Evander Kane or whoever in that top 5 should be ready in 1 or 2 years. We're not going anywhere next year, might as well have the best preparation for the years after.

Murray will get the deal he wants. I would be fine even if we couldnt replace Heatley right away. Top prospect and a 1st, I would be ok with, not extatic, but happy.
