Pass. To get Heatley, we're talking one of Oshie/Berglund/Petro/Boyes. Otherwise I'm pretty sure we could get a better deal elsewhere.

Still...I had a bad feeling about Heater and the top line, so I'm glad he's gonzo.

I called the Carolina trade player for player.

...should I take your word for that?

I'm pretty sure he did, actually.

Nothing wrong with Cole, Eller, and thier 1st this year coming back. Might be taking Karyia for salary though.

That makes me very excited. I knew it was the case, but it's like Asq is the BS detector from time to time. I was expecting a Penner, 1st round - and we'd be lucky. :^^^^:

I'm probably more disconnected than you are. But if we get Penner and a first rounder I want Murray gone.

Although I like the idea of another top-10 pick.

I love Cole, think he has all the makings of a solid, shut down D man with tons of grit and toughness.

Eller I agree with, but he will still be top 6.

Really? I have no fear of that at all. Heatley needs to GTFO ASAP, not hang around. When the time comes, he'll be dealt, I'm certain of it.

I also fear the hold-out. If Heatley doesn't go ahead and waive his NTC then we might have limited options and be forced to hold on to him. It's a very real possibility and I could totally see Heatley doing it.

IF Murray has to take back salary from Edmonton, and having the history with PEnner he does, he could very well be alright on a line with Alfi and Spezza. There would have to A LOT more ocming back obviously than just a 1st rounder.
