But he had better provide a list a lot longer than one team (Vancouver) that he is willing to go to. Because Bryan Murray can be a real prick. He won't take a sub-standard deal. He won't take a break-even deal. Murray is getting a real good player back, a great rookie, and at least 2 high draft picks. Until that is offered, Heatley goes nowhere.
As far as drinking/drugs/women, get real. These are pro athletes, and things are exactly the same in all 30 cities, and Ottawa is no different. They all party hard.
Yaaaaaa, well in Ottawa it was a problem, that's why one of the crew went to rehab.
If someone busts a rail here and there, w/e, someone wants to pop a pill and have a good night out, go for it. A wed night after a game and then going home to do some more, its a problem. Drugs is what destroyed Ottawa, trust me on that one.
