Bryan Murray Vs Dany Heatley: Who Blinks First?

davetherave wrote:A few things to bear in mind....

As far as the letter from Heatley requesting the trade goes, its potential impact depends on the wording of the no-trade clause and the contract itself.

When dealing with contracts, a number of them will contain a specific paragraph saying that the Parties agree to the Terms and Conditions of the Agreement as contained therein, and that no subsequent document may be construed as altering or voiding the contract, and that only unless the Parties specifically agree to do so.

This gets very, very complicated...and can have lawyers arguing for months.

And as far as Edmonton is concerned, they are not, as far as I know, obligated to take the deal if the terms of the deal are changed.

This is going to set precedents of biblical proportions. Wasn't I the first one to say that by demanding a trade he violated the terms of his contract?

Nah, I'm sure it was N4L

Do things ever heal between the organization, the fans, the players and Heatley?

Just curious, because if Heatley stays, I think he fires Barry and McAlpine (and yes, I know how good they are as agents).

Maybe we can swing a 3-way trade, possibly involving Edmonton. Something involving Smith going back to Edmonton, Heatley and Auld going to San Jose (they need a backup). The rest of the pieces will have towait until I've had a cup of coffee.

I suppose now Murray will have to go out and get a list, signed, by teams not interested.

For the biggest agent in the NHL, JP Barry seem spretty f'ing dumb if you ask me. "My client wants options"; here they are JP Ottawa or Edmonton (option A and Option B); Take one and go f$$$ yourself.

Have you guys heard the latest that he might go play in Switzerland?

That's a joke, right? Or is this Yashin part deux?

this is way beyond Yashin, we should be burning Heatley effigies at SBP because of all this, I see his jersey's have all be marked down to 50% off in the city.

The only reason I ask is because Yashin fled to Switzerland when he was holding out. Not to play, but to more or less, escape from Ottawa.
