NHL Live on XM Radio had a segment where they were discussing the Heatley situation.
They said that it was down to 3 teams and that Murray had told the other teams not to bother anymore - apparently they were trying to lowball Murray and he just basically struck them off the list.
The first team:
Edmonton. Offering: Cogliano, Gilbert and the 10th overall
The second team:
LA. Offering: Frolov, Teubert/Hickey and the 5th overall.
So Murray went to the final team on the short list and said: "Top that, or get out of the running."
The final team is apparently the Hawks and Tallon balked big time when Murray suggested he could trump them with Toews (no doubt!).
So what happens now? The Hawks have countered with Sharp and Seabrook.
Murray has apparently said that while the deal is excellent, they lack the pick that he covets - to which, apparently, Tallon stepped up and added Bolland.
Any truth to this? I doubt it, but it comes from quite a reliable show - the same show I believe that broke this rumour in the first place. The kind of guys who know McAlpine and Barry, very, very well and would be getting somewhat of an inside scoop.
Anyway, I would poop my pantaloons if the Chicago deal is true - I'm banking on that being BS while Murray tries to trump up added interest from the other two players.
Funny that the other two offers are exactly what we all thought!
