Dany Heatley quick hits

Everyone except Murray and probably 1/2 a dozen GM's dont know Dung.

The Fan 590 wants to feed their Blue and White listenerships desire to see the Senators fail.

What? Is he stupid? That would mean that Heatley's making $12 mil this coming year, which is not true.

By the CBA, when Heatley signed his deal, neither he nor any other player in the NHL can make more than $10 mil on the year. The maximum payout that can be made to a player was (and is) tied directly to the cap (20%), which was at $50 mil at the time.

On top of that, a quick examination of Heatley's contract refutes it: the pay structure is $10 mil in 2008-09, $8 mil in 2009-10, $8 mil in 2010-11, $8 mil in 2011-12, $6 mil in 2012-13, and $5 mil in 2013-14, for a total of $45 mil over 6 years.

Someone send MacLean a calculator and a connection to "the internets". If Dany Heatley makes $8 mil in 2009-10 (established fact), and he gets paid a $4 mil bonus on July 1st (also established fact), then the rest of the money owed to Heatley on the year must be $4 mil.

In addition, this $4 mil 'bonus' can't be a holdover or continuation from last year, because 1) Heatley's already made his $10 mil last year (the max a player could make in the calender year) and 2) July 1 is the beginning of the new calender year for the NHL, and so all payments made on or after July 1st go towards that year (and not the previous).

I emailed Doug MacLean on this and he emailed me back, admitting he got it wrong.

Here's what he said, from his Blackberry:

"You are right. I'm going to correct that tonite as I agree its confusing. Still a tough deal to make. Thx doug"

He's a good egg.

True, and if there is a pick involved it wouldn't be announced until tonight.

Dawg seems to think if a deal is done and it involves a pick you won't hear about it until tonight. He believes this hysteria being created around all the players (Heatley, Kaberle, Lecavilier)is something the NHL loves right now and they may just be keeping any deals under wraps so Gary can announce them to the world live on tv tonight.

If Clowe goes to either of those teams it's over for Heatley. Hopefully Clowe is the silver medal and they cant compete with that Heatley deal.
