Summer Dany Heatley hits

I don't know why people are so sour on Comrie. If we can snag him for $2 or under, I'm right down. He plays a grittier game than people what to give him credit for. He's capable of 20-25 goals. $2 million is a bargain for what he potentially brings. Successful teams always seems to get value out of certain contracts and this guy potentially is worth way more than $2 million per. Last season he was on the Island, and was coming off major off season surgery, so I'll give him a mulligan. In his first stint here, he did everything that was asked of him and more. He played wing and centre with whomeever he was asked to play with and filled in on the top line for a spell and fit in. I'm going to be annoyed if Murray lets him walk this time over a few hundred K.

All jokes aside, I have read rumours from blogs that aren't worth repeating here. Chirp says he's heard something may be announced this week, though he doesn't know what that is.

Now, again, this is just something I heard from him and I can't find anything on Spector since I think you need to be a member. And there are no reports elsewhere.

Just thought I'd throw that in here...probably false, but still..

Did you say Gilbert or Eberle?

If there's any truth to the SJ rumours, I'll bet he's waiting for them to make an offer. Can't see him accepting an Edmonton trade until the other teams officially bow out.

Why does this amuse me so?

In fact, Heatley's agents should have just as good an idea of who is actually interested as Murray would since he suggested they go out and find a deal.

The criteria for a return is what differs, certainly.
