but how does Senchirp know all this detail? he's always been very guarded about spewing too many unconfirmed rumors but now it's like he's sitting in Murray office typing as he talks!?

What gives? Again...THIS IS GREAT but I'm not going to get myself excited until I see the words "has accepted trade and not used his NTC"

Yeah, I completely agree. This Heatley mess has taught me not to get excited about anything until it actually happens. I want to rip my damn hair out and light myself on fire some days.

Worth checking out.

Shultz, Koivu and Cuma.

It also says that additional pieces might be added, including a salary dump from Ottawa, and Colton Gillies coming from Minny....

I'm sold. Schultz would be better in Ottawa. His skill is stifled somewhat in Minny system up to now. We all know what Koivu brings, and Cuma is the cherry on top.

The strange thing here is that apparently Ottawa is trying to include Havlat????? Why would Minny do that literally weeks after signing him. Doesn't send a good message at all to potential FA's looking at Minnesota for sure.

If this is an officially tabled offer, why hasn't Murray accepted it already?????

SeawaySensFan wrote:(UPDATE- 10:56 AM)- As some of you have already pointed out there may be an issue getting Heatley to waive if a deal can be reached with the Wild. However there is no indication that Ottawa and Minnesota are any closer to a deal at this hour. The thinking is San Jose will make one last pitch at some point today but if Cheechoo is involved they can forget about it.

There you have it from Senshirp himself.

I don't understand why Bryan just doesn't specifically say these are the player and/or picks we want and be done with it.

Quick update with much more to follow. There is a rumor out there regarding the Wild ans Heatley. I am told that nothing is imminent or close to
getting done. More after the show.

I am now very optimistic that a deal is mere seconds away.
