$2500 fine, nothing more apparently.

Heatley was apparently playing with a broken hand - which sounds worse than it probably was, but still. Excuses coming out now.

More excuses than goals this year for that gap tooth prick.

SO they got rid of Michalek and Ehrhoff for a 3rd liner production-wise in the post season?

I loled. I must be tired.

That's pretty modest. I thought they might milk that reason for a 26 goal season too.....26.....he's not even a 39 goal man anymore

I'll be surprised if he cracks 60 points next year.

lol @ everyone just writing Heatley off. If you write him off write Michalek off too.

Michalek's problems are physical. Heatley's are mental.

So is Heatley's too though, he has had a bum shoulder and maybe feeling effects from his knee injuries as well...not using it as excuses, they're just facts.

Well then he has physical and mental problems to hurdle, lol.

To be fair I have written off Michalek in the sense that I no longer think his high end potential is 60-70 point winger, but I do think he's better than the last 2 seasons have shown.

I'm hoping he gets back to 60 points, I picked him 273rd overall in my fantasy league :KKK:

They might possibly produce at the same rate next year, one is younger, cheaper and a better back-checker.
On a rebuilding team it's clear we have the better fit.

^ That wouldn't surprise me. If he's healthy all year, MM9 can definitely put up 50ish points. If Heatley continues his downward spiral, he'll be around there, too.
