I think you're right about Heatley. If he does stay on the Senators he will make the best of it - and the fans may come around. But he has certianly done some bridge burning - and it may yet land him out of town somewhere - maybe even midtown Manhattan. Thanks again and keep commentingDave Puckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17537616021997420040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451865709340963061.post-70275419435640409262009-08-22T21:04:39.081-04:002009-08-22T21:04:39.081-04:00Ryan - Hey - it's an honor to have a comment f...Ryan - Hey - it's an honor to have a comment from The Dark Ranger himself. Welcome aboard. I agree that the Heatley situation is a mess from all directions - from the Senators and Dany himself. But the guy can fill the net and Sather has had some success in the past with players that had issues on other teams (Sean Avery for one). And the possibility of Heatley lined up with Gaborik is fun to think about.<br /><br />And to our readers - check out The Dark Ranger for some great perspectives on our hockey team.

If He...Self-preservation is a basic human instinct. If Heatley returns to the Senators, he will get to work on making things more soft and fuzzy for himself, pronto. He will be humble, perhaps even express gratitude to be given this chance. The fans will accept because they know they would be even worse off if he was literally unloaded just to get rid of him.<br /><br />He will score some goals and be welcomed back into the bosom of Ottawa fans. After that, who knows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451865709340963061.post-68461007946888623102009-08-22T12:26:39.309-04:002009-08-22T12:26:39.309-04:00Heatley is so no saint, but the Senators have bloo...Heatley is so no saint, but the Senators have blood on their hands too. Bryan Murray tried to squeeze Glen Sather, who rightfully gave him the business and pulled his offer. Then accepted a trade with the Oilers, a team not on Heatley's list, and then played the 'woe is me' card when it was shot down. Murray made his bed on this one by giving him a NTC. There's nothing of substance to complain about there.<br /><br />Everything seems to point to the Sens making Heatley's trade demands public. if that truly is the case, they're just as much at fault as heatley is.Canyon of Blueshirtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08963604662950354647noreply@blogger.com
