Quel vol de San Jose !

Pas vraiment une signature.. mais Adam Foote est capitaine de l'Avalanche et les assistants Paul Statsny et Milan Hejduk.

Ou que vous avez vu que c'est officiel Heatley?

Ce n'est pas confirmé.

Même que je dirais que TSN et SportsNet parle même pas (pu) de la rumeur

Selon ce qu'a appris TSN, le vœu de Dany Heatley aurait finalement été exaucé. L'attaquant des Sénateurs serait passé samedi aux Sharks de San Jose.

En échange, San Jose aurait cédé Jonathan Cheechoo, Milan Michalek ainsi qu'un choix de 2e ronde.

Confirmé par TSN

Sources tell TSN that Dany Heatley and a fifth round pick have been traded to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Milan Michalek, Jonathan Cheechoo and a second round pick.

Trade discussions heated up on Friday and Saturday morning before a deal was finally agreed to. A deal that sends Heatley to the team he secretly wanted all along. A team he believed was an option when he refused to waive his no-move clause to accept a trade to the Edmonton Oilers.

Saturday's trade ends a saga that began with a verbal trade request in mid-May. A request, sources say, led to several discussions between Heatley, Senators coach Cory Clouston, Senators GM Bryan Murray, as well as Heatley's agents, JP Barry and Stacey McAlpine.

Ottawa responded to Heatley's trade demand by asking the request be put in writing.

Two days after the Senators received written confirmation from Heatley, the story broke publicly and the veteran forward quickly became a target for disdain in the nation's capital.

Heatley became unhappy with his role in Ottawa last season, especially after the Senators made a coaching change. He discussed his concerns about what he felt was the limiting of his ice time and his shift from the first power-play unit to the second unit with coach Clouston in the Senators' end-of-season meetings.

He also addressed the public ahead of the National Team Orientation Camp in late August.

"When I signed in Ottawa two years ago, I felt it was to be an integral part of the team," Heatley said. "Over the last two years and more recently over the past year, I feel my role was diminished. This past season, it diminished a lot more.

"This is a straight hockey decision. I have nothing against the fans of Ottawa, or the city of Ottawa. I would like the opportunity to go somewhere where I can play to the best of my capabilities and be the player that I can be."

Earlier this summer, Heatly used the no-movement clause in his contract to veto a move to the Oilers in exchange for Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner, and Ladislav Smid.

"It has nothing to do with Edmonton," Heatley said last month. "It has everything to do with the options. To this date there has only been one option, and I know that there are other teams out there. I don't feel I can make the right decision until there are a few options and I can make the right decision for my career."

The Senators have gone downhill since they appeared in the Stanley Cup Final in 2007.

In the 2007-08 season, the Senators had a hot start but struggled in the second half. They finished the season in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, but were swept by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round.

This past season, the Senators never really got it going and missed the playoffs. Heatley notched 39 goals and 33 assists in 82 games in the effort. The 72 points were his lowest point totals in his four seasons with the Senators.

The 28 year-old Heatly had back-to-back 50 goal seasons in 2005-06 and 2006-07.

Michalek, 24, is a five-year veteran of the NHL who spent his entire career with the Sharks, the team that drafted him in the first round (6th overall) in 2003. The native of Jindrichuv Hradec, Czech Republic, Michalek put up 23 goals and 34 assists with a plus- 11 rating in 77 games last season. In 317 career games in the NHL, Michalek has 91 goals, 123 assists and a plus- 49 rating.

Cheechoo, 29, is entering his seventh season in the NHL, playing his entire professional career to this point with the Sharks. A second round (29th overall) election by San Jose in 1998, Cheechoo had 12 goals and 17 assists with a minus- 3 rating last season.

Sérieusement, c'est très cher payé des Sharks pour les services de Dany Heatley... quel vol de la part des Sénateurs

Jonathan Cheechoo et Milan Michalek pour Dany Heatley?

Cool, j'attendais juste ça pour mettre la DB à jour.

The Vancouver Canucks have agreed to give veteran forward Mark Parrish a tryout.

Vol des Sens ?

Cheechoo: 66 points lors des 2 dernières années
Michalek: 112 points lors des 2 dernières années
Heatley: 154 points lors de 2 dernières années

Heatley 154, Les 2 autres 178.

Heatley est pratiquement autant productif que les 2 joueurs en panne sèches depuis 2 ans.

Les Sharks seront premier de l'ouest encore cette saison.

Après y avoir réfléchi un peu, je donne l'avantage aux Sharks.

Il y a un vieil adage qui dit que l'équipe qui obtient le meilleur joueur dans une transaction est la gagnante dans l'échange.

Michalek est un peu underachieve je trouve et Cheechoo est un has been (ou un one year year wonder, c'est selon).

Tandis que Heatley, c'est l'un des rares marqueurs naturels de 50 buts dans la ligue. Heatley et Thornton ensemble, attaboy

Mais aussi, pour avoir une vue globale de l'échange, il faut considérer l'échange affreuse que SJ a fait avec VAN pour libérer de la masse pour Heatley.

Tout compte fait, ils ont perdu beaucoup de profondeur pour rajouter Heatley dans leur alignement.

La DB est un peu + longue que prévu à mettre à jour car je dois recréer Fleury et ses saison par saison grrr

Appelé à remplacer Alex Kovalev à titre de fer de lance de l'attaque, Scott Gomez a eu droit à un accueil particulier. Après quelques présences infructueuses, il s'est fait apostropher par un amateur qui lui a servi un message clair : «Aie Gomez! Tu as besoin de te réveiller cette année.»

Et cet énergumène-là pense que ça va aider la relation partisans-joueurs?
La saison n'est même pas commencé qu'il est cloué au pilori...
