Heatley Gate: "It's simply not true," says Bryan Murray. Denials Across The Board.

[TCY Update 8:20] Dave Pollak: No deal has been done, and the Patty to NJ stuff? Not true, either.
[Plank Update 7:53]: On a side note- if you're Patty do you even want to play here? In 07-08 he was all over the board and had one of his worst seasons because of trade rumors. Now he's being left off season tickets, getting thrown into a humongous story just before training camp, getting stripped of the C... wow. If I'm me (which I am), do I want Patty to play here next year? His mental state is going to be questionable, and now you're risked alienating him in his upcoming contract negotiations next season. Maybe this whole fiasco cracked me, but it might be better just to move him and cut your losses before he cuts and runs. It has nothing to do with his play on the ice last year, and everything to do with his head this year. He's been dragged through the muck this entire offseason. Can he handle that? He couldn't two years ago.
[Plank Update 7:39]: I'm not calling anything just yet, but right now it looks like this might have been an exercise in futility.
[Plank Update 7:31]: Russo from The Trib- "Two of the nhl teams rumored in the Heatley deal haven't even talked in 2 1/2 weeks." [link]
[Plank Update 7:25]: Darren Dreger is reporting, "Sources say there is no Heatley deal and nothing is close at this point" [link].
[Plank Update 7:20]: Dean Lombardi to Rich Hammond of Inside The Kings: "Complete bull."
[Plank Update 7:16]: Remember that Heatley to the Oil broke as a done deal as well earlier this summer, before being denied because of him refusing to waive his NTC. There's a precedent here for jumping the gun in regards to a Heatley deal. Just saying I guess.
[Plank Update 7:11]: Mentioned this in the comments, but it bears repeating- the Kings lose big time in this deal IF it's true. Stoll and Frolov are solid players and cheap, and now you’re only guaranteed one year of Patty. Granted Lombardi may have some clout in a negotiation process considering he drafted Marleau and Patty may want to stay in California because of his kids and family, but there’s no guarantees in all this. I hate the potential of a Heatley deal from a salary cap and player depth standpoint, but he's a potential 60 goal guy as mentioned earlier this summer. TCY and I will have something more concrete up later tonight, regardless of whether or not this goes down.
[Plank Update 7:07]: All three teams are now denying Heatley report. On Twitter. Not exactly as solid as hearing it from Lombardi's mouth.
[Plank Update 6:51]: Waiting game says wait it out. Did Bucci swing for the fences and try to break the deal considering it has been the story of the summer? Or are both GM's denying the deal initially so they can inform their players? That doesn't make sense considering both guys had to waive their NTC's- then again, it's likely Heatley had San Jose on his short list and Marleau may have provided DW with one of his own as well.
[Plank Update 6:27]: Both Sharks GM Doug Wilson and Senators GM Bryan Murray denied the three-way trade when reached by ESPN.com. ESPN has also changed the title of the article to "Senators GM Murray Denies Deal" [link] I'm not sure this means anything just yet considering Buccigross doesn't seem like the type of guy to make things up out of thin air, but it's possible something hit a snag- Patty put his NTC to use? Who knows at this point. [H/T to Rated R Superstar for the heads up]
[Plank Update 5:55 PM]: Deal's done. Marleau to LA, Frolov and Stoll to the Sens. Lombardi gets back the player he drafted.
[TCY Update 5:42] According to a tweet by Buccigross that was immediately deleted, the Sharks will receive Heatley, the Kings will receive Marleau, and the Senators will receive Stoll and Frolov. Sounds an awful lot like the Garrioch rumor this morning.
H/T to CTGray for helping Plank and I out while our hands were tied. It was a crazy three way for a while there. A phone three way. Uh... here's the fanshot.
As you have probably seen, John Buccigross has tweeted that the Sharks and Ottawa will make a deal to send Heatley to the Sharks today or tomorrow.
[TCY Update 5:00] I've had a crazy day, and I was at the DMV when this broke. Plank is in Minnesota, and away from his computer. I have to go pick up Owen Nolan (the dog) from surgery (torn ACL). SO, needless to say, this didn't come at the best time.
Obviously, the situation has changed since we wrote our opinions on the subject, but here are Plank and my respective takes on the situation:
TCY: Is Dany Heatley worth the headache?
I hate these rumors as much as the next, but Buccigross is about as credible as they get. I'll update next time I can.

My reaction
Seriously, NO. Not worth the off-ice headaches or cap hit.
Now, you can follow my uninteresting life on Twitter.
Allow me to be the first to say
“Poop on a stick” if this true.
As always, if it is, Heatly is welcome to prove me wrong and make me look foolish later int he season by being spectacular and I am capable of changing my mind about him.

This better not come true.
It was a joke when Malkin to the Kings reported it. Now, with John Buccigross (Whom I absolutely LOVE and think he is freaking awesome) reporting it, it seems credible.

"Heatley will be a Shark in the next 48 hours"
Hehe, remember that? This is is pretty much the same thing, only with 24 fewer hours. Hopefully, its ends up the same way – completely and utterly wrong.

Hmm
could this be the Marleau to the Kings trade? I know I said I didn’t think DW would trade him in-division, but as Ang always says, we just don’t know what he’s thinking.
Or perhaps that Marleau to the Devils nonsense Conico was talking about? Interesting to ponder, but I add my name to the list of those who don’t want Marleau traded (even though I wouldn’t mind seeing Heatley in teal).
I have a man-crush on John Buccigross
But if he turns out to be the one to break this in any way/shape/form, it’ll be worse than discovering that there is no Santa Claus and that hockey has an off-season.

Seriously...that needs a spoiler alert.

@#$% Juan Uribe. Dios es grande.
Oh No! a Consistant 40+ goal scorer might be coming to the Sharks...
Let’s all freak out about it! Honestly…
I love Marleau. He’s always been my favorite Shark (well, second fave once Roenick showed up). But I love the Sharks more than any individual player, and I honestly think Heatley does make this team better (definately on offense, maybe not so much on D, but we have a solid defensive team already). Also, you never know. Bucci never mentioned any other players…so maybe DW swung something without Marleau. I doubt it, but who knows.
Sometimes the impossible can become possible if you're AWESOME!
It's not the numbers, or the non-backchecking
It’s the player, and the attitude that comes with it.
If hockey was all about numbers, I wouldn’t watch the games. Even if we literally traded a bag of pucks for Heatley, I’d still be upset because of who and what he is.
They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
I’m freaking out because his attitude is not something this team needs, he has already demanded two trades in his relatively short career, it’ll fuck up our depth, and our future will be screwed what with all our free agents next summer and the cap going down. And for what? A guy that can score maybe 10 more goals than Marleau, and is much worse on defense? Please. It’s not worth it.

lol, come on. You guys are insane. What exactly is Heatley’s attitude? The first trade made sense after the accident with Snyder and it’s not like Atlanta got screwed in getting Hossa. Ottawa is a joke franchise, run by a terrible management that has taken a Stanley Cup finalist and brought in 4 or so coaches in the past two seasons that have taken them to a near lottery pick finish.
If Heatley wants to play for a winner, then fine, cause that’s what we are. Thonton and Heatley set up to be a monster combination with 50 goal potential. He’s not as defensively accountable, but really, who cares? I mean, he’s a top line forward who’s finally gonna get to play for a coach who demands a certain level of accountability on both ends (see Milan Michalek).
I don’t know about the rest of you but Im a little tired of making moves that are relatively risk free for the sake of two or three years down the road. If the Sharks are winners, then the roster will utlimately take care of itself (especially if we continue to draft the way we do). Elite wingers hardly ever come along and if we can get Heatley for Marleau straight up it’s a steal.
Oh, so that's where you edit your signature
and for the record
I’ll take a Stanley Cup this year followed by years of not necessarily being an elite, but still good team, then a team that’s always full of promise because of our depth, but never gets over the hump because we lack enough elite players – and let’s be honest, Marleau has never been and I don’t think ever will be a truly elite player. He won’t be on the Canadian Olympic team where as Heatley still has a good shot and that says something to me.
Also, our defense this year is setting up to be more defensively accountable and perhaps less offensively influential so having a forward that scores more but maybe isn’t as much a two way player doesn’t seem to be as problematic to me. Let the offense handle the offense and the defense handle the defense first and then slot in players that can handle the other aspects as Mac sees fit.
Oh, so that's where you edit your signature
Despite my man crush on Marleau
I’d admit that he’s always had more promise than delivery.
Yes, this team needs to go all out because the window is closing, FAST.
Your point is taken that elite-wingers only come by every so often. You can also MAKE them come by more often by having cap space to sign free agents.
Size + TERM + shrinking salary cap makes this gamble much less appealing in my eyes. If Heatley bombs, we are stuck for four more seasons, and we likely have to let Joe walk in 2 years, Nabby next year.
They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
San Jose will never be in top position to bring in the best UFAs
It’s just a fact, and if we do we’ll always have to pay way more or offer longer contract then Eastern teams to land those guys – no matter how good we are we just don’t have the same kind of swagger as the more classic teams. 7.5m isn’t that bad and considering the length of contract the elite players are receiving these days, the length isn’t all that bad either.
Oh, so that's where you edit your signature
I'd like to think that will change
The team has historically been cheapskates, not spending to the ceiling.
Before Joe Thornton, the team was a middle of the pack team and a real far-flung outpost in the NHL. With Joe locked up, and some cap room made by dumping Ehrhoff and Lukowich, there’s potential for signings. Given the fact that Nabby comes of the books next season, and either Patty is allowed to walk or he renegotiates a discount, we’d have real potential to make a move and absorb contracts. Also, given all the pressure, I think management will spend to the ceiling now.
But, that’s all hypothetical. Until management ACTUALLY does this, and they can’t until next season, I’m talking out of my ass.
They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
I just don’t think the location or kinda of attention hockey gets in this area is attractive to the more firey players. This isn’t a knock to the Tank cause the atmosphere is great, but some players definitely want a bit more celebrity then what San Jose can offer.
Oh, so that's where you edit your signature
That's fair
Joe loves this place, but that’s Joe. With JR gone, it’s harder to have those big magnetic personalities that bring guys here. I’m really hoping Dan Boyle becomes that.
They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
Heatley for Marleau straight up is Grand Larceny
For me, this isn’t about losing Patrick Marleau. If he no longer wears teal, I’ll cry into my corn flakes for about 5 minutes, then root against him every time we play him.
Heatley’s attitude is a worry as follows:
1. Guy wrecked a Ferrari at age, what, 20? He was facing CRIMINAL CHARGES, and the whole team, the management, AND THE FAMILY OF DAN SNYDER went to bat for him. He decided he just couldn’t stay in Atlanta.
2. Ottawa is a joke, yes. X number of coaches, blah blah blah. Bailing on them after 30 games under a new coach was really the last straw? A coach that was turning things around? Guy can’t take the pressure of having his coach call him out?
If there has been one thing consistently said about us, it’s that we fold under pressure.
THIS is who we want to help us fix that?
They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
His attitude? Well, he doesn’t want to backcheck, he wants more minutes, has had problems with his coaches, demanded a trade from Ottawa publicly and then cried about how the media was treating him, demanded said trade only a year after he signed a 5-year extension, and has just not been acting well in this entire situation.
And personally, I’d rather be good two-three years down the road instead of banking on winning next year, which is what Heatley would make this team do. Just because you have the best team doesn’t mean you win the Cup, and I’d much rather have really good odds for several years than great odds for one year and then bad odds for the rest.

don’t see how we’d be flushed down the shitter after one year of Heatley, his contract isn’t THAT huge.
Oh, so that's where you edit your signature
$7.5
And it’s for 4 more years.
They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
$7.5M per year for five years, with the cap going down next year, a shit-ton of important free agents to re-sign, and barely any cap space? Yeah, that’s pretty huge.

We don't know it's going down or by how much
And we’d have three important free agents, and I think we’d be insane to resign Nabokov because of his age and he’ll demand a contract that’s way too long for a body that is clearly not the same as it once way.
If Pavelski and Setoguchi come out this year and both have monster years and we ultimately lose one of them we’ll manage. There will be other free agents and we’ll have money to work with so it won’t be the end of the road.
Oh, so that's where you edit your signature
I just feel much more secure having Pavelski and Setoguchi – two guys who are loyal to the team and will take hometown discounts if the time comes – than having Heatley, for now and for the future.

I don't think we actually know the loyalty of either player
Not saying they aren’t, just saying that they haven’t actually done anything to prove the kind of loyalty you speak of. It’s also not necessarily a sure thing they’ll be willing to take home town discounts if another team comes along for a bigger pay day., I especially get that vibe from Seto for some reason. He’s a good player, but he has a bit of an attitude and at times seem to put himself a bit before the team when it came to work rate (now don’t go jumping on me about saying this, not saying he’s a bad teammate, just saying he played lazy at times and could be fairly invisible).
Oh, so that's where you edit your signature
Sorry mymclife, I usually agree with and defer to you, but
Heatley didn’t publicly demand a trade. I know you don’t like him or his attitude, but the guy requested a trade, and the front office made the request public on their own. He did not, to any of our knowledge, demand a trade, much less do it publicly.
by Chicago Shark on Sep 10, 2009 6:20 PM PDT up reply actions
1. Heatley on Thornton’s wing is probably worth more like 20-25 more goals than Marleau, which is significant. Even 10 more goals is nothing to sneeze at, and I’d call that his floor.
2. Besides the request of this second trade (I’m going to throw out the first one because of the circumstances), what else do we have to go on that says he’ll be a clubhouse cancer? He didn’t want to be in Ottawa, and actually wants to be in San Jose. How many premier players can we say actually want to come to San Jose?
3. I understand the cap arguments, and yes, its a concern. But I also don’t presume to know more about the inner workings of San Jose’s cap and future plans than the front office. I have faith in DW to work everything out. With Marleau traded and Nabby off the books after next season, I’m sure DW can figure out a way to get everyone under cap we need to. No, I’m not going to do the math, I’m just going to have faith in our front office.
4. Trading Marleau and getting back Heatley does not screw up our depth. No minor leaguers or draft picks are headed out the door from what we’ve heard. If Marleau and a Couture and a 1st go out the door, then I’d be pissed. But losing Marleau and gaining Heatley does nothing to impact the depth of the club this year.
5. And like Teas alluded to as I was writing this: I want to see this team going all out to win it all this year. I think Heatley and Thornton would be a force to be reckoned with, and could definately help us get over the hump.

“Dany Heatley is headed to the San Jose Sharks, NHL sources confirmed to ESPN’s John Buccigross.
The 28-year-old forward was part of a three-team deal that will send the Sharks’ Patrick Marleau to the Los Angeles Kings and the Kings’ Alexander Frolov and Jarret Stoll to the Ottawa Senators."

Yeah, the Kings got majorly fucked here. Stoll and Frolov are solid players and cheap- you’re getting one year of Patty.

what i hate more about
getting someones jersey then find out they are traded is….. getting trolled.(
If it makes you feel better in one summer I had four players whose jerseys I owned leave the team, so I bought a replacement jersey and that player got traded three weeks later.

lets all just be happy that we are now a better team
patrick marleau was my favorite player but i put the team ahead of my player rankings. An organizational shakeup makes everyone more accountable knowing if they don’t get it together they will be gone too, similar to a change in coaching staff this is not only a great move player wise but also organizationally.
I don't like you Detroit.
…makes everyone more accountable knowing if they don’t get it together they will be gone too
What exactly did Marleau do wrong this past season?
Then...
it should be:
makes everyone more accountable knowing if they don’t get it together they will be gonetoo
Not to be picky…
and so they would trade someone who had one of their best seasons to teach the others a lesson?? that’s backasswards.

Does this sound funny?
Heatley uses his no trade clause to reject a trade to the Oilers cause he wants to be a Shark.
Marleau says eff-you Heatley and uses his NTC and screws Heatley out of any chance of going to a team he likes.
Irony my friends, irony
Wow...just wow
This is certainly huge news. One theme that I’m not seeing discussed much yet is the shakeup to our locker room. Roenick, Grier and Marleau are gone…Heatley doesn’t strike me as a leader and we didn’t get any leadership back in the Ehrhoff/Luko trade. The FO must really be looking internally for leaders to step up. Big Joe, Lil Joe, Seto, Clowe, Boyle…these guys really need to take this team by the reigns.
We just traded who for who?!
If any news breaks from the Kings brass, it will likely be posted by Rich Hammond first.

I am taking this with a grain of salt. BOTH GM’s are denying, Patrick Marleau would not waive his NTC and sure as hell would not waive it to go to a DIVISION RIVAL.

I don't think Kessel will have to pray that offers show up.
He has come out and said, “[His] priority priority instead is to sign a free-agent offer sheet with one of the league’s 29 other teams.” Hence, he will be testing the free agent market, because he will not be fielding an offer from the Bruins. I get your hesitation to use the term “testing,” but you’re just arguing semantics. In that case, look at it this way: Kessel will be sitting in his house hoping that some team gives him an offer sheet.

This trade wouldn’t make any sense because it’s not a three-way trade, it’s a trade between LA and Ottawa and then San Jose and LA. The Kings would have to trade Frolov and Stoll for Heatley and then trade Heatley for Marleau. Why wouldn’t they just trade for Heatley?
The West Coast is the Best Coast.
That’s a really good point Rudy. The only thing I can think of is Lombardi’s comments earlier this summer about Heatley not being a good fit for the Kings and the fact that he drafted Marleau.
Fear The Fin: Where Selling Your Soul Is The Likely Solution
Plank, regarding your update @ 7:11 above: I’m not so sure that the Kings would be such big losers of the trade scenario. Sure, Marleau is only under contract for one more season and then he’s a UFA, but you should consider that Frolov is only under contract for one more season, as well.

by DodgerBlueBalls on Sep 10, 2009 8:12 PM PDT up reply actions
That’s another good point- maybe Lombardi expects Frolov to walk and thinks he can resign Marleau to a deal? Probably the only way this turns out good for LA, because moving Frolov and Stoll for solely Marleau (especially if Lombardi can re-sign F&S) doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. You’re taking a huge risk by giving up guys who can be an excellent supporting cast for only one guaranteed year of Patty.

Question for the smarter folk here
I know Heatley’s contract is burdensome, but couldn’t this be good for the Sharks long term? They trade one season of Marleau for six seasons of Heatley. I know this doesn’t take into account that Marleau is awesome and Heatley seems like a douche, but that seems like good business. Or is Heatley’s contract just too large?

@#$% Juan Uribe. Dios es grande.
Shrinking Salary Cap
Most long term solutions look at the fact that Patty and Nabby come off the books next season and Joe in two.
It COULD be good business, trading one contract for another, but if AND ONLY if Dany Heatley is what gets this team a Stanley Cup. Because, realistically, Heatley will cost us Pavs, Seto and Nabby.

Then yes, you’d love to get any sort of value for him. But again, there is only one number that counts in this equation. 16. The number of wins in the Spring. If Dany Heatley brought that, he’d be the best move ever made in the history of anything ever.

I’d like to think the value of Patty walking (let’s hope this doesn’t happen) is free cap space to sign younger guys and more flexibility with trades and free agents.

you need to learn the ramen diet
it is what one lives on in college. I recommend noodles from the local Japanese grocery and frozen veggies. Add to boiling water. Cook. Eat. Be happier.

really, even Vons/Albertsons will have cheap noodles
just don’t use the flavor packets. That stuff is gross.

Yeah… I’m pretty much limited to either Smart & Final or Superior (local grocery store). And both are a good 15-20 minute walk from my dorm, which isn’t the most fun in the world.

that sucks
Albertson’s was about that from my dorm, but I had to have a car to go to work, etc, so, I was able to buy the foods.

Yeah, carrying bags of groceries all the way from one end of the campus to the other really isn’t fun.

Haha, well, since I’m in the middle of downtown LA, all the shopping carts have these anti-theft mechanisms that won’t let you even take the carts outside of the store. So that idea won’t work.

somewhere they sell those little grocery carts that are collapsible. We used to see people with those all the time before I moved back up to where people just take the grocery carts themselves.

I haven’t had the chance to go to the grocery store for a couple of weeks, so I’ve gone through my supply of Pop Tarts and Chef Boyardee. It actually just ran out yesterday, which explains my plight for the past two days. And of course, these two days have been the busiest for me.

As glad as I am that Marleau is still a Shark, I’m actually very worried about the fact that JOHN BUCCIGROSS WAS WRONG!!!!
This is very unsettling. I’d expect this crap from The Sun or Eklund. But Bucci’s a rock!

So, it’s a rumor when I leave for back-to-school night
A little later, I “borrow” someone’s wireless access to find it’s a done deal
I get home, and it turns out to be total BS . . .
What a night . . . glad you’re still here, Patty (at least until the next round of rumors)
(Still kinda pissed about this Santa Claus thing . . .)
Um...
This is an interesting thread. Here’s the mood of the thread all day:
Danmnit more Heatley rumors?
LOL look at the Marleau trade rumors!
WTF MARLEAU WAS TRADED?!!
I HATE HEATEY!!!
I’m gonna miss Marleau sooo much.

Patrick Marleau is still a member of the San Jose Sharks
Just thought I’d mention that
They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
I still wouldn't be surprised to see Heatley as a Shark at some point...
…which, as I’ve said above when we thought it was going down, I think is a good trade. Obviously I’m in the minority, but I’d still like to see Heatley in teal. Of course, now that it hasn’t gone down, I’m still glad to have Marleau on the team. Its not a bad position to be in. If the trade goes through in some form as rumored, we get a top, elite goal scorer. If it does not go through, we keep an awesome two-way player. I don’t see how this is a bad thing.
Sometimes the impossible can become possible if you're AWESOME!
Getting the news this happened while I was at a bar?
Yeah not the best timing there. And Bucci, really, you’re the only reason I bother visiting ESPN’s hockey page. Don’t make me rethink that. Here I was all ready to start breaking out the pitchforks and torches.

well, if Eklund posts it
http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Eklund/No-Heatley-Deal/1/22892
.. then it must be the exact opposite, so expect the trade to happen tomorrow.
I’m interested to see where this goes, but I want an end to all this Heatley nonsense in one way or another tomorrow. Either the deal is going forward or he doesn’t suit up for the Sharks heading into the 09-10. This is a young team, with a relatively fragile mental state and every player needs to focus on their on-ice game from game 1 of the season to game 7 of the Finals.

As an outsider, I just have to say — today has been one hell of an amusing day. Way to keep this offseason interesting, Lieutenant Twitter.
