Les Sénateurs d'Ottawa ont échangé Dany Heatley aux Sharks de San Jose dans un échange à trois équipes, qui implique aussi les Kings de Los Angeles, selon ESPN.
http://www.rds.ca/senateurs/chroniques/282116.htmlThe Ottawa Senators have reached an agreement to send Dany Heatley to the San Jose Sharks, NHL sources told 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 Senators.
Both Sharks GM Doug Wilson and Senators GM Bryan Murray denied the three-way trade when reached by ESPN.com.
Heatley has made no secret of his wish to be traded. In late June, Ottawa had a tentative trade for Heatley worked out with the Edmonton Oilers. But Heatley would not waive his no-trade clause because Edmonton was not on his list of desired destinations.
The Senators has hoped to get trade done before training camp opens on Saturday.
"When I signed in Ottawa two years ago, I felt it was to be an integral part of the team," Heatley said in late August. "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.
"I'm a player who can play in a lot of different situations. I don't feel I was given that role on the team."
The two-time 50-goal scorer said then he will report to training camp.
"I have a contract and I'm going to honor that contract," Heatley said. "At the same time, I think we know there are other teams out there who are interested, and hopefully something can get done."
He had 39 goals and 33 assists in 82 games last season, the lowest point total in four seasons with the Senators.
He signed a $45 million, six-year contract extension less than two years ago. Heatley comes with a hefty price tag, counting $7.5 million toward the salary cap of $56.8 million next season. He had 39 goals and 33 assists in 82 games last season, the lowest point total in four seasons with the Senators.
