From Bob McKenzie @TSN: HEATLEY REJECTS TRADE AFTER DEMANDING TRADE??
by Quisp • • 0 Comments
Now, it gets interesting. Dany Heatley did not waive his no-movement clause to facilitate an agreed-upon trade between the Ottawa Senators and Edmonton Oilers that would have sent Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid to Ottawa. For now, and quite possibly forever, the deal is dead. via TSN .

Heatley reportedly wasn’t happy playing for coach Cory Clouston, who replaced Craig Hartsburg at mid-season and reduced the winger’s playing time, including moving him for a spell onto the team’s second power-play unit. With five years and more than $37 million remaining on his current contract, Heatley’s decision sparked considerable vitriol from Senators fans as…
From Oilers Nation: Has Chris Pronger Been Traded to L.A.?
by Quisp • • 2 Comments
Has Chris Pronger been traded to the Los Angeles Kings for Jack Johnson and the 5th overall draft pick.

The NHLPA will vote later this month on whether they want to invoke a 5% increase in the cap, but it will likely stay close to $56.7-million (all terms US) range…
