Ottawa got the short end of that deal for sure!

Selanne lost a step after he left the Ducks. Kairya was never the same after he got layed out either.

Hopefully Heatley will keep the deaths to a minimum.

Youre right about Ottawa but with that trade it should allow them to keep Redden, which is a big key for their defense.

Its been said that Selanne has been playing on a bad knee for the past 2 seasons and he had that fixed during the lockout so who knows, maybe the Finnish Flash will be back.

Luongo loses arbitration.

I have a feeling he wants out of Florida. He's a bad ass and if moved to the right team, he's going to make a contender out of them. He doesn't become a UFA for 2 years, but seeing how Keenan is a hardass, I would be surprised if Luongo convinced them to trade him.

No way Ottawa got the bad end of that deal. Heatley is a GREAT young player, Hossa is a nice winger who is stronger than he looks but isnt the Alfresson type to go into traffic areas, or a mean streak with a nose for the net like Havlat. Therefore the Senators found him to be expendable. Heatley on the other hand can play center or left wing and will go to the net, is responsible on defense and can play the point on the power play. I kind of hated to see de Vries go to Atlanta in the deal. I've never been fond of him as a player but he always played the "role player" to a 'T' and was very versatile. Heatley will have more points and a better plus minus than Hossa/de Vries combined. Besides who is gonna set up Hossa and Kovalchuk? Marc Savard? If he's healthy....and speaking of health Heatley isn't the only player in this deal to destroy another's hockey career.

Heatley should have a great career ahead of him. Not many players in this era score 40+ goals in their second season in the league.

I read somewhere, forget where, that Colorado was looking at Luongo and that's where he wants to go. My question is why the fuckin heck would Colorado want Luongo? Is Aebischer not good enough? Colorado had a mediocre season at best last year and that guy still won over 30 games and had one of the lowest GAA in team history. That says a lot since the best goaltender in history played there for x-amount of years.
