A proposed trade that would have sent Heatley to the Oilers for Smid, Cogliano, and Penner has been shot down by Heatley himself, he of the no-trade clause.
Winners: The Northwest Division. With no disrespect to the Oilers trade bait, our division just dodged a 50-goal scoring bullet. And while players need thick skins to deal with the business of sports, it surely must create a little tension between management and the three players involved. Awkward...we totally still want you guys...
Losers: The Tourism Board of Edmonton. A storied history, respected coaching, some young talent, a passionate fan base and a 7.5 million dollar salary were not enough to sell Heatley on Edmonton. What chance do these poor folks have?
