T-Ruff 47 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) at 8:55 ESPN posted a story that sources confirmed this deal Heatley to San Jose Marleau to Los Angeles Frolov and Stoll to Ottawa 2 min later they posted this update: Both Sharks GM Doug Wilson and Senators GM Bryan Murray denied the three-way trade when reached by ESPN.com. However, since this was posted on ESPN I imagine there is something to it... Speculation is that the reason it's being denied is perhaps because Marleau and Heatley still need to waive their NTC's....

GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 Why would LA give up 2 good young players, one being a potential superstar, for a playoff choker? Terrible trade for them if this happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrible trade for them if this happens. I agree, I mean they wanted to add a scoring winger, not give up one. They better get like two first rounders as well.

Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 I hope I'm not the only one who is hoping Heatley isn't traded, simply so that he'll have to suck it up and play for the Senators. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lidstrom for Norris 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 If they can't get this 3-way deal finalized and get Marleau's NTC worked out (if that is what is holding it up) within the next 24 hours, the whole thing is shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 According to ESPN News, Heatley has been traded to the Sharks in a three way deal. No other details given yet... TSN or it didn't happen. By the way-- this deal has been rumoured for months. And yet neither Murray nor Heatly mentioned the Sharks as an interested party... that tells me that the Sharks want the deal but haven't made an offer the Sens consider serious.

Speculation is that the reason it's being denied is perhaps because Marleau and Heatley still need to waive their NTC's.... Edit: beaten by a minute That's a terrible deal for Los Angeles. Frolov for Marleau straight up is a questionable trade for the Kings (given that they're still stuck in rebuilding mode): Marleau: Age 29, Last 4 seasons: 71pts/48pts/78pts/86pts Frolov: Age 24, Last 4 seasons: 59pts/67pts/71pts/54pts It's worth noting that if you compare Marleau to Frolov season by season in their respective careers Frolov has done much better on a worse team (I'm comparing one guy's 1st year to the other's 1st year and so on). Add to that that Marleau's heart and leadership is a big question mark and I just can't see why LA would trade their budding star for a guy who was worse at Frolov's age and is 5 years older. This trade would make more sense if the Kings were trying to make a playoff run but it certainly doesn't make sense for a team that's in perpetual rebuilding mode. I guess it makes sense based on LA's history of jettisoning valuable assets for less than their worth and making retarded trades for old men. But adding Stoll in there just makes it retarded.

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 Well, Frolov is a UFA in 10 months, maybe the Kings already know that he isn't going to re-sign. Who knows. That type of thinking seems to be common in LA's management and it's exactly why they've been "rebuilding" for decades. Pathetic. They're a revolving door for talent that hands gifts out to whoever trades with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shoreline Report post Posted September 11, 2009 I read a few posts from the start, and I get the impression these "sources" were some *******'s twitter. Now that the Dany Heatley thing has happened twice this summer, maybe they can clean out their twitter sources and start actually talking to the teams or use a more reputable "source".

stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 Ottawa makes out like a bandit in this trade... sheds TONS of cap, gets rid of a malcontent and adds a very undervalued, underused face off gem in Stoll and an up and coming scorer in Frolov... complete fleecing by Murray... why the hell would LA make this trade is my question?????
