Heatley won’t come here, and we don’t want him. We’ve had enough trouble with a talented player who played lazy and blew games because he didn’t want to be here (see Bouwmeester, Jay).

And for that trade scenario, it’s not that I wouldn’t be glad to see Horton go for a better player but it’s not happening for two reasons: number one, Heatley’s not it and number two, Keith Ballard isn’t going anywhere. Along with Weiss and Booth, he’s the other guy management is pushing as a face of the franchise. Additionally, he’s the team’s second best defenseman and not expendable for a forward. No matter how much the team needs one.
