Breaking News: Heatley traded to San Jose.

From TSN:

Disgruntled forward Dany Heatley has gotten his wish.

The Ottawa Senators dealt the veteran forward to the San Jose Sharks for Milan Michalek, Jonathan Cheechoo and a second round pick.

Heatley informed the Senators in early June that despite having five-years remaining on a six-year, $7.5-million-per-year contract extension he recently signed, he wished to be moved.

He became unhappy with his role in Ottawa last season, especially after the Senators made a coaching change. He discussed his concerns about what he felt was the limiting of his ice time and his shift from the first power-play unit to the second unit with head coach Cory Clouston in the Senators’ end-of-season meetings.

Unfortunately for Senators fans, the Sharks won’t be playing in Ottawa this season, although they do play on Tuesday, December 1st in San Jose.
