What a dick. Why can't someone devise a no trade clause which doesn't apply when the player demands to be traded? Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd Heatley killed the trade, for now. What a dick.

Although I can't say I entirely blame them, we haven't sniffed the playoffs since I was 11. Unless Scotty Van Pelt is on, we never get any love.

This is a trade that makes neither team better as far as I'm concerned. Edmonton is still light years from contending. Especially in the west. Is Heatley going to waive no trade to go there?
