Reply To: Heatley situation

[Lars]

Tom,

I've been following the whole issue very closely, because Dany is one of my favorite players. All the stories you told about him always made him look like a nice, reasonable human being. I remember all the small videos you posted with him.
But let's face it: it is too easy for the media to make him the villain. Especially with the not waving his no-trade clause. It looked like he wanted that signing bonus. The worst thing I saw was on TSN, where they went to a store selling some merchandise in Ottawa and all Heatley sweaters were 50% off…

I'll hope the whole situation will come to a good end for both sides. Dany is one of the best players in the NHL today and his request to be traded is totally understandable.

If you talk to him, please tell him there are still people on his side!

Cheers from Germany,

Lars
