Let's Make A Deal

The deal is done:

Cheechoo, Michalek, and 2010's 2nd round pick for Dany Heatley and a 5th round pick.

Knee jerk reaction - I'm stoked. We moved 2 of our albatross contracts and got back one of the best goal scorers in the league... who may or may not have character issues that I'll pretend don't exist.

This move makes way more sense than yesterday's madness, and is practically the same deal from a few weeks ago (Cheech, Ehrhoff, and a 1st rounder for Heatley).

Rosterbation:

Marleau - Thornton - Heatley
Clowe - Pavelski - Setoguchi
? - Mitchell - McGinn
Shelley - Nichol - ?

I've got Hinote, Ortmeyer, and Vesce as possibles for those last 2 question marks, but who knows how training camp will shake out.

This season just got way more interesting.
