i think Ottawa wins for sure in this deal, Heatley + Spezza could be a killer combo...

With a healthy Hasek and now Heatly, it looks like the Cup is coming to Ottawa in the spring! Awesome news! :thumb:

well, he did only play 1 of those 3 years. still, at $1.5 million, i'd rather have hasek than belfour at $4.5 million if we're on the subject of 40 year old goalies. a reliable backup would be a nice insurance pickup, but i don't think there's too much out there. bring on opening night! :thumb:

Yeah I agree, there is a big question mark hanging over his head right now, well have to wait and see if he proves us wrong. I think Ottawa should invest in a solid backup goalie imo. Good job with the trade though, Id make that deal in a hearbeat, Hossa is great but Heatley is a better fit and is younger to boot. Im always glad when the best players come to Canada or teams in the Northeast, that way we get to see them play alot more. Thats why Im glad Crosby went to Pitts instead of Anaheim.

Hey, I never said Belfour was a better option. But I think it is pretty dangerous to put the fortunes of a team as talented as the Sens in the hands of a headcase like Hasek.
On another note, apparently Heatley asked for the trade. That changes my opinion of him a lot. The Thrashers stuck by that guy after everything that happened, yet he asks for a change of scenery. Wow.

If it was for one year right now Id take Hasek over Belfour, I think they both are past due anyways, one has a bad groin the other has a bad back and they are both old. I cant believe before the lockout that the Leafs were going to give him $8mil a year for 2 years? Jeez take the money and get someone young and solid in there instead, when Belfour finally packs it in, I hope for you (leaf fans) they have enough cap-room for someone solid. I think this will be the new catch phrase in hockey now- "cap-room". Im surprised he asked for the trade, maybe he got home-sick?

with de vries as the d-man involved, this looks even better for the sens. at $2.28 million he was earning a little too much in the post-lockout NHL. that money will come in handy when redden has to resign. well done mr. muckler! :thumb:

Just wait til Hasek up and quits on your team, just when you need him most. Then see how happy you are with him. Belfour's a headcase too, but he's no quitter.
