To think Ottawa had both of these fools once upon a time. I think SJ got the better player at a lower cap hit too. I actually like Havlat and with "The fucking all-star" gone I might even cheer for the Sharks.
5 goals in over 30 playoff games with San Jose? Once the trade went down a couple of Flyers fans were on the radio asking why we didn't go after him (obviously just looked at his regular season stats). Well since Minnesota just plays regular season games they might actually love Heatley.
I was just telling my dad that Heatley will be gone by next season so the Sharks can resign Burns. Looks like I was wrong.
Awesome trade for the Sharks. Havlat only had 3 less goals and 2 less points than Heatley last season. Sharks gained 2.5mil in cap space and got a player with more speed and better puck control.
Not only that, but Heatley is definitely on the decline. Also gives the Sharks enough cap room to sure up their 3rd line. Doug Wilson is not done yet. Miettenin and Chimera are the names being tossed around here.
Theres a reason Heatley keeps getting moved.. dude aint got no heart. I dont think Havlat got much more heart, but hes cheaper and will probably give much more in the playoffs.
So you shark guys are happy to be getting havlat for heatley?
We assumed that no one would be dumb enough to give us anything of value for Heatley and his massive deal. Like Tailback said, Havlat isn't that much worse and the cap savings should help us extend Burns and Couture.

I really hope havlat plays like he used to back in ottawa but lol seriously.
Heatley is slow, has terrible balance, and was the 4th or 5th best sniper on the Sharks last season. He is getting worse each year and he was the highest paid player on the team.
Havlat is a proven playoff player, has proven to be durable the last 3 seasons, can create his own space and has elite speed. He is exactly what the Sharks need.

Havlat isn't much worse then heatley....
what in all that is fuck are you guys smoking.
Havlat has been beyond awful the last couple years. His lack of defensive play and laziness should be perfect for the rest of the sharks. You guys think a guy like heatley who's been hurt literally all year "had no heart" wait till you see havlat play.
