From Rick Carpiniello at Rangers Report:
I’ve been told that Heatley is coming to the Rangers tonight. Not sure what the Rangers are giving up to get him, but they can fit him under the cap now.

Update:
Now it sounds as if the Rangers are done for the night—I was wondering why they had the Glen Sather conference call so early. And if they are done for the night, that probably means they are done in the dealing for Dany Heatley.
Earlier I said it looked like it was getting done. Apparently what I was actually hearing but not comprehending was the Gomez deal going down. Sorry about that.
But once Ottawa makes that $4 million bonus payment to Heatley, I’m pretty sure there is no reason for the Senators to trade him … or to do it any time soon. So I assume the Sens will make a deal with Edmonton or some other team by midnight tonight.
Click here for more. We’ll see what happens tomorrow folks. I apologize if I got anyone excited but at least I posted an update unlike some rumor monger we all know.

Bob McKenzie on TSN just said that there’s “a lot of buzz” coming out od Edmonton that they might be on the verge of a deal for Heatley, with the main Oiler going the other way being Dustin Penner.

It has to be Heatley to New York. I can’t believe they got rid of Gomez’s contract. It could work out for Montreal if they can get Hossa but if they don’t they are screwed big time! Ha ha ha…If the Rangers don’t get Heatley….well at least they can rebuild with some cap space.

Sather is all in now so I’m going to say Callahan, Giraldi and Stahl…yes Stahl….AND a #1 pick. If I was Ottawa that is what I would demand…...

The Garden. The presser. And all will be revealed. That’s how I treat rumors.
IF it happens, this is a crazy deal and it should be interesting whom the Rangers have given up for him.
