Buccigross loves Twitter,
frolov and stoll to Ottawa..Marleau to LA
update 8:28pm, Scratch that, fake Buccigross.
update 8:30pm, Ha, maybe not fake, but tweet is no longer there.
added 9:08pm, via ESPN,
The Ottawa Senators have reached an agreement to send Dany Heatley to the San Jose Sharks, NHL sources told ESPN’s John Buccigross.
The 28-year-old forward was part of a three-team deal that will send the Sharks’ Patrick Marleau to the Los Angeles Kings and the Kings’ Alexander Frolov and Jarret Stoll to the Senators.
Both Sharks GM Doug Wilson and Senators GM Bryan Murray denied the three-way trade when reached by ESPN.com.
added 9:52pm, from James Gordon of Hockey Capital at the Ottawa Citizen,
The Ottawa Senators have announced Dany Heatley won’t be attending a team golf tournament Friday amid reports the disgruntled winger has been dealt.
added 10:01pm, via the Kings official Twitter,
Kings are aware of today’s ESPN report but there is nothing to it.
added 10:07pm, via Rich Hammond of Inside the Kings,
Well, that’s the two-word text-messaged response from Dean Lombardi, in regard to the ESPN-reported Marleau/Frolov-Stoll/Heatley trade: ``Complete bull.’‘
added 10:25pm, from Allen Panzeri of the Ottawa Citizen,
Murray is also getting increasingly frustrated with the many and various rumours about possible destinations for Heatley. Every time a new team is mentioned as being in the mix, Murray ends up getting a call from a general manager asking how his team ever ended up being named because it isn’t remotely interested. Murray knows rumours come with the territory, but they’re still annoying.
added 10:37pm, from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
Amid reports that the Ottawa Senators have traded Dany Heatley to the San Jose Sharks as part of a three-way deal with the Los Angeles Kings, sources tell TSN nothing could be further from the truth.

The 3 priniple Gm’s all denied it. I hope Buccigross got this one right for his sake.

Garrioch said the same thing earlier today. I doubt the trade would work out - the Kings would lose too much in this deal for it to work.

This is more interesting than the damned NFL game…

Remember that ESPN has newly introduced rules about social media. The tweet could have been removed to put more focus on the ESPN article.
The fact that the article says the report came from Buccigross makes me believe that the twitter account was valid. And the trade rumor coming from Buccigross is light years more credible than one coming from Garrioch.
And give Garrioch credit, the news he broke earlier this summer that the Senators turned down a trade to SJ that would have included Cheechoo, Ehrhoff and a 1st apparently was accurate.
One benefit of not having any sources is that you are rarely proven wrong.

Kinda surprised to see this come from Buccigross, he’s not usually one to throw stuff out there.

This trade would be way over Doug Wilson’s head anyway. I knew it was fake when I saw that it didn’t involve any Sharks draft picks.
Besides a trade like this take courage and guts, something DW lacks. If its not an underachieving 4th liner, or a 30 yr career 3rd liner then Dougie does’t want him.

ESPN hits another one out of the park.

ESPN gives me one more reason to ignore what few things they do say about the NHL.

I can possibly see Marleau traded but they wouldn’t trade him to Los Angeles.
