from TSN,
Sources tell TSN a Dany Heatley deal to the Oilers is getting close, but not yet finalized.
The expected deal would see Edmonton sending Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid to the Senators in exchange for Heatley.
Heatley will be required to waive his no-trade clause.
added 10:48pm, Senators have now asked Heatley to waive his NTC. All the information is at the above link to TSN.
added 11:01pm, via Sportsnet,
Sources tell Sportsnet that the Ottawa Senators have traded disgruntled all-star Dany Heatley to the Edmonton Oilers for Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid.
added 7/1/09 12:05am, RDS (translated) says Heatley will not waive his NTC.
added 7/1/09 at 12:11am, If you want to follow this story to conclusion, I suggest watch Dan Tencer’s Twitter. He will provide you with the outcome, meanwhile, I need some sleep.
Bob McKenzie of TSN says deal is dead.

This is a horrible deal for the sens. They must be really desperate because of the 4 million bonus. What makes it even funnier, is heatley isn’t willing to waive his NTC to go to E-town. Gillis needs to jump on this. Throw in Bieksa, Raymond, and another player/pick/minor prospect.

What a joke. Players shouldn’t have a choice of teams to waive their NTC for. Either waive it or don’t. Either ask to be traded or don’t.
What a whinny prima donas.

Nope…if the sens have to pay 4 million additional I say they stop dealing and let his ass sit on the bench or ahl. Seriously…this guy must think he’s friggin Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux or Rocket Richard. What a douche to the bag.

id rather not have than letting him do the same thing he did to Ottawa. Ottawa should do what they did with Yashin, or philly with Lindros. waste his year

Good luck with this one…really…is there any place to drive your ferrari in edmonton Dany boy? I’d figure he’d go to the rangers but apparently the gomez dump got too much salary in return.
On paper it sounds good for edmonton but really…is heatley even going to buy into their system? Getting rid of penner? Shouldn’t have offered him that much based on his perceived potential. I’d say this trade is a wash. Had Ottawa had the BALLS to ask for Hemsky in return it would’ve been in their favor. Hemsky is a hockey God playing on a team of boys…and now I guess crybabies.
