KOVALEV ASKS HEATLEY TO STAY, BUT DANY IS CONSIDERING SAN JOSE...



DANY HEATLEY AS SENATOR...STILL

Newly signed Senator Alex Kovalev says he's hoping Dany Heatley will still be wearing an Ottawa uniform this season.

Kovalev told reporters today that he knows Heatley from playing with the star left-winger in Russia during the NHL lockout. And if he had a chance to speak to him, he would urge the disgruntled winger to stay put.

Heatley has asked to be traded, giving the Sens a list of possible destinations.

Kovalev joined the Sens earlier this month from Montreal as a free agent. The 36-year-old right-winger signed a two-year deal worth US$10-million.


ALEX KOVALEV AS CANADIEN

The Sharks remain possible suitors for Heatley, the Vancouver Sun reports.

Heatley to the Sharks is pure speculation at this point, and apparently, Sharks GM Doug Wilson has a firm grip on the rules for talking about other team’s players. “I’m not talking about somebody else’s player, period,” he said to the San Jose Mercury News. “I’d be furious if another team talked about Joe Thornton or Dan Boyle, and I would file tampering charges.” You might know that Heatley, a controversial winger, has been the subject of trade talks with Edmonton, albeit discussions that are dying out. With that in mind, the Sharks are more in line with what Heatley could be seeking: A high-caliber offense that would afford him plenty of scoring chances and opportunities on the power play.
