	Glad you warned me. However, rumours are that the Canucks aren't going to keep both of them.

	Heatley traded to San Jose Heatley and a fifth round draft pick have been traded to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Milan Michalek, Jonathan Cheechoo and a second round pick. How does this make you feel, Lando? -----signature----- Everyone is entitled to my opinion. Go Toronto sports teams! All Hail Cliegg's Blue Leg!

	This is my take: this team does not need yet another head case.

	Wow, this whole thing is surreal. Reminds me of the Joe Thornton trade to be honest: San Jose gives up a handful of fan favorite players who can't quite cut it for one of the best players in the league. Doug Wilson does it again! This is a much better deal the the "Marleau to LA, Stoll and Frolov to the Sens and Heatly to SJ" deal that was announced by ESPN on Thursday night. I had actually texted 5 people about it that night in the half hour between when it was announced and when it was debunked by all 3 GMs. I'm actually glad my hockey pride took a hit after that. Giving up Marleau would have been a HUGE mistake IMO. It's pretty much the exact deal I was hoping for back in early August. I love Cheechoo but he'll never have another season like he did when won the Rocket Richard trophey. Michalek, while a decent player, was just taking way to long to develop into the star that he was supposed to be. It seemed like every year people were saying "this is his year!" and then nothing happened. I'm actually surprised that SJ didn't have to give up a first round pick in this deal. I think a lot of it had to do with Doug Wilson essentially waiting Ottawa out until the last minute. This also helps out SJ's cap issues even more because Cheech and Milan are both WAY overpayed and total more than Heater. Heatley should be able to help Thornton become 100+ point scorer again. And while I'm happy that Heatley is joining the team, goal scoring hasn't exactly been San Jose's problem. We still need a strong captain and while I have faith in Marleau and would love to see him reinstated I know a lot of fans have been disappointed. (Heatley will probably complain and request to be traded if he isn't made captain )But frankly, when your captain has his best season in his entire career and scores your only game winning goals in the playoffs it's hard to blame him. He's unfairly become the scapegoat for all of the Sharks playoff losses. His biggest issue is when the fans/media loose faith in him, he tends to loose faith in himself. Final thoughts: The Sharks top two lines look siiiiiick and I can't wait to see them in action. (I'll be there on Friday for some preseason action against Vancouver) Heatley-Thornton-Setoguchi Clowe-Pavelski-Marleau December 1 against Ottawa will be an interesting game. Plus that's the day after my birthday. Finally, what do I do with my Jonathan Cheechoo action figure now? -----signature----- "A delayed game is eventually good, a rushed game is bad forever." - Shigeru Miyamoto San Jose Sharks:15-5-4 Defending President's Trophy Winners

	Ah, preseason kicks off and I have hockey to watch again. Time for me to start catching up on all the trade news I usually ignore in the summer. So, wow, no more Gomez, huh? That's a surprise.

	I don't see the point of the Kessel trade.

	...and a lot of people say the Leafs need scoring.

	I'm goin to see San Jose and Vancouver tonight. Heatly won't be playing though. At least I'll get to see Lukowich and Erhoff one last time at least. -----signature----- "A delayed game is eventually good, a rushed game is bad forever." - Shigeru Miyamoto San Jose Sharks:15-5-4 Defending President's Trophy Winners

	Kessel to the Leafs for two first rounders and a second....signs 5 year/$27 million contract It's a risky move for sure but I hope it pays off for us. -----signature----- Everyone is entitled to my opinion. Go Toronto sports teams! All Hail Cliegg's Blue Leg!

I think everyone would agree he's worth at least a 1st and 2nd. The other 1st will hopefully be no better than 8th, 9th, or 10th(worst case scenario). If you look at the list of the 8th, 9th, and 10th picks from 95-2005, they aren't that spectacular.
