Canadiens the key to a Heatley trade?

One day after the Edmonton Oilers announced they’re out of the running for Dany Heatley’s services; it appears that the disgruntled winger’s request to leave the nation’s capital isn’t dead.

According to a report in the Ottawa Sun, Senators GM Bryan Murray could have ”an option” to move Heatley to San Jose but it would need a third team involved – possibly the Montreal Canadiens – to facilitate a trade.

The newspaper reported that the Sharks have shown interest in the two-time 50-goal scorer, but what they’re offering isn’t intriguing Murray. According to the report, the Sharks have tabled a package that includes winger Jonathan Cheechoo, along with defenceman Christian Erhoff and a first-round selection.
