By refusing to waive his no movement clause and declining a trade to Edmonton by midnight, Dany Heatley, whether he intended to or not, stuck it to the Ottawa Senators Wednesday night. The Sens will now be on the hook for a $4 million signing bonus to be paid to Heatley, whether they end up trading him or not.
After Heatley nixed a deal to Edmonton on Tuesday night that would have sent Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid to Ottawa, the Oilers attempted to woo Heatley on Wednesday night, but it clearly wasn't enough.
It appears as though the Dany Heatley vs. Ottawa Senators saga may be just beginning.
