Senator's Captain Daniel Alfredsson hints that Dany Heatly may not be entirely welcome:The best resolution to the Dany Heatley saga would be to see the disgruntled left wing traded before the start of training camp on Sept. 12, captain Daniel Alfredsson said on Friday.Honestly this surprises me more than a little bit. The latest smoke signals suggest that Murray is about to give up on the idea of trying to trade Heatley and resign himself to sticking him back in the team come training camp.
All signs today point to Heatley reporting to training camp.
Given that, you would expect the on-ice leader to be making supportive noises, saying things like "we'll welcome him and his work ethic back on the team", "make the best of a difficult situation", positive things like that.
This is a signal to Murray that a dressing room under Alfredsson's leadership might not welcome Heatley back with open arms.
This never was the best way to be looking at starting a season, and this only makes things worse.
