Unless they used a compliance buyout on him? If they didn't it makes no sense whatsoever.

Maybe there's a trade?

I don't want anything to do with the headache that is Danny Heatley.

Nonis' Cliche Conference is about to start.

The over/under for Nonis' first cliche stated is 30 seconds... Place your bets!

Niskanen closing in on a deal with the Capitals.


Time for this to happen so Nonis can make his Phaneuf trade...

Either that or they want to make sure they to last

They're flying in the free agent they just signed. Got a jersey ready for him.

Maybe it's Ott and Boyle. They announce themselves as the "bash bros"

Then Komorov walks up and says what about me?

All wearing #CultureChange Leaf jerseys.

Oh jeez us (frank)ing price. Not only hAve you said 8 times to sign garbage slow ass Heatley, but you want to play him 20 mins a game wht Kessel?
Buddy, seriously, fuxking stop it.

Heatley is done.period. He was horrible last season and all he can do is stand still on the pp and hope the puck comes to him...

- MTL1

They felt he bailed on them this year, and if he was traded, and retired before his contract was up, Buffalo would be screwed for the recapture penalty. None of the offers on the table were worth that risk, so they bought him out.
