The San Jose Sharks have finally moved Dany Heatley. He will be going north to the Anaheim Ducks along with Johnny Oduya, prospect Tim Erixon and a 2nd round pick this year. Coming back to the Sharks is Evgeni Malkin and a 3rd round pick.

This was an easy deal for the Sharks to make, especially with the way the Kings have been beefing up lately. The Sharks will likely make the playoffs, but realistically, the chances of winning the Cup this year are slim. We moved a guy who is a pending UFA and turning 30, a defenseman with a decent rating who has been underperforming (10 GP, 1 A +/- 0) and a prospect who is still a couple years out from joining the big club. (And he's a Flames prospect anyways... who wants those?)

This leaves us a little bit thin on defense, but Malkin will continue to be a very tradable asset for years to come.
