Heatley hasn't just lost a step, he's lost several. I'm okay with the Wild finally having enough talent to not HAVE to play him on the top line.

Yeah, I didn't like the message it sent. Heatley has scored a few goals. He stands in front of the net and directs pucks in. No big problems. It sends a panicky message to demote him. You're supposed to trust the process, trust the system, keep working, but then you break up the only line that's been rewarded for their work.
