Ducks coach Boudreau seems excited about his forward mix, may start Heatley on 1st line
Quote:
As for who will ride shotgun with Getzlaf and Perry, Boudreau suggested that free-agent signing Dany Heatley would get a long look as a trigger-man on Anaheim's first-line:
For the first time in an awful lot of years, he's not making a lot of money by NHL standards, if he wants to continue playing his motivation should be at an all time high. Thinking that he might be starting playing with Getzlaf and Perry would make me want to be in the best shape of my life, it could be the way to get another five year contract with a lot of money to end his career if he does what he's supposed to do. [...]
His whole life he's been a scorer and he's been a dynamic scorer. I believe you put people in a position to succeed, a lot of times you put a player like Heatley on the third or fourth line, he's going to play like a third or fourth liner. You give him the opportunity and the ball and say "here, let's see what you got" and it won't take long to find out if he's got it or he doesn't...
