This story? First time reading it. It was a good read

As hard as they wooed the two-time 50-goal scorer, going so far as to dispatch GM Steve Tambellini and president Kevin Lowe to Kelowna to speak to the Ottawa winger, and sending a spiffy video extolling the virtues of their hockey club and the city, Heatley dragged his feet.

I don't know if it's a burnt bridge. Looks like the bridge was never built in the first place. Quite an interesting story though. Could possibly be used to discuss how the Oilers put their eggs in one basket and didn't have a back up plan?
