In couple of interviews in Russian press with Ilya Kovalchuk Ilya seems honestly suprised Dany asked for trade. And he said Dany was very sad and kind of dissapointed...

[Vince]

I had no idea he asked for a trade....

[ahtikullervo]

There were several rumours all summer long and now (they were shot down) and now they spaek of August 9th as a date he did that...

Kovalchuk seemed very much not believing that...

This was also posted and discussed under the trade thread LINK.

I have too admit this one suprised me.

[thedux02]

Suprised me, too.

I cannot imagine being responsible for someone's death. Give him a fresh start and see what he can do.

I think as Heatley said he wanted a change of environment in the statement. Maybe Atlanta always gives him memories of Synder. Tragic the whole thing.

[ahtikullervo]

I hope he does fine in Ottawa. I believe Atlanta won this trade. Hossa is gooooooooooooooooooood...

[PortBeach13]

IMO I think both teams won this trade. I hope Heatley does well in Ottawa.

From TSN

[JUStheDUCKS]

[jojo983]

anyone on the sens with #15?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Peter Schaefer. but he will change his number to #27.

[sykora_39]

That was correct from Heatley!

[primstad]

Anywho, the Trashers won't be exactly less lethal with Kovalchuk and Hossa thereby on the rink... But in my opinions, the Sens won this trade...
