RUMOR: Avalanche interested in Dany Heatley

Right now this is in the early stages, but I have spoken to a few sources who seem to agree that Pierre Lacroix, the interim GM of the Colorado Avalanche, is interested in Dany Heatley. Even though Bryan Murray said Heatley’s on the no-trade list, if the value for him is right, then this could be a possible deal.

There are many possibilities in the return but the main cog that Bryan Murray would like to get is the 3rd overall pick in this year’s draft currently owned by the Avalanche. Murray would like to have that pick because players like Matt Duchene, Evander Kane, and Magnus Svensson-Paajarvi are projected to go near that spot and all 3 of them are soon to be superstars. I have a feeling Paajarvi is his target. This deal could also involve Alex Auld as the Avs are in need of a goaltender.

How do you like this trade…
