Best "all smoke, no fire" Oilers trade rumor, all-time:
It took me MUCH longer than it should have to remember "Dany Heatly", likely due to the psychic after-effects of this whole sad episode.
IIRC it was Cogs, Pens, Smiddy but Dany was like "wait, what???!" like some hacky 90s comedian?
If the NHL was the Sopranos, Dany Heatly would be AJ (Anthony Junior) Soprano, hand's down.
What current/former NHLer aligns with another Sopranos character?
Not based on looks - but personality
Kevin Bieksa is definitely "big pussy" Salvatore Bonpensiero - capable, but distracted and divided. Doomed. Thwarted. Bitter but futile dreams of a future on the level.
