Now that Dany Heatley's rejected a trade to Edmonton what's next for he and the Senators? Read on for the latest on this strange saga.

OTTAWA SUN: Bruce Garrioch reports Dany Heatley's unwillingness to waive his no-movement clause to faciliate a trade to Edmonton will likely kill the proposed four-player deal between the two clubs. It's believed the Heatley camp was hoping the Senators could arrange a trade to the NY Rangers but with their signing last night of Marian Gaborik they're out of the market.

EDMONTON SUN: Robert Tychkowski reports it's an uncomfortable time for Oilers Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid. They're the players that were to be the return to the Senators for Heatley and now their futures with the club could be in limbo in the wake of Heatley rejecting the trade.

OTTAWA CITIZEN: Allen Panzeri reports Heatley is refusing to budge from being dealt to his preferred destinations, of which the Oilers were not on that list, while Wayne Scanlan believes Heatley's grand plan has failed miserably as the number of clubs on his wish list has shrunk significantly as some of those clubs have filled their needs via free agency.

SPECTOR'S NOTE: This situation is getting uglier by the day. I know Heatley has the right due to his movement clause to determine where he wants to go but it appears those clubs, including the Kings and Sharks, might not be willing to pony up the expensive asking price. The Oilers may not have been on Heatley's list but they were keen to acquire him. Edmonton may not be as glamorous as San Jose, Los Angeles or New York but it's a great hockey town with a very good team, one he could turn into a playoff contender. Heatley's hoping to hold out for a better destination but it could end up doing him more harm than good. I daresay the Oilers are no longer interested in him but now they've got three players who know they were close to being traded and that's not going to make them particularly happy campers.
