In a 1 year league, I think Heater holds solid value this year. Unfortunately those who drafted the above players may not be willing to part with any of their slow starters for Heatley, but its worth a shot.

As Wayne Gretzky said "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take". Throw him on a trade block and see what kind of offers you get. Don't be surprised if you don't get lowballed. I would certainly be reaching out to the owners of the players above and see if any of them bite.

Good luck

haha, well if that's who you are trying to get for him I'm not surprised it didn't work...those guys are out of his class. Heatley has lost a step and his numbers have been in a steady decline for years so you're not gonna get market value for him. That said, I think he'll have somewhat of a bounce back season this year. That line he's playing on with Parise has looked great and with Parise feeding him sweet setup passes he should bury the puck more often than we've seen for some time....I had him pegged for a return to 65 pts this season before the lockout

Heatley's best return value exists with the Parise and/or M.Koivu owner.
Those GMs are already invested in the Minnesota production.
Start there.

I really shouldn't be interested in Heatley in my points-only league... but because I own M.Koivu, I'd probably be willing to listen to an offer.

I didn't try for these guys, just wanted to know if they would be an important upgrade over Heatley

I might throw 1-2 trades with Heatley and a D for better offense... I think Skinner and RNH might be doable.. thoughts?

parise looks to be a ppg player again koivu looks to be in line for one of his most productive seasons ever

heatley is pacing to barely beat the worst season of his career in terms of points pro rated

i dont understand exactly where all of this perceived heately value is coming from

I've caught quite a few games since I own a couple Wild players (not Heater though) and that line has looked pretty leathal, especially on the PP. Heater has hit a couple posts and fanned on some one-timers that he shoulda buried easily so my feeling is that the points will come...or I could be totally wrong and he just sucks -lol.

No but he's playing well, they just aren't all going in at the moment. I think its the perfect line for him. He's not a great skater or puck mover but if he can park himself in the slot and just have Koivu and Parise set him up (as they are both great at) its gotta translate to goals at some point, that's my logic

[kevinsrangers]

your list is in the order that youd be able to get. but i think youd have to send more than just heatly for any of them.

while all of this may be true imo none of it equates to moving any of the above listed players for him

i might try to buy him from a guy who expected a faster start out of him and didnt get it based on what you are posting above

my point though is that somehow heatley is being perceived as some kind of sell high when he is the furthest thing from it imo
