San Jose Trades Heatley to Minnesota for Havlat
San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the club has acquired forward Martin Havlat from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for forward Dany Heatley.

Havlat, 30, posted 62 points (22 goals, 40 assists) in 78 regular season games, which tied for the team lead in Minnesota. He also tied for the team lead in game-winning goals (4) and led the team in shots (229).

The 10-year veteran has posted 512 points (209 goals, 303 assists) in 621 career regular season games with Minnesota, Chicago and Ottawa. He has added 49 points (19 goals, 30 assists) in 67 career Stanley Cup Playoff games, including 28 points (12 goals, 16 assists) in his last 26 postseason contests.

Havlat is a former NHL All-Star (2007) and was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team in 2001. Internationally, he has represented the Czech Republic at the Olympics (2010), the World Cup (2005), the World Championships (2004, 2000) and the World Junior Championship (2000).

“Marty is a player that we have had an interest in for a long time,” said Wilson. “He can play either wing and brings creativity and breakaway speed to our group of top-six forwards. We are excited about the versatility he adds to our lineup.”

The six-foot-two, 217-pound native of Mlada Boleslav, Czech Republic was originally selected by Ottawa in the first round (26th overall) of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.

Heatley, 30, appeared in 162 games for San Jose in two seasons posting 146 points (65 goals, 81 assists).

“When players that we have targeted become available, you need to be able to react quickly and you also have to pay a price in order to acquire them,” added Wilson. “When we made the Brent Burns trade, we knew we still needed to address our speed up front and we think the acquisition of Marty does that.

“We truly appreciate everything that Dany brought to our organization,” stated Wilson. “He is a tremendous professional and we wish him the best.”

Confirmed by Bob McKenzie and Gord Miller as well as the Sharks website. You can't get much more reliable sources than them.

Having watched Havlat play in Chicago for three years, though he did hurt his shoulder and missed most of the 2007-08 season, I can't fully understand the trade.

Havlat is a consistent goal scorer who has missed scoring at least 18 goals in a season only twice in his career and both times it was due to a shoulder injury.

what does Doug Wilson have on the Wild to make these trades happen? Not that Setoguchi is a bad player, in fact he's a pretty good player, but Brent Burns is still a really good defenseman and left Minny with a patchwork on the blueline.

Heatley is (IMO) a cancer in the locker room, if things don't go his way, he wants out or pouts and doesn't play his all, how long before he demands out of Minny?

Wow, this one is a huge shocker! Is San Jose dumping salary, or were they just not happy with Heatley? I know he was pretty much invisible for the Sharks in the playoffs.
