Waived: Dany Heatley Clears Waivers, Fans Rejoice

[Speaking Moistly]

Hell no.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Ever hear of the saying "beggars can't be choosers?"

he is really really bad though. I'd rather have Rust and Megna on Sid's wings.

 

[wej20]

Need to give Healtley Paajarvi's legs.

 

[Shrimper]

Is there anything to stop us claiming him, playing him for 10 games or so till the team is healthier and then waiving him if he hasn't performed well?

 

[PensPlz]

Pens say sure. He can be a player sacrifice to the injury gods.

 

[LionelHutz*]

Anything is an upgrade over Megna and Ebbett.

You crazy

 

[billybudd]

Anything is an upgrade over Megna and Ebbett.

Honestly, Ebbett probably does more for you than Heatley these days. Even a guy that doesn't do a goddamned thing is preferable to Heater's work from 2013 on.

So as a related question, is Dupuis french toast?

Blood clots and Groin injuries are apples and oranges.

 

[FDBluth]

Getting Heatley would be exactly the same type of trap the Penguins have fallen into since, well...Ziggy Palffy.

 

[SarahCrash]

We have players in Wheeling that can do more on the ice than Dany Heatley right now... I'd pass.

I just saw that Derek Roy was put on the waiver wire. He has good hands. Maybe he's someone worth kicking the tires.

 

[Common Sense]

Yeah, pass on Heatley. Washed up bum and despicable human being.

 

[cajal]

Unless we dedicate another player to push Heatley around full-time with a warehouse dolly, not interested.

 

[Shrimper]

I think Comeau and Hornqvist are expected back around mid Jan? So around 8 games times. Why not bring him for those 8 games and see what he can do. If he sucks, waive him. Is he really worse than having AHL players in our top six?

Yes. AHL players at least provide us with a lot of energy and battle hard, because if they don't they may never see the ice again.

Seriously. I'm tired of Pittsburgh being a retirement home for washed up vets to spend their last season in the league with.

DO. NOT. WANT.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

**** that.

No more aging has-beens.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Absolutely not interested in Heatley. At all.

I'd definitely take a shot at Paajarvi, assuming he makes it to us. I highly doubt he will though.

I honestly wish that they would have thrown a 7th round pick St. Louis' way because of this. A 7th rounder has a much less chance of doing anything than Paajarvi does of finding his game with Crosby or Malkin.

 

[Captain Hook]

Do not want Heatley. That is such a Shero/Bylsma move.

We could really use a young wing with a little upside like Paajarvi falling to us on waivers. Unfortunately it's unlikely anybody decent that hits waivers will ever fall far enough for us to get them.

 

[eXile59]

Pretty sure Heatley is worse than most anything we can bring up from the Baby Pens. Paajarvi might be worth a try.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

No. No. No no no no no.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Why waste our time with this crap?

 

[SarahCrash]

Did no one like my idea of Derek Roy when he hit waivers?

 

[billybudd]

Roy's 5 foot nothing and washed up. Too busy putting a new coat of wax on his Ferrari these days.
