As you might imagine, heads are spinning in Ottawa after yesterday’s news that Dany Heatley wants to be traded from the Senators. This morning, Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen included the Kings (in addition to Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and the Ducks) as theoretical trade partners for the Senators, citing Alexander Frolov and the No. 5 pick as a theoretical deal.

On the other hand…fellow Ottawa Citizen reporter James Gordon threw some cold water on a Kings-Sens possibility — alluding to Frolov as a “soft, inconsistent replacement” — and painted a not-so-pretty picture of the end of Heatley’s time in Ottawa.
