Heatley is awesome, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn'y "build a franchise around him" He is a great 2nd guy, but not THE guy. I kinda compare him to Sundin...not in how they play, but rather, neither one is the man to be building a franchise with....maybe the best "2nd" guy in the league, but not a #1.

The trouble with losing Toews or Kane is that they are adored back in Chicago. I don't see how they think both will stay. Not to mention the youth factor. Not sure I would have signed Hossa with so little cap room either. Just doesn't seem to make long term sense. As I said before, I think they are looking at this as the best team they can put together for next season to try and get the Cup.
