It is being reported by TSN that Dany Heatley has been asked to waive his NTC in order to be dealt to the Edmonton Oilers for the speculated return of Andrew Cogliano, Ladislav Smid, and Dustin Penner.
If he does waive, the Senators are off the hook for a $4M bonus he was to be paid tomorrow.
The projected top line for Edmonton would be Shawn Horcoff, Dany Heatley and Ales Hemsky.

Heatley to Edmonton Done?
Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Wings and Oilers Pre-Game
Tonight, I'll be liveblogging the Wings and Oilers game at The Score. The Oilers sit somewhat uncomfortably in the 7th seed in the West. A win tonight would bump them to 81 points, 1 point back of the 6th seeded Blue Jackets, and give them a 5 point breathing room from rival clubs looking to crack the post-season. They certainly have a chance at doing so tonight against the Red Wings.
Detroit has come off a loss last night to the Calgary Flames and the back to back challenges of facing difficult teams, especially a team that is fighting to stay in a playoff position, could be a stronger game than most people would think.
Edmonton is also coming off a loss and has played poorly over their last 10 games, becoming streaky at best. They need to snap out of their 4-2-4 record and start leveraging the stats in the wins department. Detroit has fallen out of first in the West, 1 point back of the Sharks, and they have played 1 more game than the Sharks have. A win tonight will leap frog them back into first in the league, but regardless as to what position they finish in, it's hard to believe any of the top 3 will have a challenge in the first round.
Edmonton hopes to be that challenge, and a win tonight is a big statement to the league and to themselves.
