Heatley knows his departure was contentious and understands it may still be a sore point for some fans even 15 years later. He says he’s prepared to answer the inevitable questions on that front when he speaks to the local media on Thursday.
“I’ve got a few things to say, but I’ll deal with it when we come to town,” says Heatley.
But he wants Ottawa fans to know that his trade request never had anything to do with the city or the fan base.
“The way it went down, a lot of things were out of my control. That’s the biggest thing I want to convey to people. It wasn’t anything against people in Ottawa or the fans,” says Heatley. “Those were four of the best years of my life and arguably the best four years of my hockey career. So I’m just excited to be back and in that atmosphere.”
I think most fans understand what was going on now.

Sens sign Ullmark to a 4 year $33M deal. He goes from a $5M cap hit this season to a $8.25M cap hit next season. Base on this year's cap hits, that would be a top 5 paid goalie.
Swayman, his goalie partner in Boston last season, makes 8.25 this season.

As previously established, I have lost all concept of time and almost missed that hockey season was upon us. To that end, I haven't even **looked** at the schedule yet, let alone added it to my calendar. Just looked...
The Ducks and Sens literally play their two games within 10 days in December?? I am NEVER going to get a schedule conducive to a trip to Ottawa am I?
