HEATLEY VS. CLOUSTON

It was reported on Tuesday that former Alberta Junior Hockey League and now NHL Super-Star Dany Heatley wants out of Ottawa and some reports suggest it may have to do with another former AJHLer.

According to the Ottawa Sun, Heatley want the Senators to trade him away because he wasn't happy with his new and diminished role under former AJHL Bench Boss and now current Sens Coach Cory Clouston.

Heatley's sentiments aren't unsuspected.

Under Clouston Heatley was moved to the second power play unit, played in the neighbourhood of 12 to 14 minutes per game and is coming off a season which saw him register 39 goals and 33 assists - his lowest offensive contribution in a Sens' Uniform.

The Sun states that according to league sources the differences between to two AJHL Alumni are irreconcilable.

Heatley, who scored 70 goals in his rookie campaign with the Calgary Canucks, won't be an easy trade - having 5 years remaining in a 6 year 46 milion dollar deal.

Clouston meantime, a former AJHL coach of the year for his work with the Grande Prairie Storm, replaced Craig Harstberg near the end of last season and had his iterim tag removed after coaching the Sens to a 19 - 11 - and - 4 record.

SUTTER STEPS DOWN

Will Brent Sutter come back to his Red Deer Rebels?

Will he work under brother Darryl and Coach the Calgary Flames?

Only time will tell.

One thing is for sure however, he will not be coaching the New Jersey Devils next season.

During a conference call from his ranch near Sylvan Lake, Sutter made it offical and resigned as head coach of the Devils.

Sutter cited personal and family reasons for the decision adding that the Devils' crushing loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in first-round of this year's playoffs had nothing to do with it.
