KELOWNA, British Columbia (AP) -Dany Heatley reiterated his desire for a trade from the Ottawa Senators, saying he’s unhappy with his diminished role.
Heatley spoke Friday during a conference call, the first time he’s commented publicly since he asked for a trade in the spring.
“When I signed in Ottawa two years ago, I felt it was to be an integral part of the team,” Heatley said. “Over the last two years and more recently over the past year, I feel my role was diminished. This past season, it diminished a lot more.
“I’m a player who can play in a lot of different situations. I don’t feel I was given that role on the team.”
The winger signed a six-year contract extension less than two years ago.
The former 50-goal scorer says if he’s still a Senator next month, he will report to training camp.
