While still trying to deal Dany Heatly - a talented goal scorer unwilling to put in a full effort every game - the Ottawa Senator's have signed Alex Kovalev - a talented goal scorer unwilling to put in a full effort every game.
In other Sens news, the team has signed tough-guy Chris Neal to a four year deal, meaning Neal may be able to play his entire career in Ottawa - a rare feat in the modern NHL. In an interview on Team 1200 yesterday, Neil expressed his respect for the Senators organization and his love of the city itself, noting he intends to remain in Ottawa after he retires from hockey. Neil's comments (and willingness to take less money on his new contract so that he can stay a Sen) only serve to further emphasize what an a-hole his teammate Dany Heatly has become. As Neil put it in the interview, lets get rid of Heatly and be done with it. What this city needs is more players like Neil, and less like Heatly. Here's to you number 25!

The fact that Kovalev was signed in the midst of the Heatly debacle would tend to suggest the ex-Montreal Canadian recognizes the need to put in a consistent effort under his new coach Cory Clouston. Here's hoping he can help turn thing around for this troubled Sens team.
