Back to EpisodesHeatley's Peak vs. Hossa's Longevity
Description
On August 23, 2005, the Ottawa Senators and Atlanta Thrashers made a blockbuster trade, swapping star winger Marian Hossa and defenseman Greg de Vries for Dany Heatley. Heatley, seeking a fresh start after a tragic car crash, joined the Senators and became a goal-scoring machine, while Hossa brought stability to the Thrashers. Both players had significant impacts on their new teams, with Heatley leading the Senators to the Stanley Cup Final and Hossa helping the Thrashers reach the playoffs for the first time. In the long run, Hossas longevity and hardware, including three Stanley Cup wins, gave him the edge over Heatley.
