Pricing Dany Heatley

Yesterday the Anaheim Ducks signed former Minnesota Wild forward Dany Heatley to a low-risk, low-cost one year contract worth $1 million. Lets take a look at how this compares to a handful of other recent free agent signings this off-season...

For the cost of this many Heatleys…	You could pay for...
7 Heatleys	Paul Stastny $7million, St. Louis Blues
6 Heatleys	Jaromir Jagr $6million, New Jersey Devils
5 Heatleys	Andrew MacDonald $5million, Philadelphia Flyers OR Radim Vrbata $5million, Vancouver Canucks OR Mikhail Grabovski $5million, New York Islanders
4.5 Heatleys	Jonas Hiller $4.5million, Calgary Flames
3 Heatleys	Stephane Robidas $3million, Toronto Maple Leafs OR Mathieu Perreault $3million, Winnipeg Jets
2 Heatleys	Brad Richards $2million, Chicago Blackhawks
1.2 Heatleys	Shawn Thornton $1.2million, Flroida Panthers OR Mike Brown $1.2million, San Jose Sharks
0.6 Heatleys	Curtis McElhinney $600k, Columbus Blue Jackets

There's not likely to be much upside for Anaheim with a Dany Heatley who has long since been on the decline, but at least his contract is not an albatross.

Reasonable enough, I won't complain.
