Dany Heatley gets an "A" in Ottawa

Dany Heatley has been named an assistant captain for the Ottawa Senators. Congratulations, Dany!

"There's a lot of guys that we looked at," Hartsburg said Friday. "It was my conversations with Dany over the summer and watching the players and how they interact with teammates and their work habits. I think Dany will be a great leader."

"It feels great," Heatley said. "I've been here three years now and in the League for six or seven and I feel I can do more -- be more of a leader and play in more situations and Craig has given me that opportunity. It's definitely an honor."
