Seven flippin' years people.
Seven more years of dekeing out Sheldon Souray; five more years of "Spezza finds Heatley with a backdoor pass - Heatley scores!"; seven more years of no-look drop passes to no one.
The Sens have $16-million tied up in Heatley and Spezza until 2011-12. The Sens also have team options for Alfredsson for $3.8-million until the same year. (source)
I'm psyched. The Sens are looking like a very talented team for a very long time.
