Dany Heatley is known for two things.  The first is the disaster that took place when he was a member of the Atlanta Thrashers, where he was responsible for his teammate’s death from a car crash.  The second is what he accomplished on the ice where he was a former Calder Trophy winner and a star for the Ottawa Senators.   Is he a Hockey Hall of Famer?   He probably is not, but his time with the Sens is better than he gets credit for, and he is a two-time Game-Winning Goals leader.

Statistically, Dany Heatley should merit a higher ranking, but in 2003 he crashed his car, which killed his friend and teammate, Dan Snyder, causing him to miss nearly a full season.  Heatley would request a trade from Atlanta to put the past behind him, thus alienating the fan base that stood by him who supported him through the tragedy.
