I've seen Heatley for Marleau and a draft pick bandied about (the draft pick since Marleau is a UFA after next season). But, in this day and age, it's not often that you see a captain traded. Last one I can think of off the top of my head is Jason Smith (summer of 07?) and even then he had become a much slower player then (although, still quite gritty). Marleau's play hasn't deteriorated, but perhaps they're looking to change the culture in the locker room?
