Ryan Dadoun of Pro Hockey Talk notes that Coach Boudreau "thinks Heatley can be a better fit with Captain Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry on the top line this season than Dustin Penner was, a season ago.

Coach Bruce Boudreau said he thinks Heatley can be a better fit with captain Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry on the top line this season than Dustin Penner was last year, Pro Hockey Talk reports.

Analysis:

Boudreau noted that this offseason's free-agent experiment has been "a dangerous player" every time he's seen him. If Heatley gets the first crack at playing alongside these two top-10 fantasy picks, his value would skyrocket, but we'll see how things go during the preseason. While Heatley has two 50-goal seasons on his resume, he's been on a steady decline since the 2006-07 campaign and the Ducks have a lot of other options. If he does get top-line time, Heatley could return late value on draft day.
