Outdated sports cards happen. Always have, always will. That's why traded sets became a cottage industry during the 1980s in baseball cards.

The latest set of Upper Deck hockey cards available at McDonald's around Canada are no exception, as Saku Koivu(notes) is presented as a Montreal Canadiens captain and Dany Heatley(notes) of the San Jose Sharks is featured on three cards: Twice as an Ottawa Senators winger, once as one of the prides of Canada. Koivu is listed as an Anaheim Ducks player in Upper Deck's official 2009-10 sets, while the Heatley trade apparently happened too late -- he's a Senator there as well.

Of course, there's a slight difference between depicting a player in his old uniform that management decided to let go, and featuring a player in a jersey he metaphorically threw in the garbage towering over the city of Ottawa. The back of the Heatley card is now unintentionally hilarious:

His latest hit being the $4 million bonus he was paid while demanding a trade.

Couldn't help but notice something about this Heater and the City card, up in the top left corner. We're sure it's a complete coincidence that in a random, non-alphabetical checklist, Heatley ends up as the "H8" card. Just like the player number for Miroslav Satan(notes) is completely random here on Yahoo! Sports. Uh-huh.

Stick tap to the National Post for the story.
