BlackHawks – Thrashers Blockbuster

According to ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun, the Chicago Blackhawks have traded forwards Dustin Byfgulien and Ben Eager along with defenseman Brent Sopel and prospect Akim Aliu to the Atlanta Thrashers in exchange for New Jersey’s 1st and 2nd round picks, top prospect Jeremy Morin, and forward Marty Reasoner.

Holy Blockbuster! Chicago has been demanding sky high prices all offseason and it looks like someone finally bit… Morin scored 47 goals in 58 OHL games for the Kitchener Rangers this past season. A steep, steep price. With this move, the Hawks have cleared $4.33 million in cap space (not including Eager who is an RFA).

    The deal is off for now. The deal would put Atlanta at 51 contracts. It will have to be re tooled.

    Introducing yoooouuuuuurrrr Atlanta Band of Idiots!!! The fact they didn’t see the ol’ 50 contract maximum shows you how dumb this teams own front office actually is. Maybe God has intervened to show mercy on these morons because IMO that is a terrible trade. To give up a stud like Moran is balls out stupid if they don’t have the vision to see him and Kane patrolling their left wing on the top two lines for a very long time. They are born in the SAME YEAR for god sake!?!?!? Your really telling me that it’s better to have Big Buff and Ben Meager do that instead? They deserve the fate that befalls them because that is just making a trade for the sake of making one.
