News out of Long Island has swift and slick forward Martin Havlat leaving the New York Islanders for Skilled forward Jeff Friesen and Defenseman Andy Sutton.
GM Navroz Khimji said the following while gofing in Whisler BC: "We felt that this trade was in our best interest. When we give up someone like Martin Havlat you better believe we knew what we were doing. Havlats contract will expire at years end, and we will have to sign him to bigger and longer deal. On the flip side we get back 2 excellent players that are signed for 3 years and give us some stability for the future. Andy Sutton is quietly becoming an excellent defenceman in the CPHL and Jeff Friesen fits the style that we want on this team."
Khimji also said: " I have to put my mark on this team period. There were some changes that needed to be made and i am half way to satisfaction rignt now, the season is still a bit away but i really wanted to get all this crap out of the way initially. If you are asking who's next? Well i guess we will have to wait and see. ..."
