Sharks/Hawks make a second shocking trade
The Sharks and Hawks GMs hooked up yet again for a huge deal...heading to Chicago are Oilers cast-offs Ales Hemsky and Shawn Horcoff. The price paid for these two is HUGE, as Chicago sends John Cheechoo "Train" and Paul "I'm not from" Kariya along with a 2nd round pick and some cash considerations...
Why pay this price? The team was struggling and needed a shake up and with the Train's inability to put a puck in the net in the NHL we felt that getting a stud like Hemsky was worth it...
The Lines will be more balanced and will now shake up as:
Parise-Forsberg-Hemsky
Horcoff-Ribeiro-Perry
This provides a good balance of grit, passing and scoring on both of the top two lines...I'm ready to be buried
