Jets GM Walsh announced early Thursday evening that his club has made an important transaction. The Jets have acquired veteran winger John Leclair from the Capitals in exchange for young forward Dimitri Afanasenkov, and Garth Murray. The Caps also sent a hockey bag full of cash to help the Jets pay for John's salary.

Basically we were in need of another decent scoring forward and despite the belief from the lousy Isles GM, Afanasenkov and Murray were attractive young players for the rebuilding Caps. We are expecting John to come in and score some goals for us, and hopefully get us into the playoffs and then from there no one knows what will happen. Garth and Afanasenkov will develop into fine young players for the Caps and we wish them all the best.
