While Hawks are still terrible in terms of quality of goaltending, at least they’ve fixed problem of quantity by sending Jani Hurme to Edmonton in exchange for playmayking center Andy McDonald.
“McDonald is the guy I was trying to get before I was allowed to trade”, said Hawks GM Pointman. “Unlike Hurme, he can play in three different positions and will be very valuable especially with Hall out for 3 weeks. I think that now I’m close to have a line-up I want and generally slow down in trading. Current league-leading 4 games loosing streak won’t be a reason for any major trades.”
