Jets move Polak

[nickerjones]

The Jets have sent Roman Polak and Stuart Percy to Columbus in return for Dan Hamhuis.

While we hate sending Youth away bc we are trying to stockpile younger talent we thought Hamhuis was a more complete and better player than Polak. Although he is 3 yes older, Dan is rated higher overall and is leaps and bounds better offensively than Roman. The move was made easier with the plethora of solid D prospects in our system such as Gormley, Barrie, De Haan, Schietsel, and Gustafsson .

Thanks Dave and good luck to Roman and Stuart in Columbus.

Hamhuis is a dirty Canuck.

Nick can confirm I have been asking about Polak since he joined the league. We have seen him play a lot vs NHL Flames and he is a solid dman. We are also happy to add a 2011 1st round pick in Stuart Percy in the deal.

BUT possibly the best part for us is that we didn't need to send any cap so we now have $1.5mill in additional funds to work with.

There is no doubt Hamhuis is the better player to have but I am building a team of guys I like and Hamhuis wasn't one of them.

Thanks for the deal Nick and good luck with Hamhuis.
