Isles acquire Matthias

[simmer2]

The Isles continue to work hard at trying to improve our dismal roster.

To Isles
Shawn Matthias
$1.6mm

To Columbus
Chris Bigras

Bigras was an early 2nd round pick in 2014 and is one of the Avs' top defensive prospects.

Matthias can come in now at his 64 OVR rating and immediately help out the centre position. I hate that he is a Canuck, and he started off the year really poorly, but hopefully will maintain or improve on his stats.

Thanks Dave for the easy deal.

Matthais was available?!?

[TurdFerguson]

that's one Bigras deal!

We are happy with the trade, we get a decent asset for a guy we don't really use and make room to call up Jacob Silfverberg.

Thanks Simmer for the smooth talks.
