Confirmed with Link: Car-Calgary Nemisz for Westgarth

[Flamesarmstrong22]

According to dregger on tsn. I know Nemisz was pretty much useless but I really don't see the point of Westgarth with Mcgratten here, seems like he is Jackman 2.0

Cool.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Start of something big happening.

 

[BVicious]

Scoring problem solved

[MuffinMerc]

Who?

 

[CNS]

Westgarth is the single handed worst NHL player in the league. At least he was with the Kings and he had the stats (and advanced stats) to prove it. Can't skate, can't hit, loses his fights, terrible terrible hockey player. My condolences. Honestly.

Burke has really lost his edge since being fired from Toronto

Yeah, he should have got Kadri at least.

True perhaps, but at least he is an NHL player.

We already have a lot of NHL players...

Glencross - Stajan - Stempniak
Hudler - Backlund - Cammalleri
Galiardi - Monahan - Jones
Bouma- Colborne - McGrattan

And then Byron. Maybe B. Jones. Got to off load some players, unless this a move for the Heat? And they already have MacDermid.

Honestly this is a 'meh' trade.. but good for Nemo getting a chance in another organization. We wish you well Nemo.

Maybe that's what this is about; giving Nemisz a chance somewhere else

 

[Volica]

Nemisz didn't really have a place in this organization anymore. Clearly he was at the bottom of a now long list of NHL-ready talent for the Flames.
Apparently Burke's loading up on some weapons here. Already have Big Ern and Lane in the organization as gooners... Feeling that this might be either
A) just giving Nemo a chance
B) a step into another larger move.

I think that was exactly the point of this deal, best of luck to Nemo! I hope he finds his game in the NHL soon. To bad we couldn't of got a draft pick though, even a 5th.

 

[Bosnian Beast]

This all boils down to one word: TRUCULENCE!

 

[StreakingRed]

I would have rather gotten a pick in return but whatever. Glad to see Nemisz moving on. Was never a fan.

 

[Ynnek]

I know nothing of him but they gave up more to get him than just got for him.

2013/01/13 Carolina Hurricanes traded Anthony Stewart, a 2013 fourth-round draft pick and a 2014 sixth-round draft pick to the Los Angeles Kings for Kevin Westgarth.

LOL

Miraculous.

 

[Beats By CoRD]

McGrattan getting suspended for the rest of the season?

Maybe Nemisz asked for trade?

 

[tfong]

Called it when he was drafted. Nemo was a terrible pick.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Westgarth is useless (from the bits of him I have seen) but Nemisz was never going to be given a chance here.

I'm happy for Nemsiz as he might get a better chance some where else.

JR added those picks to get rid of A Stew and his bad contract. The idea was to get rid of that contract and add some toughness and enforcement. Unfortunately, Westgarth can't play hockey and very rarely fights. At least that was his story with the Canes. Maybe he finds some suitors in the Western conference.

 

[Calculon]

Awful.

Glad Nemsiz gets another chance somewhere else but Westgarth is wholly useless, especially with McGrattan already here. I hope they're not planning on replacing McGrattan with Westgarth as that would be a massive step backwards.

Maybe this is just Burke adding more toughness for the Heat.

 

[Volica]

Anyone else feel we're about to get younger?

I think Burkie's loading up on another goon because we're about to take a big step back in veterans. Think we'll need to extra protection around these parts because 65-70% of the team is about to be under 25.
