Well that will take the pressure off of management for another month or so. Nice work MacY.

Bottom 6 AHLer for Bottom 6 AHLer.

Insignificant move.

 

[Slats432]

Irrelevant for irrelevant. Oilers bold moves continue.

It doesn't mean much to the team, but I am really glad Acton is gone. I was very tired of him being callup number 1 because his dad is a coach and he played for the Marlies.

Here's the BIG TRADE everyone wanted

 

[Nunymare]

Looks like an OKC deal.

Lain is a decent bottom-six prospect. He owns a massive frame.

He was a sought-after UFA in college (I think the same year that guys like Sustr were signed) and he has played decently with the Canucks.

He got his first NHL fight in that line brawl against Calgary last year.

The acquisition of Shawn Matthias made him expendable, but he has some upside. Template of Brian Boyle, I guess.

Eberle is probably pissed. "Why couldn't I go. Will gets to go first. Talk about preferential treatment!"

Brian Boyle wouldn't be bad. But I wouldn't put my hopes up on this Lain guy. Oh well, no more Will Acton.

Exactly the reason why I'm happy to see him gone.

Pretty much this. We could have gotten STalin and Lenin in return and i would be happy (i am in Russia right now and that is the best joke i can come up wiyh)

Dat Bold move doe

 

[Morpheus]

Oh jeez, I guess we won't hear Kevin Quinn say ' tough actin Will Acton' anymore...sniffle

 

[Soundwave]

Could be a monstrous 4th line someday with Yakimov I guess.

6 foot 6, doesn't seem cripplingly slow either.
