HUGE SHAKE UP BY THE CLUB IN BRINGING IN RON WILSON TO REPLACE SUTTER IN THE MIDST OF A BIG WIN STREAK... BUT WE CONSIDER BOYES AND BONK TO BE UPGRADES OVER WHAT WE HAD HERE.

Get ahold of me soon, or my players will already be dealt!
To Vancouver: Guillaume Latendresse, Brian Lee, Marek Zagrapan and Matt Dagostini To SanJose: Alex Semin
Just some quick points as to why I wanted to make this trade:
1) my team needs a shake up, I feel Im underachieving
2) 22year old NHL caliber snipers are rarely available and because of my great top-end talent, all it cost me was a 3rd liner and prospects whose NHL futures are uncertain.
3) Semin's great contract...ill be pushing the cap soon cause of my big name RFAs so I need all the bargains I can find.
This trade might really look bad for me in a few years, but im thinking short/medium term
"Theres also talk of creating more room at the end of the rink by making the nets more shallow, which would be accomplished by encouraging them to spend all their time listening to pop music and reading Twilight books."
