What we gave:
Evan Oberg
Joel Perrault
A third-round draft pick for 2012 (Haha, hope the Mayans were right!)
What we got:
Chris Higgins (from Florida)
Maxim Lapierre (from Anaheim)
MacGregor Sharp (from Anaheim)
So apparently, Chris Higgins is a 3-time 20 goal scorer. Then how come we've never heard of him? Because he played in Florida. First of all, it's easier to get more ice time in Florida, because they have fewer good players. Second of all, nobody cares about hockey in Florida, whether you live there or here, no one cares, Mr. Bettman.
Maxim Lapierre is joining his third team of this season. He started with Montreal, was traded to Anaheim, and now we got him. Why would we want a guy like this if nobody else does? Beats me.
MacGregor Sharp has played 8 NHL games with the Anaheim Ducks. Could he be our fourth-line centre? Probably not, especially when we just traded for Lapierre, who, by the way, is a centre. Sharpie's probably just a depth-type guy.
On a sadder note (because nobody cares that Oberg, Perrault, and a 3rd-round draft pick got traded), Cody Hodgson and Victor Oreskovich have been re-assigned to the Moose. Sad, but true. I actually thought they played well together in the Bruins game, Resky was out there crashing and banging and CoHo got a couple really good scoring opportunities too. But I guess, there's always the option of recalling them again if these new acquisitions fail to measure up. Maybe next year is Cody's year. All I can say is, thank goodness Mason Raymond didn't get traded!!
