Hurricanes - PR

CALGARY HURRICANES ACQUIRE ROMAN CECHMANEK FROM CLUBBERS
An intra-division swap see's a new number one goaltender in Calgary

The Calgary Hurricanes acquired Roman Cechmanek for Bates Battaglia and a 2nd round pick today. GM Derek Major made the announcement after the latest lose for the Hurricanes. "We have such an explosive set of forwards and a solid group of defensemen, unfortunately we put too much pressure on Tobias Stephan. His future will come, and we will continue to develop him as he will back up Roman upon his return. We need a solid veteran pressence and Roman will give that to us." Said GM Major.

The young Tobias Stephan, who showed amazing progress last season, went out with an injury in his latest game. This will give the Hurricanes a chance to get back in the standings where they have seen themselves slip.
