PR - Hurricanes

HURRICANES TRADE HAMRLIK, REDDEN AND WILLIAMS

Only hours after the announcement that the Hurricanes would move
anyone - it all happened.

The first trade involved Wade Redden and Justin Williams being moved
to the Marauders immediately after the 5 - 1 loss against the
Renegades. "Well, the GM came down and both told us and then
announced it to the team. It wasn't too much of a surprise. We've
struggled so far this season and now the team needs changes.
Unfortunately for Justin and I that means we're gone." Said Redden.

The Hurricanes do acquire 24-year old Boyd Gordon who is known for his
power forward status. He is expected to compliment two other tough
forwards in Alexander Svitov and Ryan Getzlaf. Also in the trade the
Hurricanes receive a prospect in Ty Wishart. Ty is expected to be
part of a young defense corps that includes Ryan Parent and Badass
Jack.

Roman Hamrlik was traded to the Fog Devils in exchange for a 3rd round
pick in TFHL21, a move that was done in light of salary room and a
movement to the future. This trade was widely expected after the
re-building announcement as the 'Canes look to get cap room to make
other trades in the near future.

FIRE SALE: Its still on...I am still looking to move guys through the
next couple of weeks.
