Nucks make a big trade letting go of their top defenseman for a sniper in hejduk. Gm joe states "We hope that our team can improve here. Losing pronger is a big deal on the blue line and it will be tough to keep the puck out of our zone and also hard for our d men to produce, but on the other hand hejduk is a talented player up front and can score many goals which will be very useful. Our team hopes that hejduk and cogliano will click and find a spark on the first line and that staal will fit in on the top line there." In this trade you also see petr cajanek going to pitts and lubomir vinovsky coming to the nucks. " needed to fill the gap as pronger left my d line is taking it but my offense is much more defined as my second line is now centred by svatos and winged by dumont and kobasew. Kobasew is having a great season so far and we hope this will only improve it even more. cajanek was a good player on our team but needed hejduk on that first line. Our dmen took alittle weaker but still have a fairly strong pairing in Cieslarov- martin, visnovsky- ehrhoff and niskanen -allen . Our team is looking for a strong season by cieslarov and for peter to change his trainging to attack lol so he can develop there. Although I am worried about between the pipes and if that rookie sauer can keep the puck out of the net but iam going to give him a shot in reg season." This trade was made a few days ago and the nucks are already 2-0 and gm joe looks like he made the right move but we will have to wait and see the rest of the season.
