Blockbuster Deal Shocks Hockey World
TFHN - Daniel Ronel, Oct. 1
Austin, TX • BOOM! Now that is what I call an RKO outta nowhere!
The Austin Bruins have shipped off superstar centreman Claude Giroux and standout prospect Mark Stone to the Hamilton Huskies in exchange for über-hyped rookie Connor McDavid and "God" (as nicknamed by Adam Stier and Isaac Reich) Tyler Toffoli.
"We want to take the league year by year," Huskies manager Jon Baloney tells us. [We need to] focus on how [we] can win this year. I knew how much value McDavid had to other owners and that I can get a lot of help this year. That's what I did in getting Giroux and Stone. I expect great things out of McDavid and hope he performs well for my friend, but competition, in Balter."
Head coach Jerry Krotz took a moment to explain his motives moving forward; "I was actually fiddling around with some ideas for lines today after the acquisition of Giroux and Stone. I came to the consensus that Giroux would fit in as a first-liner — alongside Benn and Voracek — as well as getting first [powerplay] unit duties. Stone, on the other hand, right now fits in as our fourth line right winger." Krotz adds that he "is a very good player, [but] we are just very deep down on the right side, and hopefully Baloney can do something about that.
"Both guys while playing very different roles on the team will be a very significant part of the huskies success this year."
More on this story never. ∆
