sorta OT: Big WHL trade

[puckhead]

Giants send captain Craig Cunningham to the Portland Winterhawks for some high picks and spare parts.
that's a big, big addition for the Hawks, and pretty much resignation for the Giants' season.


/I know there's a few WHL fans on board here.

Will he be the Center on Nino's line? That is if Nino survives the WJC. The Winterhawks should be nervous. Islanders prospects are goiing down like flies in Buffalo.

I'm excited about the trade. We already had a good core going into this season. One more impact player certainly helps our chances for a championship.

WHL?

Who?

hes considered an overage guy right?

good pickup for Portland ... Cunningham was to have been playing for Providence this season but Boston was at the 50 nhl contract max coming out of training camp so they couldnt sign him

Looks like a good trade for both teams...Giants re-loading for the future while the Winterhawks load up for a run at the Memorial Cup.

/Pleasantly surprised at how well the Medicine Hat Tigers are doing this season (although they lost pretty bad to Kootenay last night)
