Columbus trade for youth

Dennis Jorgensen

GM, Columbus Blue Jackets

"As the Flyers are finally clicking we thought it would be a good idea to try to ruin the trend.
That's why we traded Karel Rachunek to Philly along with his minus 30 for the season.

Not only will he help bring back order in the east so the Flyers no longer will be a playoff team but we actually also got something in return for Karel. In comes Bryan Young, M. Aubin and Winnik. All 3 younger and none of them has a minus 30 for the season.

That being said we wish Karel, Bo and his Flyers all the best in the future.

Next on the agenda will now be to try to ship Rivet out of town. This will surely be easy as he is signed for 5 years and has a great set of skills. So if anyone is looking for a rock-steady defender to be a cornerstone on their team for the next 5 years and you have some great youth you just can't stand to have on your prospect list then just come knocking and we'll talk"

These were the last known words of GM Jorgensen, also known as GM OTHL, before he was transported back to the friendly environment of the mental institution.
