CANES ADD THEIR MAN

With a swap of prospect forwards, the ongoing saga of the 2004 Team Canada Junior club in Carolina continued.
Seemingly giving up on the prospect of adding any of the former Team Canada players, the Canes were surprised on Sunday to hear over the wire that the Calgary Flames were close to a deal with the Avs. Quickly, the Canes made the call and asked that the Avs add one of the youngsters to the much larger deal.
“The Flames and Canes have had a good working relationship over the past,” said head coach Joel Quenneville. “We have added some toughness to their lineup for a play off run, swapped star right wingers and exchanged needed cash and prospects. This was another deal of mutual respect and it was easily done.”
The Canes sent winger Blake Comeau in return for the services of Clarke MacArthur. Comeau is a speedy two way winger who has shown flashes of offensive talent and creativity. MacArthur is more known as a meat and potatoes type of winger who has a knack for finding an open man and similar to Comeau, has some jets when needed.
“Blake was going to be a fixture in the organization but when the availability of Clark was made known, we jumped on it.”
Comeau was noticeable upset about the deal as he left the arena.
“I am not mad about going to Calgary, of course.” Said Comeau. “The thing that bothers me about this is that I thought I had an understanding that I would get my shot. I never did. Another guy on this team once told me that no one is untouchable in Carolina unless you played on that god damn 2004 team or your name is Heatley or Fisher. Just another example of it I suppose.”
MacArthur will be reunited with his fellow team mates tonight. Look for the workhorse to make his way onto a line with former linemate Colin Fraser and likely Jeremy Colliton. The trio has been a menace on the international stage and look no further than tonight for the latest instalment of their story.
