Garon traded to Pens 

Post#1 » by Nolan » Sat Jan 17, 2009 5:44 pm

yahoo.com - The Penguins on Saturday acquired goaltender Mathieu Garon from the Oilers for goaltender Dany Sabourin, center Ryan Stone and a fourth-round pick in 2011.


I think we could of done better.

Well, Garon certainly wasn't helping us out as far as getting a good return goes. This is pretty much a case of two teams gambling on their guy doing better in a new situation. Here's hoping Sabourin's the kind of guy whose play improves when he gets even more shots coming at him.

EDIT: Ok, it is now just looking like we were desperate to unload Garon, regardless of whether we got much of anything in return.

...here's hoping that fourth round pick turns out to be something great. Oy.

(Sabourin has been placed on waivers)

Return to Edmonton Oilers
