Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

Edmonton sends

Horcoff (70)
Edm 2nd 2012

Calgary Sends
Scott Glennie (71)


I am in need of a pure goal scorer. Hate to help the Flamers out in the FA circle but I feel in the long run this is a big benifit to the team as it also clears cap space for signing some important young stars. Horc has 3 more years after this at a costly $5.5M With Ebs and Summers up for likely big raises this is an important move.

Scott Glennie was not part of any of my future plans. I know he's got potential and average-to-good consistency but he did nothing to impress whatsoever. His place belongs somewhere else where he can maybe crack a roster spot in the bigs.

Horcoff is a great leader who can log in big minutes. Obviously he's got a shitty contract but since I can afford him now there's no way I was gonna pass on this.
I guess a second round pick is not that bad also.

Summer time could be short this year in Calgary.



I also really enjoy the fact that I'm robbing a division rival from his captain.
Calgary's newly-named and injured captain Dion Phaneuf now has Brad Richards and Shawn Horcoff to provide leadership to this young Flames' squad.

We'll rule on this trade tomorrow. I'd like to just get the sim done tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience, guys.

This trade is Approved and will be entered post-sim.

Horcoff's CON drop has been reset.
