The Chicago Blackhawks announced today that they have acquired
defenseman Tim Erixon from the Columbus Blue Jackets in
exchange for forward Jeremy Morin; Erixon will report to the Blackhawks.
No, seriously, it felt like just when I started to get a sense of Jeremy Morin's skill set he'd be returned to Rockford or, this season, relegated to the press box for a month. Hawks fans can bitch about Morin being mismanaged and Coach Q having an apparent hate on for the lad, but the question remains; if Morin plays, who do you sit?
Yes, Regin and Danault parachuting in for guest spots would not have made Morin feel very valued, but it was plain to see that neither of those players were going to be around very long. Still, sitting out for a month would be bloody hard. At least Q didn't trot Rundblad out as a forward.
Not sure what to think or say about Erixon except that he couldn't possibly be worse than Rozsival was in Long Island on Saturday...
All the best, J-Mo. Say hi to Jack Skille for me.
You're Here by Accident. Make the Best of It.
A Mostly But Not Entirely Chicago Blackhawks Thing.
