Adams is gone...

The Canes had a net gain of 2 players today - Cullen, Walker, and Hedican have been taken off of IR, while Craig Adams has been sent to Chicago for "future considerations".

It's sort of a shame to see Adams go, but in this year he was nowhere near productive for the Canes. At least he'll be part of the "Adams Family" again (Kevyn Adams is in Chicago as well, although currently he's on IR with a torn ACL -ouch!).

Game is tonight against Ottawa.

Interesting...

File this under interesting: Phoenix Coyotes trade Kevyn Adams to Chicago Blackhawks for Radim Vrbata.

One ex-Cane for another!

Yeah... that's actually all that's interesting about it... that's summer hockey news for ya...

We have a trade...

Today the Canes traded center Kevyn Adams to Phoenix for defenseman Dennis Seidenberg.

Well, I can't say I'm really surprised by this. The Canes played the Islanders game with only five defensemen, and Adams' TOI has been diminishing all year, plus he only has four points

It looks to be a decent trade. Seidenberg has 2 points on the year, so he doesn't appear to be a scoring defenseman. In fact, looking at the stats, he just looks to be a defenseman. Which is what we need.

I'll reserve any real judgement for later, when I actually see Seidenberg play with the team.

It is a shame that it's Kevyn, though. I personally liked Adams, and he was a fan favorite.
