Chynoweth pulls the trigger on important trade

After tons of rumours suggesting the Houston Spirit were trying to deal for an offensive defenseman, General Manager Jeff Chynoweth finally pulled the trigger on a deal with the Chicago Blackhawks.

Chynoweth traded promising young defenseman David Ruzicka and a 2nd round pick in 2009 previously acquired from the Islanders to the Chicago Blackhawks for 35-years-old defenseman Adrian Aucoin.

Aucoin, who commands a 4,000,000$ salary and who is on the last year of his contract, never played up to his potential in Chicago and is looking forward to a new start in Houston. He will wear #3 with the Spirit.

Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Lightning announced that they traded Ales Hemsky to the Vancouver Canucks for multiple prospects.
