Stephane Yelle has been traded

[nccanes]

No details, but Bob says it's so.

[msgtcody]

Probably won't get details until the dust settles, I would imagine just a later round pick.

[puck_it]

to whom is more of my concern.

meh, not concern, curiosity.

[SoCalcaniac]

Has anyone seen anything else on this? Bob McK threw it out there, I guess details to follow after all the calls with the league?

[livinthedream]

Chip tweeted it too, so between those two sources you'd think it's legit, but I haven't seen any other details either.

[KaniacFever]

Poor Yelle. Gets waived earlier, no takers. Gets traded and no one can report to where :lol:

[ChickenParm]

Yelle and Harrison Reed to COL for 6th round pick.

[Jay]

Per @ice_chip:

Yelle + Harrison Reed to Colorado for a 6th

[caneshockeychick]

Yelle and Harrison Reed to COL for 6th round pick.

Seriously????

[Captain Slack]

Did Yelle win the Cup with Colorado?

[Jay]

Seriously????

Dumpin' the salary.

I don't think Reed was ever going to play serious minutes in the NHL.

Per the Canes on Twitter:

Stephane Yelle and Harrison Reed have been traded to Colorado for C Cedric Lalonde-McNicoll and a sixth-round pick, says Rutherford.

[BrooklynCaniac]

Yes he did

[caneshockeychick]

Sorry...I see Capt's post up there that indicates we did get a bit more than just a 6th round pick for 2 players.

[puck_it]

meh,

[KaniacFever]

Never heard of the guy coming back. Guess he'll be Daniels problem. Reed wasn't ever going to pan out.

[BrooklynCaniac]

Cedric had some solid numbers in the juniors and he's only 22 so i guess theirs some upside.

[dakuwan]

Did Yelle win the Cup with Colorado?

Twice

[puck_it]

good luck putting this new guys name on a ****ing jersey

[goalie33]

I'm gonna get myself a Lalonde-McNicholl Checkers jersey.

[superdave]

Let's see, that's 2 prospects, a 4th rounder and a 6th rounder for two guys that were on waivers a few weeks ago...

[caveman]

Nice. As a hyphenate myself, welcome to the team. Good luck back out west, Yelle.

[msgtcody]

Pretty sure Cedric Lalonde-McNicoll played for the Checkers earlier this year, he'll be going right back home.

[SoCalcaniac]

You have to give Rutherford a pat on the back, he sent guys to teams who had a chance to do something and with Yelle, he went back to the team he had tons of success with, and they're also in the playoff mix. Plus Yelle maintains a home in COL where his family lives in the off-season.

I'm not too concerned on all the assets back- We did some things and the GM did what he needed to do for the budget.

[caniac97]

I like the idea of having FOUR second round picks. Could come in handy on draft day as we try to move up the line.

[nccanes]

JR said we have 3...the other is for 2011.

[caveman]

"6 of the top 65 picks in the upcoming draft" is what Adam Gold just rattled off. And JR called it a "deep" draft or similar.

I agree. He gave Walker the opportunity to get a cup for what could be his last chance. He didn't send Corvo back to Canada where he obviously isn't comfortable and kept him close to home (if the wife/kids remain here). Alberts is single, so him moving out West isn't that big of a deal for him and he gets a chance for a playoff push. Although it seems JR didn't do any favors to Ward :lol:

I've heard the same. However, the following year's draft is looking very thin...or so the expects say.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

Thanks for always staying classy, Yelle!!

Decent return, IMO.

Looking at Lalonde-McNicholl's stats on hockeydb.com...besides his 3 games for Charlotte this year, he played juniors in Shawinigan last year. So our scouts probably caught wind of him while they were scouting Phillipe Paradis.
