It’s official now, the Calgary Flames have acquired forwards Ales Kotalik and Christopher Higgins from the New York Rangers for forwards Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust. The trade was officially announced after the Flames game was over last night.
”Definitely, it’s a slap in the face to get traded,” Jokinen said as he left Pengrowth Saddledome. ”It was a long day. We heard everything (Sunday) night, I was kind of surprised. I wasn’t expecting to get moved, but it’s part of the business and I’ve got to move on.”
In an effort to shake up their team, the Flames have now acquired 5 forwards and 1 defenseman in the last couple days. They shipped out 3 forwards and 1 defenseman.
