Finally, a trade that doesn't involve the Marauders. So here's the shakedown: Cup champs Castlegar sent Chris Walters and Andrew Tarver to the GC Aviators in return for Gem City's first rounder, number 3 overall, Dakota's first rounder, number 6 overall, Rob Tafts, and Matt Ackerman.

I really don't wanna go there, so I won't, but due to all of the drama lately at TBN, a lot of which both Randy and Chris have been wrapped up in, Mr. Walters wanted out. If you would of told me last month that Chris Walters would be traded, I would have laughed at you and walked away. But with the way things have unfolded lately, I expected it.

Let's look at the Castlegar roster as it stands: Walters is a high caliber player, and he will be missed dearly by the Castors, but his loss does not open up any gaping holes in their roster. This is still an extremely deep lineup.

This deal really does solidify the Castors up the middle, Ackerman will most likely be fighting with Paul Korczyk for the number one center job in S6.

Really the singular hole in Castlegar's roster is defense, and this deal makes it slightly worse. Tafts is a downgrade at D from Tarver, and Tarver was a big presence in the Castors locker room. But at the moment, Castlegar doesn't even have enough D guys to fill out a lineup sheet, so look for them to expand on their defensive corps with the draft picks they recently acquired.

As for Gem City, this deal sets up a little better for them than it does for Castlegar. It brings even more star power to the Aviators roster, and it strengthens an already strong defensive corps. Although Gem City was a weak team in S5, the loss of the draft picks is acceptable. Tarver and Walters are proven entities in the BHL, and you never know what you're going to get with draft picks.

Chris Walters had no comment on the situation, but did agree on an interview in the coming days. As for Randy Geralt, he fucking hates me and this is what he said: "john andreson is a piece of shit and the bspn is even moreso." This pisses the hell out of me, but I'm not gonna sit here and bitch and moan. All I'm gonna say is thanks for the show of class man, love you too.
