Prince George, BC –
The Prince George Cougars have traded import defenceman Martin Marincin (1992 – Kosice, Slovakia.) along with three draft-picks to the Regina Pats in exchange for import defenceman Ricard Blidstrand (1992 – Stockholm, Sweden.), a first round draft pick in 2012, a second round draft pick in 2012 and a 5th round draft pick in 2013.
Ricard Blidstrand has record 13 points (three goals) through 30 games played this season with Regina. Blidstrand has also registered 16 penalty minutes and is a +4. Blidstrand has played 100 games in the Western Hockey League and has 30 career points, all with Regina.
In addition to Marincin, the Cougars are also trading a fourth round draft pick in 2012, a seventh round draft pick in 2012 and a 4th round draft pick in 2013 to complete the deal.
Marincin had four goals and 17 points through 30 games this season with the Prince George Cougars.

Looks like a decent deal, with a first and second round pick coming in return.
I thought they should have waited until the deadline with Inglis as well.
It’s only a good deal if Management and Scouting pick decent players in the draft.
Let the annual implosion begin.
Didn’t R. Brodsky announce from his throne that this would be the break out season? What kind of hot sauce does a person use when you open mouth and insert foot?
Wasn’t Marincin their leading goal scorer? :)
Can we trade Dallas Thompson for a bag of pucks?

Well, I can’t fault management for being optimistic. You wouldn’t want them to say at the start of the season, “We’re gonna suck this year! Stay away! Don’t buy tickets!”
Yes, the Cougars are bad, and it’s fun to be smug about it (I guess). But you can’t realistically expect people in the Cougars organization to be pessimistic.
Fair enough. Just venting my Cougar fan frustration. Kind of hard to watch them play in Vancouver. I’ve been to two since moving down here.
It’d be nice to go to a game without getting ribbed to the nth degree by the Giants fans. I leave feeling I want to start ripping jerseys over their heads. (just kidding)
:-D
