www.letitan.com/nouvelles/nouvelle_en.cfm?id=283&ref=accueilThe Acadie-Bathurst Titan today traded defenseman Brad Tesink (1989-01-15) to the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. In return, the Titan acquires defenseman Olivier Dame-Malka (1990-05-30) Tesink had 8 assists, picking up 60 penalty minutes with a -6 rating in 43 games for the Titan. Dame-Malka had 5 goals and 11 assists for 16 points in 34 games for Cape Breton. He has 42 penalty minutes and a +6 rating. Both players will probably face each other this very weekend as the Titan hosts the Screaming Eagles in a two-game set on Friday and Saturday at the KC Irving Regional Centre.

 Guess we see now why Durocher was never a GM.... Just wait until we start drafting players based on our head scouts opinions such as MacDougall over Gouchie. it's trades like this that turn you into a mediocre organization.

You know it is a bad deal when there are a half dozen Wildcats fans on the Bathurst board complementing them on a nice trade ...  |

If that's true, by the stats it doesn't make sense. It only means we've got a 19 y/o instead of an 18 y/o on D. I'm scratching my head as I did with the Gouchie trade. Not sure why, but I've always liked Malka with his hard shot, a couple fights and has seemed to improve this year along with Meilleur.
Perhaps it's part of another trade? Oh, right, we've said this before....
Edit (again) -- can't wait until the 8th when we'll know whether to continue bitching about these weird moves or if things will be made clearer because right now it's weird.

Wow.
Absoultely awful trade. What the hell is Mario doing?
Good luck in Bathurst Malka. To say this deal is disappointing is the understatement of the decade...

You'd think an experienced coach would realize that talent has no age... |

I WONDER if this move could lead to something else? Some sort of package deal or something

What are you talking about ... you just added another player that was drafted in the 1st round. |

That sounds like PEI logic.  Which is what this team will turn into if deals like this become the norm. |

Not to belittle our new Dman but is he not pretty much the same as Malka defense wise but offers less offense and is a year older. This could be more of a head shaker than Gouchie for MacDougal.
At least Pascal had learned that trading for the sake of trading was at best useless and most likely not productive.
I'm starting to miss Pascal - I know I know I'll give it more time but at least I could understand the moves old shinyhead made.

I think even Pascal's biggest detractors liked him as a GM, the issues were with him as a coach.
Mario has a couple of days, hopefully he can pull something redeeming off.
