Thunder Bay, ON- There was apparently some unfinished business between the Thunder Bay Timberwolves and Prague Piranhas after completing one deal in the past two days.>>>That business was the acquisition of left winger, Simon Gagne for the Timberwolves' 2011 second round pick.
>>>"Simon was apart of the discussions in our previous deal," said Timberwolves general manager, Blake Wendt. "I think we settled for what we had going then and I didn't include Gagne in the offer then. Matt (Young, Prague's GM) sent out a list of his available players soon after the league announced our deal, and Gagne was on that list. It was about as quick a transaction as there can be. I ponied up the second and he took it. No haggeling or anything like that."
>>>"We're very excited to be bringing Simon Gagne into the fold here in Thunder Bay. He's another weapon up front that the opposition cannot hide from. With the guys we have and the ones coming up, I feel we have four very solid lines going into the season. I don't see any reason to make anymore moves. I think we'll close up shop for the next several weeks and enjoy our summer."
