DropIt: Are you sure you didnt hear Joe Sacco by mistake? This is a good depth move, nothing big but the Oilers took small advantage of the ‘Hawks cap situation and got themselves a good energy line/3rd line grinder for alot less then he likely is worth…. Although is he not a UFA pending?

Mr.Majestyk: Hey, the Hawks just traded for Reasoner, I guess we got the younger version of Marty. I heard that Fraser is like Joe Sakic if he had better hands!:)

I’m thinking this is why he was available as well. Looks like a good deal for both. Chicago sheds a contract and gains a pick, we get our depth centreman.

Reasoner, as much as he was maligned in an Oilers uni, was a good Oiler that we should have kept. Hopefully this kid is as good as Marty in the locker room and on the PK.
